Arts Missoula is committed to providing access and assistance to those with disabilities. Unfortunately we do not own or manage any of the venues that our events take place at, so at times issues of accessibility are out of our control. If you have questions or would like more information regarding accessibility please call our office at 406.541.0860 or send us an email using the form at the bottom of this page. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can get help with telephone access by using the free relay service – 711.

First Friday
On the first Friday of each month venues across Missoula, primarily galleries and museums, participate in an art walk. This event is organically produced, meaning that each particular venue produces its own event independent of the rest. Arts Missoula’s role in First Friday is to collect and distribute information about each distinct event. The number and type of venues that participate vary on a monthly basis. If you would like more information regarding accessibility we recommend you contact the venue which you will be visiting directly.
Events Promoted on this Website
In addition to First Friday, Arts Missoula often promotes events not directly produced by Arts Missoula. For questions regarding accessibility, please contact the organization directly.
