The Depot Festival of the Arts is back! Festival hours are from 10am to 6pm on the 2nd & 3rd, then from 10am to 5pm on July 4th. The Festival of the Arts showcases fine artists and crafters from Montana and the western region into the juried show. Vendors will present oil paintings, photography, woodwork, ceramics, jewelry, metal work, apparel, repurposed antiques, stained glass, herbals, toys, and more.
The event also includes a variety of food vendors like mouth-watering bbq, freshly made crepes, tasty burgers, smoothie bowls, stir-fry combos, chocolates, specialty lemonades, flavored ices, espresso and more.
Visitors can also enjoy the adjacent Depot Museum’s historic rail and Yellowstone exhibits as well as this year’s special exhibit “Wondrous West: Art, Tourism & National Pride” May 25 through Sept 7. The curated collection of vintage imagery features advertising campaigns from railroads and travel bureaus spanning nearly a century of America’s romance with Western tourism. The exhibits are open Mon-Sat 10am to 5pm with a nominal admission. Group tours are also welcome, and more information is available through the Depot office at (406) 222-2300 or its website, www.livingstondepot.org.
