Yellowstone Art Museum
The Yellowstone Art Museum in downtown Billings, Montana is the largest contemporary art museum in Montana.
==History and mission of the museum==
The Yellowstone Art Center (now the Yellowstone Art Museum, or YAM) opened in October 1964 in the former Yellowstone County Jail. The construction of the county jail in 1884 was the first act of the newly instituted Yellowstone County government. It began as a small red brick structure. The partial basement of the jail functioned as storage, while the upper two floors served as cell blocks. In 1916, the county constructed additions to the west and north. In spite of Montana’s location in the Wild West, only one hanging, in 1918, is known to have taken place at the Yellowstone County Jail.〔http://www.iretapartments.com/Apartment-Rental-Articles/Prisoner-of-art-Exploring-Billings'-Yellowstone-Art-Museum/?ty=BILL&action=showArticle&id=203〕
Operating in a region where the established museums emphasized Western genre art and historic artifacts, staff and volunteer leadership early on defined an alternate, wide-ranging mission. The goal was to develop a collection and programs that acknowledged the rich artistic practice occurring in the present. Today the YAM remains the only visual arts institution within an immense geographic area, which it serves with a very active program of changing exhibitions in the main galleries, adjunct programs for adults, curriculum-based art education, and community events and festivals.〔http://www.artmuseum.org/about/〕 The YAM’s Annual Art Auction, begun in 1969, is the earliest contemporary art auction in a region that now boasts dozens that emulate the YAM.〔http://www.kulr8.com/story/24512680/yellowstone-art-museum-golden-anniversary〕 Summerfair, begun in 1979, was also the region’s first outdoor arts & crafts fair and holds its lead as one of the region’s finest.〔http://billingsgazette.com/calendar/benefit-and-fundraiser/summerfair-arts-and-crafts-festival/event_437184e2-b4ab-11e1-a8ee-001a4bcf887a.html〕
