Great Falls Becomes Western Art Capital

The month of March turns Great Falls, Montana into an art mecca. The C. M. Russell Art Auction is the oldest show in town but others have created their own niche.  The Great Falls Native American Art Show March 13 – 16, 2008 will feature over 35 Native American artists. The show is held downtown at the Great Falls Civic Center. http://www.russell.visitmt.com/listings/12428.htm
