The Wachholz College center will screen the Flathead Valley premier of “Bring Them Home” on Thursday August 29th at 5:00 pm. Oscar-nominated Blackfeet and Nez Perce actor Lily Gladstone narrates the film and hip-hop artist Supaman shares a special live performance. “Bring Them Home” tells the story of a small group of Blackfeet people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near extinction a century ago. This is a not-to-miss event!

The Conrad Mansion Museum hosts an Historical Clothing Tour on Thursday August 29th at 5:30 pm. This year’s tour focuses on Embellishment: The Decorated Dress as fashion historian Teresa Knutson schools you on nineteenth and twentieth century fashion. Any opportunity to visit the Conrad Mansion is a good day in my book and it’s a real treat to see their special collections and learn more about the Conrad family and their lives in a young Kalispell.

Once again, the Hockaday Museum is hosting their Plein Air Glacier event. This last week of August you may come across artists painting outdoors in Glacier National Park. Artists travel from near and far to show off their talents and support the Hockaday Museum.

If you can’t make the opening reception, all works from Plein Air Glacier will be on display at the Hockaday Museum through October 5th.
