Belgrade art teachers welcome students, teachers
to the Montana
Art Invitational

Hello,
Art Teachers of Montana!
This April 29-March 1, come join us here in beautiful Belgrade, Montana, for our annual Montana Art Invitational (MAI).
What is MAI exactly? Well, my friends, it's an amazing opportunity for your students to experience art outside of the classroom.
It includes classes showcasing local artists who are excited to share their techniques, a look at what it is like to go to art school here at MSU, and fun games to get to know our awesome Montana art community.
Students will be housed over the weekend here at Belgrade High School, meals provided, with a small fee of $35 to cover costs of materials.
Our Covid-19 policy reflects our district's decision to strongly recommend masks.
Please consider this opportunity. As a fellow art teacher, we all know the power of creative communities. Let us help facilitate the future of Montana.
-Belgrade Art Department
