Reasons that we are Thankful...

As we approach Thanksgiving this week and the launch into the Holiday and Christmas season we wanted to take a moment to list a few reasons of why we are thankful.

Our artist community:
Being part of an artist co-op affords us unique opportunities to learn and grow not only our creative work but our ability to reach out to customers and participate in events difficult to navigate as individual artists. We value and celebrate each other's artwork and achievements and enjoy the benefits of having our own gallery within Paint Metal and Mud.

This year we are also thankful that we have two new artists to welcome into our co-op! We would like to welcome Philip from Philip Granrud Photography and Judy Petterson. Both work in photography but in completely different ways! We hope you'll stop by the check out their work (and be sure to like and follow Philip's page on facebook if you enjoy having beautiful images show up on your computer screen!

 

The beauty that surrounds us daily.
We are so fortunate to live in the Flathead Valley and be reminded everywhere we turn just how precious our natural resources are. We are thankful that more and more people are seeing the value in celebrating these vistas and being able to share them with travelers when they come to visit. (As well as the art that reminds them of their trip when it's time to return home.)

And last, but certainly not least--we are thankful for YOU!
Thank you for your patronage, your support, your conversations about your homes and travels, your enjoyment of our work and for sharing our art with those you love.

We will be offering sales and specials through-out the holiday season and we hope that you'll come by and enjoy some wonderful and tasty goodies with us during the December art walk (December 1st!) as well as during our '12 Artists of Christmas' specials leading up toward Dec 25th.

First Friday Art Walk and Special Artist Reception

Please join us for a open house and refreshments 

plus a 20% discount on Lois' Original Watercolors!

Date: Friday November 3rd from 4-8

That night we will also be doing our Find It WIN! Scavenger hunt!  This month we are inviting customers to find WALDO and enter a drawing for a gift certificate! There will be two winners this month. The first prize is a $60 gift certificate and second prize is a $30 gift certificate to spend at your favorite participating business! All ages are welcome to play! Just look for the 1st Friday Find it WIN banners as you wander Downtown Kalispell to play!

Call for Local Artists!

We are currently looking for a local artist interested in showing their work year round in our art gallery collective located in downtown Kalispell. Interested artists should submit either photos, an example of their work, webpage address and contact information to be considered for the jury in process. As we strive to have a good balance and blend of different art available in the gallery we are not accepting jewelry artists at this time. 

The gallery takes no commission from your sales! Instead, member artists are required to work 2 to 3 days a month showing and selling art in the gallery as well as pay rent for your space. (Currently $50 a month). We also meet once a month to go over business, advertising opportunities and to plan special events. 

Paint Metal & Mud is a cooperative that features twelve of the Flathead Valley's finest artists. The gallery is located in downtown Kalispell, in the heart of northwest Montana.

PM&M is northwest Montana's only art gallery that is managed entirely by local artists -- not by some salesman. Stop in often and meet the artists, and learn about art from the people who created it! We are located in the historic Kalispell Grand Hotel, just half a block off Main Street.

Share Some Love! (and art!)

We have a lot of love to share at Paint Metal & Mud. 

Love of our beautiful state of Montana. 

Love of treasured natural vistas clean air and water. 

Love for the support of our community (both local and global) 

and of course love of fine art!

We hope that you'll come in to enjoy some of this love with us. 

If you're in town tonight, stop by between 5 and 7pm 

and you'll get to sample some 'lovely' little hand made chocolate pecan hearts 

as we celebrate the Chocolate Affair in downtown Kalispell. 

Visit a number of our neighbor businesses tonight too and you 

can enter to win a gift certificate to use at a number of

great stores (including Paint Metal & Mud!)

What's not to love?
