We recently purchased a David Frederick Riley painting from Montana Trails Gallery. This was a…read morevery big investment for us and we had many questions and high expectations. The customer service exceeded our expectations in service, knowledge and professionalism. Sydney Weeks is a phenomenal representative of the gallery and Megan was also very helpful. So impressed were we, that we would go out of our way (we live in NV) to continue purchasing artwork through this gallery, not only for the exceptional artwork they show, but because of their staff. They made us feel very well cared for with their excellence in communication and superior service. We highly recommend doing business with them.

Top notch art gallery with all the ingredients you could hope for in.

It is a real art gallery so the quality of the art and the accompanying prices are primarily for the more affluent buyer. If that doesn't describe you, there is still plenty to enjoy just strolling through and you're always welcome. Be sure to check it out when your in downtown Bozeman.

What a surprise! It is an oasis of fine arts and crafts in the tiny little town of Pray, near…read moreLivingston, Chico Hot Springs and Yellowstone Park. I have to go there every time I come to the area to see what is new! There is something for everyone! The proprietor is a wonderful artist too, but the gallery has an abundance of arts and crafts from the region. From barbed-wire baskets, to Native American flutes to knives to pottery to jewelry to fine art from many of the wildlife and western painters of the West.

Choo-choooooo! Art Aboard! This place is an old railroad…read moredepot, it seems with a train car parked right outside. Inside, is a lovingly converted art gallery, with walls jammed packed with local artists' works in various media. The works range from epic sized paintings, to pottery, to jewelry, to sculpture. There's a lot of talented artists in the area doing mostly paintings of wildlife and landscape scenes. When I went, there were a few patrons browsing, and clerks helping answer any questions. Everything is for sale, and clearly marked with the artists' names, title, and price. The art seems to move in and out through here- it's not a static display. There's no dust on the art frames, anyhow! The gallery is located on the edge of a nice little park with a gazebo and lots of lush grass across the street from the supermarket. It's a perfect place to have a picnic and check out some local culture.

My favorite place for art in the area. Lots of Montana artists. Tons of originals. Prints and…read morejewelry as well. Prices are really decent for original oils, watercolors, etc. So I my fav painting is that Tom Wolfe with the rustic frame. Buy now? Or when I get back in December? Hmmmm? Either way, hands off people! The frames on the art were custom overall. A nice touch to pieces. I also liked the Elliot Eaton stuff. Notable mentions: carol hagan small originals and a super tiny Kevin Red Star (Roberts Local). And Mary Blain too! Lots of good stuff by people I'm not familiar with. Wildlife, landscapes, and some cool abstracts. (Wish I knew all the names) Oh yeah Dolly Frerichs Stuber. Nice watercolor! Enough with the rambling. Go check it out yourself. Great place!

Wow. There are antique stores with more than you can absorb, mostly of the junky stuff, and then…read morethere are places like this: an antique store with what might be a specifically curated stash of things old, but still in good shape and still useful. Of course, there are still some campy items, but when they're strategically placed and don't become the rule, it makes for an interesting place of exploration. I was for some reason, drawn to all the cast iron pans -- all old, probably seasoned from years of use in nearby ranches and farms. I'm sure they each had a story. Getting the story was the challenge, though. And if a story is what you want, the owners have them, if you have patience. Like some small towns, there's a certain reticence with out of towners. That's easily overcome by either ignoring it, or facing it head on with asking lots of questions. Interest or money or sometimes both, talks -- everywhere. Stop in. Enjoy the nice antiques, and be sure to get the story that goes with them. It'll be worth it.

Neat selection of antiques. Friendly husband and wife team. Look for goodies and stay for stories!read more
