YAM Education LOT 57
We provide high-quality, museum-based art education to students of all ages in Billings and the surrounding region. The YAM education team develops its own art curriculum, aligned with MT state art education standards for our K–12 students. Every lesson is inspired by works from our permanent collection or current temporary exhibitions. Each year the YAM’s Young Artists’ Gallery features exhibitions from each of our eight long-standing partnerships with schools. We also work with local professional teaching artists to bring a wide variety of techniques and mediums to our adult learners.
Our goal is to be sure that our art education programs are accessible to all through low-cost, free programming, and scholarships. With your help we can ensure that art and art education is available to everyone!

Welcome!
Dear Friends of the Yellowstone Art Museum,
We are incredibly excited to welcome you to the 57th Annual Art Auction! Our community of artists, donors, sponsors, art enthusiasts, and volunteers, along with the Board of Trustees and staff, rallies to host this fundraiser and its accompanying events. It is truly a team effort, and we are thrilled to see everyone’s work coalesce for this month-long celebration.
Each year, the Art Auction raises crucial support for our museum’s education programs and exhibitions. We are grateful that this season provides ample opportunities to recognize artists, come together as YAM supporters, and inspire upcoming generations of creatives.
Our month of auction programming starts on Friday, February 7th. This evening, we will welcome contributing artists, families & friends, and everyone who wishes to support the auction and museum. During this opening celebration, we will provide a first look at the artworks featured in our live and silent auctions, enjoy a few bites & beverages, and revel in great company. And that’s just the beginning!
Throughout the month of February, you can look forward to Artist Talks with Manette Rene Bradford, Elizabeth Korth, and Mya Cluff. Education events, for adult learners and the whole family, are sure to inspire as Jennette Rasch, Maggy Rozycki Hiltner, and Michelle Dyk lead workshops detailing their own creative processes. We’re humbled that these artists graciously give their time to engage with museum goers.
The Night, Gala & Live Auction, will end the auction on a high note! On March 8th, we’ll gather once again to place final bids, dine together, and exemplify a message we can all stand behind: the arts are terrifically supported in Billings and Montana. You don’t want to miss this special evening!
Artists, thank you for contributing your talent, time, and passion. We couldn’t do this without you! Your commitment to our community and museum is heartwarming, and we’re proud to be your collaborators and fans.
This year’s charitable sponsors deserve our collective appreciation, too. Their support for this event and the museum allows us to continually craft enriching events, education programs, and exhibitions. Thank you for championing the YAM!
Thank you for joining us during the Art Auction! Bid often, bid high, and bid knowing your generosity will be paid forward! We’ll see you in the galleries. Cheers!
