Livingston galleries satisfy all tastes Livingston’s fine galleries have earned the city the reputation of “The Heart of Art in Montana.” This small Western town with a laid-back atmosphere is home to a diverse array of artists, and the source of exceptional art. Livingston boasts several galleries and museums and has earned recognition as a regional art center. Many of the local galleries have joined together to form the Livingston Gallery Association, which organizes the popular summer Art Walks the entire community and visitors enjoy. During these events each gallery introduces new exhibits by holding a public reception for the artists. These Friday night Art Walks take on a block party appearance and often last into the evening. Livingston Art Walks are traditionally scheduled for the fourth Fridays of the months on June, July, August, and September, and a Holiday Art Walk on the third Friday of November. Most of the galleries are downtown within walking distance of each other.
