ATTENTION:: ALL ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, EXHIBITORS AT MONTANA FAIR!!

(These changes affect Home and Heritage Arts and Youth Art Exhibits as well so come and voice your concerns as well)

THIS IS FROM THE BILLINGS CAMERA CLUB:
Mana Lesman, an artist, has requested an agenda item with the County Commissioners to discuss the way that art has been treated at Montana Fair, i.e. changing the location and limiting the number of artists who can show their work.
I know several in the club have voiced concerns about this change and may be interested in attending this meeting in support of Mana and art in the Montana Fair.

There would also be an opportunity for anyone who attends (virtually or in person) to speak directly to the Commissioners.
The meeting will be:

Thursday, JUNE 11, at 9 a.m.
Commissioners Conference Room (308)
located in the Ostlund Building @ 2825 3rd Ave N (3rd Floor)
If you haven’t been there recently, the Ostlund building is just past the Alberta Bair. Go the county website to get the address for on-line attendance.

PLEASE SHOW UP!!
