St Patrick's Hospital Art Exhibit Of Pastel Paintings By Pat Meras

"Dancing In The Vineyard"

(from Ten Spoon Winery)

I'm grateful to St Pat's for the opportunity to display 19 paintings

in the exhibit space that connects the Hospital to the Broadway Building.

500 W Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802, Open 24/7

These are mostly landscapes of NW scenes from WA and MT.

They will hang from Jan 2 through March 31, 2026.

l'd love for you to view the show when you're nearby.

The easiest way to get there is to park in their free parking garage on

the west side, take the elevator to 3rd foor, take a RT and

continue straight, where you will come to the exhibition space.

I'm so pleased to be back in Montana where I grew up. I'm a graduate

of MSU School of Art in Bozeman and after 43 years away in WA

it feels like I'm back home where I belong.

10TH ANNUAL DANA GALLERY PAINT OUT & EXHIBITION

I'm very pleased and excited to be represented by this fine gallery in my home state.

"Twenty established artists from around the country come to Missoula, Montana and the surrounding area to paint en plein air, French for "in the open air."  They take on challenges of working in changing elements: heat, shifting light and moving subjects.  Plein air artists follow in the footsteps of the French impressionistsfrom the late 1800's and the American artists from the coast and southwest who followed the railroads west, painting scenes that informed the nation of Western grandeur in the 1900's.   The Dana Gallery is proud to continue the tradition of plein air work through holding this annual event.  The plein air work, as well as studio work from each artist, will hang in the gallery from July 12th-Aug 31st."  Dana Gallery
