The Hockaday Museum presents its annual exhibition A Timeless Legacy in Montana.

Now open at the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, Montana, is A Timeless Legacy, the museum’s annual celebration of Glacier National Park and the artists who create within its boundaries. This year’s show is the eighth edition and comes with a new theme attached to the show title: A Timeless Legacy: Artists of Glacier, Past and Present.
