Well all good things must come to an end, again. While we are all saddened by the news we received today, we know there is always a rainbow after the storm.

We are sorry that the full story is not ours to tell. We wish to respect the owners.

Because of unforeseen circumstances we have to remove the panels our that our beautiful community and Gilded Gals have spent 10 months painting for our community improvement project.

Here is the rainbow. We are actively working on re-imagining, and re-homing these beautiful paintings. As soon as we know anything we will let you know.

What we do know is…… We are sooo proud of our Sunday artists and we are grateful for all the donations and support that helped us complete this project.

Know that our history and art will not be lost, just re-homed to tell our story.

Thank you to all those that helped us remove the 1st floor, 3rd floor will be done later this week. And Thank you to the Montana Agricultural Museum for storing and keeping our art safe.

And all good things must come to an end, as they say. So proud of our Gilded Gals with getting this last panel done. We only have 3 to clear coat and get the remaining hung. But the Choteau House Project is coming to its close.

These ladies have shown up every Sunday for the past 10 months. We are so amazed with their dedication to our community.

Wish we could have gotten a picture of all of them.
