ART VENUES The 2011 season's final art walk, will be held from 5 to 9 pm on Thursday, October 6th. Te event is dedicated to Donald S. Cooney, a photographer and member of Main Stope Gallery who captured the vitality and spirit of Butte through his lens these past many years before his passing in September. He is an inspiration to succeeding generations of budding photographers who share his fondness for The Copper City. In honor of Donald, several of the venues at the October Art Walk will display examples of his fine work. As for the "feature artists" for October, graduate students of Montana State University's Melvin Graduate School of Art will showcase their talents at US Bank, Park and Main, in Uptown Butte on the 6th and throughout the month. On the night of the art walk, US Bank will host a reception at which snacks and refreshments will be served. The event's entertainment will be provided by Marko Hayden playing guitar in a variety of styles. At several other venues along the art walk path, music and light snacks will be available.
