The phantom galleries return for the next Uptown Butte Art Walk. The Uptown Art Walk will fill Uptown streets again from 5 pm to 9 pm on July 8th.

Many Uptown stores and restaurants will join in the event and stay open on that evening for the shopping convenience of their customers and to add to the festivities.

Uptown Butte's regular art galleries will remain open for the evening with special shows and receptions for their patrons. These galleries included the MoFAB (405 W. Park St.), the Venus Rising Espresso (1 S. Main St.), Main Stope Gallery (45 W. Park St.) Phoenix Gallery (66 W. Park St.), Martha Cooney Studio (8 W. Park St.) and the Uptown Cafe (47 E. Broadway).

Clark Chateau Museum, 321 W.Broadway: Nolan Salix, “Manufactured Prospects” paintings;  William Stanisich, “Night Vision”  Watercolor. Salix’s paintings capture the beauty of the landscape as the light baths across the forms that were created by industry.His paintings hold the acidic, toxic quality left after the process of extraction.Our desire for beautiful gold and conductive copper leaves behind toxic remains in the landscape. This dualistic nature of beauty and toxicity found in these industrial landscapes represent the complicated contradictions oflife, as seen by Salix. Currently Salix’s work is concerned with the industrial landscapes of the west.
