INFORMATION

From the inside, circa 1910 concrete vaults of the WaterWorks Galleries give the Custer County Art & Heritage Center the look of a contemporary urban exhibition space.  Located in the southeast corner of Montana, Miles City, with a population of under 10,000 citizens, is anything but urban. 

The Art Center opened in 1977 after 7,000 square feet was renovated for exhibitions and education programs.  Additional renovation is currently taking place  to accommodate growth.

As a cultural leader in southeastern Montana, the Art Center is a nonprofit organization guided by philosophy of public service.  Our mission is to provide, free of charge, high quality, interpretative exhibits in the visual arts and humanities; educational opportunities and informational services for the general public, schools and civic groups; and proper management of and accessibility to exhibited visual artworks, including the Art Center's permanent collection, held in public trust.
