NILE Foundation Art Show Moved to Stillwater Room
Billings, MT--The brand new NILE Foundation Art Show moved locations due to space limitations. Previously the Art Show was scheduled to be held in the Skybox Reception area of the Rimrock Auto Arena. It has now been moved to the Stillwater room in the lower level of Rimrock Auto Arena. 

Due to some of the art pieces' sizes and for improved access the organizers decided to move the Art Show. Public can access the Stillwater room by walking through the NILE Trading Post area and going being the timed-event chutes, or by descending the elevator to the lower level of the Metra. Complimentary drink tickets will be offered from the NILE Hospitality Room. 

 Local, western artists will have various pieces on display for the public to view each evening before the rodeos, October 15, and 20-22. This event was added in an effort to grow the number and dollar amount of scholarships given by the NILE Foundation.

Bronzes, paintings and other pieces of art can be viewed while enjoying a complimentary beverage before the rodeo starts. The artwork may be purchased during these times and a percentage of the proceeds benefit the NILE Foundation  scholarships.

Pieces on display from these artists:
Tracy Linder
Dawn Ness
John Hull
Bob Burkhart
Jerry David Cornelia
Gordon McConnell
Mary Michael
and bronzes by Bill Rains from the Eldon & JoAnn Kuhns Collection
