The Billings Symphony welcomes George Kelting Ceramics to the December ArtWalk. Join the holiday festivities with carolers and a flute choir.
ARTIST ON DISPLAY
George Kelting is a talented ceramic artist and potter based in Billings, Montana, where he resides with his dog, Blue II. Specializing in porcelain, George meticulously crafts each piece to push the boundaries of throwing, trimming, and glazing, resulting in handcrafted pottery that feels remarkably light. Each creation is unique yet harmoniously aligned with the rest, resembling patterns found in nature. In addition to his artistry, George enjoys spending his time as a part-time gardener and fly fisherman.
WHAT IS THE ARTWALK?
ArtWalk Downtown Billings began nearly three decades ago, in 1994, when a group of visionary folks created a recurring event to highlight the ever-growing community of artists and art galleries in downtown Billings. ArtWalk began its 29th Season in February 2023. Events will be held this year on the first Fridays of February, April, June, August, October and December 2023 and are scheduled between 5 and 9 p.m.
All ArtWalk events are free. The events are organized and paid for by Season Members, One-Time Participants and generous Sponsors. Look for the ArtWalk signs as they designate ArtWalk locations. Artists frequently attend. Food and beverages are often served and live music is offered at various locations.
In addition to the many fine arts and fine crafts offered for sale, ArtWalk often includes opportunities to make art, family activities, gallery talks, dance, live street theatre and interactive events. Hosts include galleries, art studios, businesses, a downtown Billings church, non-profit entities, professional offices and other locations that value the creative spirit that thrives in downtown Billings.
ArtWalk is “weather-resistant.” We don’t cancel our events for rain, thunder or hailstorms in the summer. Nor do we cancel if there are blizzards and below zero temperatures in the winter.
