5-9 PM

Billings Symphony Office

2820 2nd Ave N

FREE and open to the public

Featured Artist: Whitney Kimpton
Featured Music: Billings Symphony Chorale caroling musicians

Whitney Kimpton is showing her recent work exploring realism, form, and color-abstraction, centered around the individualism of her main subject matter: birds, wildlife, and horses. Additionally, the Billings Symphony will feature its Symphony Chorale musicians from 6:00-8:00 PM performing holiday carols.

Featured Artist

Whitney Kimpton will be our featured artists.

Born in south-central Montana, she centralizes her work around a coalescence of influences. Horses, and at rare times, other animals, provide the life and the carriers of a thought; math hearkens to the concise and historical nature of measurements and tradition. The form of the environment, land, and plants give shape within each piece of work, and lines and colors speak to the process found in geological time: erosion, compaction, and layers.

Our featured musicians will be from the Billings Symphony Chorale. They'll bring their beautiful harmonies together for some classic holiday carols.

What's cool about the event?

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.
