MoFAB:


Museum of Fine Arts Butte

The MOFAB building offers broad opportunities for the local art community by providing a place for local and regional artists to work. Artists rent private art studios on the third and fourth floors. Many projects have begun that include the installation of a new community ceramic studio. A community mural project was initiated on May 4, 2006 at the Arts and Heritage Revival during that free art day. Summer Art Tours are being arranged city wide for visiting tourists.
