Collections:

The Butte Silver Bow Arts Foundation (BSBAF) maintains historic collections ranging from period clothing, antique dolls, heritage furniture, plates, historic art, gallery art pieces, historic photographs, and heritage kimonos. These collections have been generously donated by local and regional supporters of the arts and the Charles W. Clark Chateau Museum. Some of these collections have been procured for special exhibitions.

BSBAF exhibits these collections at three locations:

• The Charles W. Clark Chateau Museum Collections (The Arts Chateau Museum)

• The Butte Silver Bow Arts Center Collections

• The Butte Silver Bow Arts Foundation Collections (located at the old Uptown YMCA building)

BSBAF plans to exhibit portions of Senator’s William A. Clark art collection owned by the Corcoran Museum in Washington D.C. on tour beginning in 2009 in our world-class Art Museum at the old historic YMCA building.
