Missoula Art Museum Gala 2026: Fan the Flame Formal & Benefit Art Auction at University Center Ballroom

Get ready—Missoula’s hottest night of the year is back! This year’s Benefit Art Auction promises to Fan the Flame with a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and the next bold chapter of MAM.

Join us on February 7, 2026, for an unforgettable evening filled with inspiring artwork, spirited bidding, dazzling company, and plenty of sparkle. Every paddle raise and every bid fuels MAM’s mission to keep contemporary art glowing brightly in Missoula and beyond.

Together, we’ll turn up the energy, ignite our shared passion for the arts, and raise our glasses—and paddles—in celebration of creativity that burns bright all year long.

Help MAM continue to offer free admission and programming by participating in our auction or by making a donation. The silent auction will close the night of the main event, February 7.
