Frame of Mind Presents the Art from Gavin McClure
Frame of Mind
1706 Brooks St
Missoula, Montana
About the Artist
The work of Gavin McClure focuses on the spectrum of disintegration. They are snapshots in the flux between form and chaos. As moments in time when form distills out of chaos or disintegrates back into it, the work highlights the ability of the individual to visually hold together an image or disintegrate it into constituent pieces.
Gavin McClure is a self-taught artist, who developed the style of disintegration over years studying Eastern Philosophy and Chinese Medicine. His work has been displayed in Montana, Oregon, Los Angeles and New York City. In addition to producing artwork, Gavin practices acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in Missoula, MT. More of his work can be viewed at: www.gavinmcclure.com

Tracy Hall Art Opening
Zootown Arts Community Center 501(c)(3)
216 W Main
Missoula, Montana
The ZACC is thrilled to host an In-Progress Series by Tracy Hall in our Blackfoot Gallery for the month of July, with an opening reception on August 7, 2020, from 5 to 8 PM. (Please note that this event was postponed from the original date of July 10 due to extenuating circumstances).
Tracy Hall is a Missoula, MT artist and writer whose work deals with daily emotional processes through natural phenomena and mythology. Her current series, Binding, utilizes drawing, embroidery, garment construction, and bookmaking to explore different perspectives of what it means to be bound, whether in obligation, under duress, or as an affirmative choice.
Binding is an in-progress series of pieces centered around human interaction with nature and the ways wilderness can feel at turns threatening or benign. It mainly features work with ballpoint pen and embroidery. The pieces explore different ideas of ‘binding,’ such as constriction, mutual contract, and holding things together with thread. In several of the pieces, Tracy focused on a common theme of binding flowers or branches to animals’ legs or disembodied human hands. These instances of binding are up for interpretation—as ritual acts, they might be positive, suggesting commitment or sacredness, or they might limit and stifle.
Max capacity will be capped at 30, and we will have a counter at the door. Face coverings are required as per ZACC policy. Support local art in a safe way, and come see this incredible show!

Missoula MT 59802
Ten Spoon is OPEN and ready for you to come enjoy some superb wines and live music! Here’s how to work this: Go support a local restaurant by ordering take-out, and the bring your meal and some friends to this wonderful venue and enjoy the beauty of the lower Rattlesnake. Dig it!
All music performances this summer will be held OUTDOORS to allow for a safe environment for all of us during these challenging times. Seating will be limited to maintain social distancing, and a small $5.00 entry fee is in place to defray some of the additional costs encountered to keep us all safe.
This is an absolutely stunning outdoor venue, with acres of space, a beautifully maintained landscape (with vineyard), and it is especially kid friendly.
“As is my tradition, I’ll be concocting some tasty original instrumentals, some created “on the spur of the moment,” plus will deliver plenty of our very favorite tunes spanning five decades and a half dozen genres. Tasty guitar playing, looping pedal, heartfelt vocals with harmony pedal, a great venue, and you! See ya there? Cheers,” – EDJ
