Mission & Goals of the W

Our ultimate mission for the W is to amplify community through accessible arts experiences for all, supporting creative, energizing environments that encourage visitors to get involved with opportunities that lead them to create, explore, and interact to build a stronger, more connected community.

  • Facilitate creativity in every aspect
  • Pursue outreach relationships and provide service to all communities
  • Integrate intersectional diverse voices
  • Provide a space for community, autonomy, and collaboration
  • Address our awareness of what is happening in the world and community and support the processing of those topics and issues. 

About:

The E. L. Wiegand Creativity Center at the Holter Museum is a new arts hub for the Helena community, providing more innovative arts learning experiences, interactive events, and community-based exhibits to ignite creativity in our community and make the arts accessible to everyone.

What is the W?

With a community stage, flexible event & learning space, and readily available art supplies & technology, the W provides:

  • More opportunities for arts programs for all ages, including school
    children at partnering schools and afterschool programs for middle and high school aged students
  • More event offerings for community members of all ages with monthly and weekly evening events
  • A community gallery to showcase work from local groups and organizations or up-and-coming artists
  • Event rental space for the Helena community
  • Opportunities for the Holter to make intentional partnerships with organizations such as West Mont, MT veterans, and Gentle Healing & Wellness Center

 With the W, the Holter can expand our arts programming through the incorporation of new monthly specialty workshops, more afterschool programs for area youth, and the addition of a digital arts media lab that
teaches Photoshop, graphic design, InDesign, and so much more!
