Clock exhibit on display at museum
A variety of ticks and tocks will be
heard from the Bigfork Museum of Art and History this month as it
opens “It’s About Time: A Timely Fundraiser.”
For the exhibit, local artists have
been asked to create a clock for display and sale at the
museum.
“These are one-of-a-kind clocks,”
director Marnie Forbis said. “There are no clocks like that
anywhere else in the world.”
The clocks are of all shapes, sizes,
media and designs. All are for sale, with prices listed.
Forbis said the non-profit museum that
runs mostly on membership fees and donation sought to do a
fundraiser in March, and the idea for the clocks seemed like a good
fit.
“We thought it would be a way to blast
off fundraising and our membership drive,” she said. “We strive to
come up with new and exciting ways to raise funds to sustain the
museum.”
Memberships also support ongoing
efforts to keep the museum up and running, Forbis said.
Members receive discounts at the gift
shop and gallery, an annual newsletter and eligibility in the
members-only show.
The show opens with a reception from 5
p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, March 4, where one of the clocks will be
raffled off. The exhibit will be up through March 26.
The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
