Arts and Entertainment

Livingston is often referred to as "The Heart of Art in Montana," and with good reason. With over 14 galleries showing a variety of art, and dozens of artists living here, Livingston has built a solid cultural reputation to match its legendary status as a recreational destination. Livingston holds Art Walks throughout the summer and into the fall. It also boasts two live theaters with productions of comedy, drama, and musicals throughout the year. Livingston also has great venues for live music, including the nearby Pine Creek Cafe with outdoor BBQ concerts throughout the summer. Three fine museums round out the picture.
