Show up and throw down
On a cold Wednesday night, when only streetlamps light the empty foggy roads, you may hear the faint bass from a speaker under the Beartracks Bridge. If you look closer, a pair of dancers throw down shimmies and “star walks” to rap music while no one is watching.

The price of the past: Missoula’s dispute over a Native American war shirt
A growing Missoula coalition is calling for the repatriation of a purported sacred Lakota Sioux war shirt from Missoula’s Origin Gallery, which removed the item from its window display in early October after facing criticism from community members. It is currently still listed for sale at $35,000 on Origin Gallery’s website.

Students react to art school name change
The School of Art and Game Design changed names from the School of Visual and Media Arts this year, and some art students have complaints. According to Steven Krutek, the school’s director, the School of Visual and Media Arts had been the name since 2019. In addition to the new name, Krutek said graduate students will be seeing other changes. The graduate critique and pedagogy courses are no longer separated between art students and game design students, creating more interaction between the disciplines. Fine arts graduate students are also expected to present to tenured faculty at the midway point of their degree, but game design graduate students haven’t had that requirement because their creation process is different. That may change with the new integration, but Krutek said they are not sure if or how the requirements could differ.
