History
The Artists Shop began as a seasonal holiday shop, open for two months each year before Christmas. There were about 12 artists each year who found a space available in Missoula and worked cooperatively together to make the Missoula Artists' Christmas Shop a festive place that worked well for everyone. Our customers sought us out each year as we moved from place to place. A few years into this, we were offered a storefront for 8 months a year, from May through December. It was a big step, but we decided to give it a try. We brought in the work of many other local artists and the shop was a success. A few years later we took our next big step and opened The Artists Shop year round in downtown Missoula. We have been very happy to be a part of this thriving and exciting downtown, and look forward to many more years of working together and providing Missoula with gifts, fine art, and fine craft from local artists.
