Community Calendar

Throughout the month of July 2026, in alignment with America’s 250th Anniversary, dozens of community spaces across the country are inviting local audiences to participate in the third annual Better Together Film Festival. The festival aims to shift the culture of the country away from division and hatred, and toward cohesion and hope.

In Billings, Montana, in collaboration with the local nonprofits, resident Abigail Weidmer is hosting a free screening of My Omaha at Grace Pavilion, 24 S 29th St on July 16 at 6:30 p.m.

Set in Omaha, Nebraska — where the legacies of Malcolm X, racial segregation, and political division still shape everyday life — My Omaha follows filmmaker Nick Beaulieu as he documents his city’s racial justice movement while attempting to reconnect with his terminally ill father Randy, a staunch Trump supporter. Watch the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8RV4X59WFg.

Community members are invited to attend the screening event and stick around for the conversation that will inspire strength and spark connections across differences. Please register to attend at https://spark.pluralitymap.com/events/better-together-film-festival-my-omaha.

Livingston’s second annual ArtWeek Park County returns September 19–27 to celebrate the artists who make Park County one of Montana’s most vibrant creative communities. The festival’s signature event, the Big Bend Fine Art Auction, will take place on Saturday, September 26, at the Depot Center with Black & Associates live auctioneers.

The auction will feature original works by a diverse group of regional artists working across a variety of mediums, highlighting the depth of talent found throughout Park County and the surrounding area. From painting and printmaking to sculpture and mixed media, the selected pieces reflect the unique perspectives and creative voices that define the region’s arts community. Preview, register and get tickets for the Big Bend Fine Art Auction at ArtWeekPC.com.

Community members and visitors are invited to see the selected artwork from September 11–25 at ArtWeek’s founding partner galleries in downtown Livingston. Silent auction works will be exhibited and open for bidding at the Livingston Center for Art and Culture, while the Danforth Museum of Art will display the live auction pieces during the same period. The Danforth will also host an Artist Reception on September 11, giving guests an opportunity to meet participating artists and learn more about their work and creative processes.

ArtWeek Park County brings together artists, residents, and visitors for a week of exhibitions, performances, workshops, and community events designed to celebrate and support the arts. Artists, businesses, and organizations from across the region are invited to participate in this year’s festival calendar.
