I’ll be doing a live broadcast interview this Thursday on KBGA with artist Angela Babby. I’m the host of Tribal Scene Radio and this week, we’ll be set up at the Missoula Art Museum. For more information, join the Tribal Scene Facebook page. Join us at the MAM Sept. 16 for Artini, that’s the one day out of the month where the museum produces one of Missoula’s biggest social scenes. This month, Babby will be in the limelight with her gallery work. I went over to the MAM this week and had a sneak preview of Babby’s show. I’ve seen a lot of artists’ work and I can say, I’ve never seen anyone create art like Babby. She does spectacular paintings on stained glass, absolute masterpieces.
