Help Yellowjacket Art Students Experience Art Where It Lives
Your support can open the door to an artistic journey of a lifetime for Yellowjacket Art students, one that takes learning beyond the classroom and into the heart of the world’s most influential art centers.
This year’s study abroad program immerses students in Italy, beginning in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, and continuing to the cutting edge of contemporary art at the Venice Biennale. Along the way, students connect what they study at MSU Billings with the history, innovation, and cultural dialogue that have shaped art for centuries.
Why This Experience Matters
Standing before masterpieces by Michelangelo and Botticelli, engaging with global artists and curators, and witnessing how art responds to today’s world gives students a perspective that simply can’t be replicated at home. These experiences deepen creative practice, sharpen critical thinking, and help students understand their role as artists in a global community.
Students return to campus inspired—not only to create, but to lead, teach, and share their vision with our region. The impact ripples outward through classrooms, galleries, and community spaces across Montana.
How Your Gift Makes an Impact
Study abroad opportunities can be financially out of reach for many students. Your generosity helps remove barriers and ensures that talent—not circumstance—determines who gets to participate.
