Great Falls’ annual, international art event, Western Art Week (WAW), came to a close after three exhilarating auctions by the Russell Museum, Ad Club and March and Montana, grossing around $3.7 million. March and Montana at Town House Inn made a strong showing with total gross sales of $1,473,167, up from $1.4 million in 2009. “They did a great job”, Bob Nelson, owner of Manitou gallery, said of Ad Club and March and Montana’s participation. Although March and Montana was not able to surpass their record $2.4 million in 2008, the improvement this year defies an unstable economy.
