Latigo & Lace

Latigo & Lace is an art gallery and museum on Main Street in Augusta, Montana, showcasing works by regional artists. The collection features antler carvings, photographs, ceramics, handwoven rugs, baskets, quilts, and Native American beadwork displayed in a western-style building.

The building was founded to preserve Montana's artistic traditions and serves as a cultural landmark for travelers between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. Its location on Highway 287 made it an important stop for art-minded visitors passing through the region.

The name reflects Montana's western heritage, which shows throughout the displayed handcrafted items and leather goods made by local artisans. You can see how residents and artists blend everyday craft traditions with fine art in their work.

The gallery is open from March through December, with extended hours during peak season from May to December. Visitors should arrive early in the day to explore the collections at a comfortable pace, and the warmer months offer the best access to all exhibitions and the adjacent cappuccino bar.

The space includes an attached cappuccino bar where visitors enjoy local beverages while browsing artworks, jewelry, and handcrafted leather items. This unexpected combination of cafe and gallery creates a relaxed setting that is less common in regional art venues.
