ART | TIPPET RISE
Set on a 12,500-acre working sheep and cattle ranch, Tippet Rise Art Center is located in Fishtail, Montana against the backdrop of the Beartooth Mountains, roughly midway between Billings and Bozeman and just north of Yellowstone National Park. Tippet Rise is anchored in the belief that art, music, architecture, and nature are intrinsic to the human experience, each making the others more powerful.
Tippet Rise is a metaphor. In which, the linguistic process through which identities and essences are interwoven. It can also be a physical transmigration, where the unearthly light of Montana storms is absorbed by the audience, by the musicians, as they play under the large dolmen of the Domo, the structure of landscape devised by Ensamble Studio of Madrid and MIT to act as a wormhole through which music and sculpture could enter into the spirit of the land.
Cathy and Peter Halstead found Tippet Rise. They both grew up in families that for generations have sought to bring art and education to communities both in the United States and abroad.
