Electric Peak Arts Council

We're Electric Peak Arts Council (EPAC!) You can find us making arts and culture happen for the people who live here at places and venues such as: The Gardiner Public School, Gardiner Community Center, Mammoth Chapel, Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, local businesses and art studios, Arch Park, and in the hearts of art appreciators and artists in Gardiner, MT and Mammoth, WY!

The mission of the Electric Peak Arts Council is to foster the appreciation of art in people of all ages and to culturally enrich the rural communities near the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park through performing and visual arts. For the past 24 years, the Electric Peak Arts Council has provided a diverse offering of high quality arts-based entertainment and educational opportunities for locals in the Gardiner, MT and Mammoth, WY communities. 

Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2025 season a great success: from the participants to the talent to the volunteer board and donors- 2025 included our organization putting on or helping to host: 

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, Opera Montana "Wheels of Harmony", Handbuilding Workshop (clay) with Quinn Harrison, Daniel Kosel & Madrona Road featuring country swing dance lessons after the Gardiner Holiday Stroll, the Gardiner/Mammoth Community Band, Winter Wildlife Photography Workshop Tour with Kyle Moon, Baroque Music Montana "Gentle Plucks: Bach and Beyond", "Guardians of Yellowstone" film screening with The Yellowstone Cougar Project (Yellowstone Forever and fSTOP Foundation), Robin Layne and the Rhythm Makers, and Missoula Children's Theatre!

Your donation for the 2026 season ensures a continuing calendar of arts opportunities! This is our biggest fundraiser and the bulk of our operating budget (so don't hold back!) We bring these wonderful events to you and could use your help.

We believe EPAC serves an important purpose; our art based programs are enriching and boost morale in the long winter months as well as bring people together for a deeper sense of community. We provide a full season of family-friendly entertainment and educational workshops that are not currently being offered by any other organization in our rural area. School workshops, provided in conjunction with most of our art events, ensure that local students can participate in additional arts opportunities despite school limitations and our rural setting. We also offer a scholarship program to graduating seniors! We aim to continue hosting community art classes, providing small grants for similarly aligned local projects, purchasing music for the community band, providing funding for art supplies at the school, and assisting students in attending education programs (among so many other things!) Let's make arts happen here!
