Community enrichment:the zacc organizes and carries out several Community enrichment events throughout the year. In addition to our many class offerings, first friday events, performances, gatherings and guest speakers which take place in various parts of our facility under several different program umbrellas, our last best print fest, missoula monster project and holiday open house events all attract a very large number of Community members for participation. The three aforementioned events alone allow us to collaborate with more than 300 artists, and each event brings in approximately 500 attendees with the missoula monster project bringing in closer to 1,000 viewers/community participants.
