Follow us on Facebook at @PGSMOA.

Your Friend, Ranger Doug is proudly presented for the first time in exhibition format at Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art from June 3, 2022 through October 5, 2022. This insightful, touching, and informative film is a short documentary made by Celine Francois, Claire Jantzen, Kayla Borkovec, Lexi Johnson, and Sara Nell through Chapman University. In the film, “A 93-year-old Glacier National Park ranger confronts the decline of the park he calls home as he reflects on his life and the legacy he will leave behind.” When viewed in relationship to the diverse art exhibitions at the museum this summer, the film coincides with a concern and extended effort by the museum to provide a thoughtful and critical understanding of the people we know, and the place we call home in Montana. Providing experiences that promote cross-cultural and cross-generational connections, that bring us together to build a creative and enlightened future.

The exhibition and programing for Your Friend, Ranger Doug is organized by Nicole Maria Evans, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art. Exhibitions presented by The Square are supported in part by the Montana Arts Council a state agency funded by the State of Montana, Humanities Montana, National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor, and National Endowment for the Arts.
