The Virginia City Arts Quick Finish is a signature event taking place right in the heart of the inaugural three-day Virginia City Arts Show, September 18–20, 2026, in historic Virginia City, Montana.

The weekend brings together 12 Montana artists for three days celebrating original art, creativity and connection. Festivities begin Friday with an Opening Reception & Gala from 5–9 PM. The Arts Show continues Saturday from 11 AM–9 PM and Sunday from 11 AM–4 PM, giving visitors opportunities to explore original artwork, meet participating artists and purchase pieces throughout the weekend.

On Saturday, September 19 at 6 PM, the show shifts into the Quick Finish, an interactive evening centered around the creative process. Guests can watch participating artists work live as they put the finishing touches on original pieces while enjoying cocktails, artisan refreshments and conversation with the artists.

Once the works are complete, Quick Finish guests will be among the first to view and purchase the newly finished pieces.

Set against the extraordinary backdrop of historic Virginia City, the Quick Finish offers a lively centerpiece to an entire weekend devoted to Montana art and the people who create it.
