Abstract The post-Second World War craft revival in Montana was aided by the formation of the Montana Institute of the Arts (MIA), a grassroots organization that provided connection for various individual practitioners and across disciplines including weaving, ceramics, jewellery making, and woodcarving. The MIA published a quarterly, which provided insights into the development and proliferation of craft in the state in the 1950s through the 1970s, the period of the most robust craft revitalization in the state. Mid-century craft practitioners responded to Montana’s rugged geography and vast physical space by developing strategies to further connection and community.
