ABOUT BLACKHAMMER

The Blackhammer experience has been meticulously curated in phases over the last ten years by Wilson Raska and Elaine Hansard, a pair of Montana artists who have spent decades refining their crafts and helping to build a robust community in Bozeman.

What began as a screen-printing shop decorated with a handful of band posters has grown into a fully-immersive environment and full-on art installation that genuinely has to be witnessed to be comprehended. The dizzying array of Wilson’s collection of low-brow ephemera juxtaposed against the commanding presence of Elaine’s elegant high-brow bronze sculptures forms an unquestionably singular visual tapestry that has truly become greater than the sum of its parts.

Having arrived at the concept of offering Blackhammer as an event venue almost by accident, we have come to realize the importance of providing a unique space for those willing to step outside the bounds of conformity and tradition to encourage deeper discussions about what is possible in our businesses, our culture and our lives in general.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to the opportunity to bring you into our world.
