Entertaining, engaging and enriching our community for a better understanding of ourselves, others and the world. Art House began as an idea of Billings native Matt Blakeslee and slowly but surely grew to a committed core of individuals passionate to see downtown have a premium theater and art space. Beginning in 2012 we started work on our business plan, hired theater consultants, traveled to con

ventions, built relationships with other theaters, and began to talking with our architect, Dennis Deppmeier. Finally in the summer of 2013 we found a home in the old bowling alley (Center Lanes) located at 109 North 30th Street. This place was perfect as it not only provided a great space to build our theater, but also provided the adequate room and infrastructure for our desired expansion in the future. We signed the lease and began demolition and remodeling in September 2014. The next 7 months involved many long nights, early mornings and multiple coffee runs as we continued to tweak, design, and build out the theater. Our amazing architect wisely informed us we should plan for an approximate price tag of $220,000 when all was said and done. This didn’t phase us, but simply motivated us to share the vision, fundraise, and work hard to save every penny we could. So many individuals and companies stepped up to the plate to help cut our projected budget from $220,000 to $120,000. This truly became a community project and we are so grateful to everyone who gave, served, and shared the story. March 2015 we opened our doors to the public and began to show films. This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to see what happens as we continue to bring in great films along with showcasing other great art. We can’t wait to have a great conversation.

A COMPASSIONATE PORTRAIT OF ADDICTION AND RECOVERY

Will Poulter stars in UNION COUNTY for a special screening at Art House n National Opioid Awareness Day. Blending real actors with actual addicts in recovery, its an intimate look at battling inner demons and the difficult work of rebuilding a life. A truly impressive film that tries to portray realism over Hollywood gloss. Do not miss this one.

AN ACTION-PACKED KOREAN ALIEN INVASION SPECTACLE!

HOPE is an crowd-pleasing but totally unhinged sci-fi action-adventure from South Korea that wowed audiences at Cannes and is one of the wildest rides you'll take in a theater this fall! Awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects make for epic cinematic bliss in a simple story of the police trying to hunt down a mysterious entity that is laying waste to a small village. This is one you'll want to see on the big screen, for sure!

...I HEARD YOU SAY!

The brothers are back together! OASIS: DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER captures the reunion tour we never thought we'd see as Britpop legends Liam and Noel Gallagher puts their differences aside for the 2025 Oasis reunion tour! It's a rock doc, a concert film, a legendary family feud, and look back at the titans of the 90s Britpop revival! Watch history unfold in this electric documentary by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern (the team behind concert films for LCD Soundsystem, Blur, and the 2000s indie rock doc Meet Me In The Bathroom).
