Jeremiah Young, Curator & Gallerist
Jeremiah Young calls Montana home and is the Creative Director for one of the West's most respected interior design firms, Kibler & Kirch. His eye for design and passion for art are the driving forces behind the transformation of an old building into a world class exhibition and design space. His vision for the possibilities of interior design and art going hand-in-hand were the genesis for the Stapleton Gallery. He was raised in Tennessee and graduated from the University of Montana before spending years as a librarian in Asheville, North Carolina--permanently relocating to Montana with his wife, Catherine. They have three children.

BEFORE THE RENOVATION OF THIS 1904 BUILDING, WHICH HAD BEEN ABANDONED FOR MANY YEARS.
A COMPLETE CONCEPT AND INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT READY TO BE UNVEILED!
