Alexis Adams
Communications and Administration Manager
Publications Administrator
From the moment a guest first learns of Tippet Rise to the time they exit the art center’s gates, Melissa helps facilitate their experience from beginning to end. With a background in theater and hospitality, she oversees communication and administration at the art center. From managing the Tippet Rise website and social media accounts to orchestrating event planning and ticketing, her contributions are indispensable to day-to- day operations and to her colleagues at the art center. Melissa lives in Red Lodge with her husband and two young daughters.
Art Education Coordinator and Visitor Center Manager
With a background in fine art and education, Beth has taught kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as
at the college level, running art workshops, teaching classes, and giving tours. She earned a BFA from the University of Wyoming and an MFA from the University of Montana and is a professional artist herself. Beth began working at Tippet Rise as an intern during the inaugural season. Today she manages the visitor center and oversees our art education programs, which focus on art, music, architecture, and conservation through hands-on workshops for all ages.
Alexis helps to write and edit articles and other content for the Tippet Rise website, and she assists with our public relations efforts. Although she often works behind the scenes, her favorite days are spent at the
art center working alongside her colleagues, helping guests, and marveling at the extraordinary acoustics
of the Olivier Music Barn. She is also a freelance writer, contributing to Oxford University Press, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and other publications, often writing about Greece, where she has lived off and on since childhood. Today Alexis lives in Red Lodge with her children, a bird dog, and a couple of Greek cats.
