Arts Council hosting first Big Sky Open Studio Tour
The Arts Council of Big Sky is excited to present the first annual Big Sky Open Studio Tour, taking place Saturday, December 7th from 11am to 6pm at various locations throughout the community. This self-guided studio tour will allow you to meet and mingle with 13 of Big Sky’s best artists.
To take the tour, visit the Arts Council website to download and print the tour guide and punch card. Printed tour guides can also be picked up at Tart in Big Sky Town Center or The Trove West in Meadow Village Center. Once you have the guide, you’ll be able to hit the road and look for the studio tour signs around the community.
At each stop, you can explore the artist’s studio space, learn more about their creative process, enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and view new artwork. Artwork will also be available for purchase so you can check off your holiday gift list while directly supporting local artists. Visit all 13 artists, collect their custom stamps on your punch card, and you will be entered to win original artwork by Donna LaHue or Michelle Kristula-Green.
“This is great opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our local artists at work,” said ACBS Education and Outreach Director Megan Buecking. “It’s also a great way to support the artists directly.”
Participating artists include Georgia Baker, Silly Tilly, Michelle Kristula Green, Dave Pecunies, Kira Fercho, Ryan Turner, Julie Gustafson, Sue Lindley, Heather Rapp, Craig Kyzycki, Donna LaHue, Maggie Shane and Lorri Lagerbloom. The event is sponsored by Tart Boutique, Erika and Co., Melanie Turner Home and the Trove West.
