The Arts Council of Big Sky is bringing another summer of Music in the Mountains to Center Stage in Town Center Park in Big Sky, consisting of 15 events between June 20 and Sept. 5. These include 12 Thursday night concerts, the ninth annual Big Sky Classical Music Festival and a performance from Montana Shakespeare in the Parks. All of these performances are free and open to the public.
“I think this season will raise the bar for live music in Big Sky,” said Brian Hurlbut, executive director for the Arts Council. “We feel we have the best concert series in the region and this year is no exception. We have some great national acts as well some up-and-coming homegrown talent.”
For the third year in a row, the series will kick off with the annual Big Sky Soul Shine event on June 20, featuring cosmic folk band Futurebirds from Athens, Georgia, and local group, Dammit Lauren and the Well, and will conclude with a regional favorite, Pinky and the Floyd, who will bring its all-star Pink Floyd tribute show back to Music in the Mountains for the second year in a row.
Those performances will bookend a variety of performances and genres, appealing to all tastes, from blues to classical, Americana to funk and soul. The full schedule includes Halden Wofford and the Hi-Beams on June 27; the Tiny Band on July 4, complemented by the region’s best fireworks show; The Commonheart on July 11; Orgone on July 18; Hayes Carll on July 25; Marcia Ball on Aug. 1; Town Mountain with special guests Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs on Aug. 8; Mt. Joy with special guests Upstate on Aug. 15; Honey Island Swamp Band on Aug. 22; and Ron Artis and the Truth on Aug. 29.
In addition, the ninth annual Big Sky Classical Music Festival with special guests Angella Ahn, Jonathan Gunn and Dallas Brass will take place Aug. 9-11, a free performance of Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will be held in the park on Aug. 19, and the fourth annual Mountainfilm in Big Sky event will cap the summer Sep. 13-15.
The music takes place at Center Stage in Town Center Park, one of the best outdoor venues in the state, right in the heart of Big Sky. The park opens at 6 p.m. each week and there will be food and beverage vendors, and an arts activity tent for kids. Music typically starts at 7:15 p.m., but reference the Arts Council web site for additional details.
These free community concerts have been a staple in Big Sky for more than 10 years, and this summer should add to a lengthy list of established artists that continue to thrill Big Sky artists.
“We couldn’t put on a concert series like this without the generous support of the entire community,” Hurlbut said. “It’s a huge part of why Big Sky is an amazing place to be in the summer.”

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
