It’s that time of year again dear readers, when EBS asks you to vote for your favorite businesses and personalities, which make this resort hamlet so special. The 2017 Best of Big Sky survey opened Nov. 20 and remains live until Monday, Dec. 11.
With more than 20 categories this year, there are many opportunities to celebrate this corner of Montana, and we’re excited to tally the results. Last year, Olive B’s Big Sky Bistro unseated five-time winner The Lotus Pad as voters’ favorite restaurant. For 2017 we’ve added the category “Best Date Night Restaurant” to see where our readers dine when romance is in the air.
With 17 chamber of commerce ribbon cuttings in the last year, the competition for “Best New Business” is guaranteed to be fierce. And without a designated dog park in Big Sky, we’re asking voters to tell us the “Best Place to Take Your Dog,” so you’ll know where your furry friend is likely to find a social scene.
Peter Schmieding was honored as “Community Member of the Year” by EBS readers in 2016, in a category that recognizes citizens who make a significant impact on this area and the world around them. Schmieding was recognized for his impassioned work on behalf of Tsering’s Fund, a nonprofit devoted to supporting education and earthquake relief in the small mountain country of Nepal.
“I really believe it’s not about me,” Schmieding told EBS last winter. “I’m only out there to try to raise money for others. But I’m very appreciative that people recognize that, it means we’re getting the word out.”
With a new survey comes new opportunity for readers to identify another standout citizen in Big Sky, as well as your favorite eateries, après ski destinations and outdoor retailers, among others. Best of Big Sky results will be published in the Dec. 22 issue of Explore Big Sky.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

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.
