The Big Sky Chamber hosted its semi-annual Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 7, in the Big Sky Chapel. Started last year, the Town Hall meetings allow a variety of organizations to present to the community on everything from marketing projects to organizational improvements, to working initiatives and more.
About 50 people attended the Town Hall meeting. “It was a good turnout, but we always hope for more,” said membership director Robin Brower-McBride.
This was Marne Hayes’s last Town Hall meeting as the Chamber’s executive director. Her final day at the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce is Tuesday, Dec. 20. The top four candidates for the director’s position will be interviewed on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Board of Directors’ meeting. There will be an opportunity for full public interaction with the top and final candidates during their final interviews.
The board hopes to have a new director by the end of this month and starting within the first few weeks of January. The Chamber is looking for part time help to assist Brower-McBride with administrative responsibilities between the few weeks after Hayes leaves and a new director is hired.
The Chamber recently chose the Billings-based A.D. Creative Group to assist in development and implementation of a strategic planning, marketing and branding initiative to identify and promote Big Sky as a travel destination.
A.D. Creative Group has hosted two private meetings in Big Sky, and plans to conduct more through December and early January that will be open to the public. The next meeting, on Dec. 14 in Big Sky, will be a chance to give A.D. input on their initiatives for Big Sky’s new brand. Contact the Chamber of Commerce for more details.
Hayes also discussed improvements to the Biggest Skiing in America campaign. Ryan Hamilton and Eric Ladd, both of the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Montana Western Heritage center committee, spoke of the success of their final round interview with the CHF and MWHC board. The home of the facility will be announced by the end of January.
Look for an extended overview of the Town Hall Meeting in the Dec. 16 issue of the Big Sky Weekly.

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.
