AdminBozeman hosts second annual event
By Amber Lowry for the Big Sky Weekly
On Saturday, Sept. 24, the local
non-profit group D.R.E.A.M. (Down
syndrome research, education and advocacy
in Montana) will hold its second
annual Buddy Walk in Bozeman.
The walk is a one-mile loop around
the Gallatin Regional Park, otherwise
known as the “Dinosaur Playground”
located off of Oak Street.
The event is a fundraiser for
D.R.E.A.M., a local organization that
provides financial grants to kids and
adults with Down syndrome. The
funds from last year’s walk helped pay
for therapies for a 3-year-old, a high
school child’s prescription medications,
and another child’s a life-flight
to Denver. Funds also go to the National
Down Syndrome Society.
D.R.E.A.M. is a diverse group of
parents in the Gallatin Valley and
surrounding areas with young
children with Down syndrome. The
group’s mission is to increase the
acceptance and understanding of
individuals with Down syndrome in
Montana through support, education
and advocacy.
Many children born with Down
syndrome need extensive medical
intervention. D.R.E.A.M. assists
those families with ensuing medical
bills and provides funds for families
who have difficulty paying for other
expenses associated with Down
syndrome like therapies and adaptive
equipment.
Registration for the Buddy Walk
begins at 10 a.m., and the cost is $10
per walker. D.R.E.A.M. encourages
anyone interested in collecting
pledges to create a page on their First
Giving link.
Each walker will receive a Buddy
Walk t-shirt. The event will also offer
complimentary food and beverages,
and a silent auction that includes a
pool table, boys and girls bicycles,
and art work.

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.
$170.
