The 14th Annual Big Sky Christmas Stroll is this Friday, showcasing the best of Big Sky’s businesses on a night filled with holiday festivities, food, children’s activities, and a visit from Santa.
The Meadow Village Center, Westfork Meadow, and Big Sky Town Center will participate in the scavenger hunt, Lone Peak Brewery’s beer tasting tour and each commercial area will have their own set of must see events, raffles and drawings.
Santa will be arriving in his big, shiny sleigh (driven by the Big Sky Firefighters) at 5 p.m. in the Meadow Village Center for the Christmas Tree Lighting in front of Blue Ribbon Builders, accompanied by a caroler combo from the All Saints Choir & Ophir School. Be sure to get your photo taken and give letters to the jolly old man himself at Outlaw Partners before heading over to First Security Bank’s 6:30 magic show.
From there, Skyline is providing a free shuttle service to the Westfork Meadow area where the Scavenger Hunt and giveaways continue. GAS will be drawing for ski tunes alongside their hot chocolate bar, Eye in the Sky Photography has hidden two Golden Tickets amongst their scavenger hunt giveaways… the finders of these special tickets will win a family photo session package including prints. Enter their raffle for a chance to be the lucky recipient of a 40×55 original custom gallery piece.
Follow the festivities to the Town Center, where all the businesses will be open. Local artists and vendors will host markets above Big Horn Boutique displaying their goods, Jake’s Horses will have sleigh rides for the kiddos, ice skating will commence, and roast marshmallows for s’mores over the bonfire in Firepit Park. An 8:15 fireworks display will explode across the sky, followed by live music by the Cropdusters at Choppers.
Come out and kick off the holiday season on Friday, Dec. 9, and see what all of our local businesses have in store.

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.
