ARTS COUNCIL OF BIG SKY
BIG SKY – In their ever-growing effort to keep the art scene
alive and well in the Big Sky community, the Arts Council of Big Sky is gearing
up for their eighth annual Auction for the Arts event on Saturday, Feb. 29 from
6-10 p.m. at the Wilson Hotel. The evening includes quick-finish, live and
silent auctions, music, food and drinks—proceeds raised will be applied
to educational program support, Music in the Mountains and public art
presence in the community.
“The auction has grown over the years and has been a sold-out
event,” said Arts Council Executive Director Brian Hurlbut. “Each year we have
several new participants and this year is no different. We feel we have some
exciting new artists that have not been seen in Big Sky before.”
The live auction will feature artwork by Kevin Red Star, Julie
Chapman, Terry Cooke Hall, Rachel Warner, Ben Pease, Amber Blazina, Barb
Swartz-Karst, Miles Glynn, Harry Koyama, Tabby Ivy, Tom Gilleon, Carrie Wild
and many more notable and regional favorites. Some of the artists will be participating in
the quick-finish portion of the event, where attendees are encouraged to come
early and watch as the pieces come to life before they are framed on the spot.
Please visit bigskyarts.org or call the ACBS office at (406) 995-2742 for more information or to purchase tickets. The event is presented by Big Sky Sotheby’s International Realty, with additional support from Security Title and Blue Ribbon Builders.
