BIG SKY – As evening falls over Big Sky on July 16, mouth-watering
smells will waft over the lawn at Buck’s T-4. Some of the area’s best
restaurants will be gathered for the 16th annual Big Sky Food Festival,
a tradition that draws approximately 1,200 people every year.
Festival attendees are primarily Big Sky residents, said Bucks co-owner
David O’Connor.
“I see a lot of faces I know when I walk around the food fest,” he said,
noting that several hundred regional visitors also attend yearly, coming
from as far as Idaho Falls and Billings.
Each of the 12-15 vendors offers appetizer-sized portions, giving
patrons a chance to sample several. Many do “their own twist on fair
food” O’Connor said.
“It’s something where they can introduce their own flair, the theme of
their own restaurant, but still make it fun to eat outside.”
There will also be beer and wine booths outside, as well as a full bar
inside Buck’s, and live music.
“It’s a great event, so community-driven,” said Morgan Ayres, owner of
the Cinnamon Lodge. A vendor at the festival, Ayres is planning to
bring bacon-wrapped jalapeños, handmade tamales, sopapilla
cheesecake, key lime pie and prickly bear lemonade.
Rainbow Ranch participates every year, and general manager Mollie
Eckman says it’s good exposure for the ranch’s high-end dining room.
“The Big Sky Food Festival is not necessarily our everyday clientele, so
its good to get out and network and see different people, and expose
them to different food.”
The Big Sky Food Festival will run from 5-10 p.m. O’Connor
recommends carpooling, as parking is limited.
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.
