BOZEMAN YELLOWSTONE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
BOZEMAN — Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) handled 1,573,860 passengers during 2019. This is an increase of 231,570 passengers (17.3%) compared to 2018 and is the tenth consecutive year of record-breaking passenger traffic. Annual passenger traffic has more than doubled over the past 10 years and accounts for a third of all airline passengers traveling to and from Montana.
During 2019, Allegiant added summer seasonal non-stop service to Los Angeles (LAX). United increased summer and winter seasonal service to Houston (IAH) from weekends to daily and Delta expanded Seattle/Tacoma service from Saturdays summer and winter to daily year-round on December 21st. In 2020, BZN will add its newest non-stop destination when American begins summer Saturday service to Philadelphia. American will also add daily summer service to Los Angeles and summer Saturday service to New York’s LaGuardia airport. In May, Alaska Airlines will up-gauge two of their four daily non-stops to Seattle/Tacoma with mainline A319/A320 aircraft. In June, Sun Country Airlines will become BZN’s eighth airline brand when they begin summer seasonal non-stop service to Minneapolis/St. Paul. On July 6th, Delta will increase Atlanta non-stop service to daily year-round making BZN the smallest market in the western U.S. with daily year-round service to the world’s largest hub airport.
The Air Traffic Control Tower handled an all-time record 97,867 aircraft operations during the year, up 8.1%. Business aviation operations increased 35.0% to 11,868. General aviation accounts for 68% of aircraft operations, scheduled passenger and cargo airline service accounts for approximately 20% with business aviation accounting for the remaining 12%. There were 126 general aviation international arrivals handled at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office at BZN during the year.

In addition, nineteen new private hangars were under construction at the airport and Central Valley Fire District opened their new fire station on leased airport land.

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.
