Outlaw PartnersThe Arts Council of Big Sky hosted its 20th annual Madrigal Dinner at Buck’s T-4 Lodge on Dec. 5, when more than 175 guests gathered to ring in the coming holiday season. Traditional themes highlighted the dinner, including a boar’s head procession, Wassail bowl, a flaming pudding dessert and the annual Christmas toast.
The sold out event featured festive décor and a three-course feast prepared by Buck’s T-4 chefs, which included a salad with roasted butternut squash and feta cheese, a roasted New York Strip entrée, and a dessert featuring chocolate cake and a brûléed banana.
Throughout the evening, eclectic holiday music performed by Montana State University’s Chorale, the MSU Brass Quintet and the MSU Montanans drifted in and out of guests’ conversations at the long dinner tables. The MSU School of Music has been performing the Madrigal Dinner for 51 years, 20 of those in Big Sky.
“It’s a way to showcase the talent that’s at MSU for the student singers and the school of music,” said ACBS Executive Director Brian Hurlbut. “It represents a cross section of people in Big Sky. You have people in their 20s and people in their 80s.”
Overall, the historic event represents a festive tradition, and one that Hurlbut equates to the beginning of the giving season.
“Like all Madrigal dinners, I enjoy seeing all the people who come and watching everyone get into the holiday spirit,” Hurlbut said. “It’s a real warm, fuzzy event. Everyone tells me it’s the kickoff to the holiday season.” – Joseph T. O’Connor

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.
