Published

The Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame
& Western Heritage Center (MCHF &
WHC) is looking for a new home. This
future space will be the state’s premier
destination to honor and celebrate
Montana’s unique western culture and
heritage. The MCHF &WHC is a 501
(C)3 non-profit organization designated
by Montana State Legislature.
Montana communities are invited
and encouraged to request MCHF &
WHC’s Request For Proposals (RFP)
and response submittal requirements.
RFP’s are due no later than 4 p.m. local
time, July 29, 2011.
When selecting the future building
site, the Montana Cowboy Hall of
Fame & Western Heritage Center will
examine a potential community’s alignment
with the MCHF & WHC vision
with community goals and objectives;
the role of tourism in the community;
infrastructure, (including) economy,
transportation, services/utilities and
physical site.
A field of finalists will be identified by
the MCHF & WHC Board of Directors.
Finalists will be invited to participate
in interviews and negotiations.
The future building site will be chosen
in November of 2011.
A group from Big Sky is looking into
the possibility of submitting a proposal.
This group is exploring different ways
to promote tourism in Big Sky.
Ryan Hamilton, who is part of this
group, said one of their biggest challenges
will be “getting the right people
together to prepare a proposal. It will
require a substantial investment of time
and resources to fully complete, but I
think that our location, amenities and
infrastructure could position Big Sky as
a very strong candidate.”
Eric Ladd, also a supporter, said, “For
years, cities like Cody have benefited
from museums. This opportunity is
massive in terms of potential economic
impact, and Big Sky should take this
very seriously.”

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.
