BOZEMAN – Montana State University President Waded Cruzado is looking forward to winning a friendly wager on Saturday with her colleague Dean Bresciani, president of North Dakota State University.
The two schools are facing off on the football field in the FCS championship game in Frisco, Texas. It is the first time the Montana State Bobcats have been to a national championship since 1984. They arrive at the game after a win over last year’s national champion, Sam Houston. The Bobcats will face the NDSU Bison, a team that has been in the finals nine out of the past 11 seasons.
The presidents have wagered the wearing of each other’s school colors.
“President Bresciani is a great colleague and a dear friend,” Cruzado said. “Because of that friendship I only want what is best for him: wearing the blue and gold of Montana State. It will look so good on him.”
Bresciani returned the ribbing: “I expect nothing less than another Bison championship and look forward to seeing Dr. Cruzado in green and gold to celebrate our ninth championship title.”
In addition to being football powerhouses, Montana State and North Dakota state are No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in terms of research universities in the five-state region of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and the Dakotas.
As such, the schools’ vice presidents of research are also wagering against each other. Jason Carter, Montana State vice president of research, economic development and graduate education, and Colleen Fitzgerald, vice president of research for NDSU, are wagering a visit to each other’s campuses to see their research enterprises.

Event Details
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.
