For the third consecutive year, the Arts Council is bringing a slice of Telluride, Colorado, and its acclaimed film festival to Big Sky. From Sept. 14-16, various venues will host screenings of 26 films total, including two feature length films, a day of family-friendly shorts, and an evening of documentary shorts for adults.
A selection of films curated specifically for the Big Sky community, Mountainfilm kicks off Friday night with a 7 p.m. screening of the feature film “Dark Money” at the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center. A reception will precede the screening, and a Q&A with journalist John S. Adams will follow. Adams is featured in the film, which delves into the dark underbelly of campaign financing, while shining a spotlight on Montana in particular.
The Saturday schedule begins at 10 a.m. with a meet-and-greet with special festival guests in The Big Sky Real Estate Discovery Center at 25 Town Center Ave. The festival then moves up to the resort for a series of kid-friendly shorts that begin at 1 p.m. at the Big Sky Resort Amphitheater in the Shoshone Hotel.
Saturday night, Mountainfilm returns to Town Center for the main event at Lone Peak Cinema: a 6 p.m. reception followed by documentary short screenings at 7 p.m., an audience vote on best film, and live music beginning at 9:30 p.m.
This year the Arts Council is extending Mountainfilm with a free, outdoor screening of “Bikes of Wrath” at 8 p.m. Sunday in in Town Center Park. The film follows cyclists from Oklahoma to California as they take an in-depth look at today’s America through the lens of John Steinbeck’s seminal novel, “The Grapes of Wrath.”
“Mountainfilm is a great event for our Big Sky audience,” said Katie Alvin, the Arts Council’s program and education director. “These inspiring films fit in well with our adventure-loving, outdoor oriented lifestyle.”
The films will explore the themes that express Mountainfilm’s mission to use the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. Mountainfilm began in 1979 and is one of America’s longest-running film festivals.
“The community has really embraced the Mountainfilm event,” said Arts Council Executive Director Brian Hurlbut. “We’re excited to add even more screenings this year to further inspire people of all ages.”

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.
$170.
