The Targhee Bluegrass Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary Aug. 11-13 with three full days of bluegrass music and dancing in the alpine setting of Alta, Wyoming’s Grand Targhee Resort.
Since its inception in 1988, Targhee Bluegrass has become known as the granddaddy of bluegrass festivals in the Northern Rockies, repeatedly drawing the biggest names in bluegrass music from the old timers to the hottest new acts on the scene.
This year’s lineup boasts a variety of bluegrass musicians, from traditional pickers such as the Del McCoury Band, Darol Anger, Peter Rowan and Sam Bush to contemporary acts and fast up-and-comers like The Infamous Stringdusters, Railroad Earth, Sierra Hull and Mandolin Orange.
Targhee Bluegrass Festival has been a mainstay for bluegrass aficionados for over two generations because of this reputation for stage appearances and spontaneous jam sessions by artists and performers that span the bluegrass genre spectrum.
During the week leading up to the festival, many of the stage performers and artists play host to a very unique camp and music teaching experience by attending the Targhee Music Camp, which is sold-out.
With music as the common language, this camp focuses on individual instrumental skills, group playing, singing and jamming. Each day features morning and afternoon classes with your chosen instrument, elective workshops, jam sessions (both structured and unstructured) and evening performances—meant to add up to a jam-packed and inspiring experience.
Classes are generally geared toward intermediate players, and some degree of proficiency is expected. (Please contact Thomas Sneed if you have questions about your ability level). Students of all ages are welcome, however, students 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

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.
