TEDxBigSky Sparks Connection, Opens Conversation

The inaugural TedxBigSky brought powerful ideas to a town hungry for inspiration, inviting discussion and reflection among speakers and attendees. But the impact didn’t end there—subjects discussed in Big Sky at the event’s Jan. 28 debut continue to generate thoughtful conversation.
Collectively, the videos from TEDxBigSky have been viewed nearly 30,000 times. Ripples from the Jan. 28 event are still being felt and continue to generate goose bumps in viewers near and far.
Tune in—or watch again—as veteran CNN journalist Parisa Khosravi describes the struggle to communicate with her son Payam, who has autism and a very powerful message to share.
The incredible story of “Mother Parisa” has been viewed more than 17,000 times and has helped connect families with similar struggles to a potentially life-changing resource.
In “Reaching Escape Velocity,” professional snowboarder-turned-rocket-scientist Andrew Crawford speaks about the stubborn discipline and passion that helped a tenacious kid from Montana achieve his dreams both on and off the snow.
Now that Crawford is hard at work developing technology used in self-driving cars, strapping a snowboard to his feet is not something he gets to do very often. But TEDxBigSky brought the Crawford family together and they were able to hit the slopes together for the first time in 15 years.
Lukas Nelson’s stripped-down acoustic performance of six songs—three of his own, one of his father’s and two Eric Clapton covers—is interspersed with the personal philosophy on perspective and compassion Nelson has cultivated over the years.
Before opening with a shiver-inducing rendition of Eric Clapton’s “Before You Accuse Me,” Nelson describes meeting Clapton as a nervous young pup who didn’t know what to do in his presence other than run up and give him a hug. Tidbits like that add depth and detail to the story of this rising star who has been described as wise beyond his years.
To view the full selection of talks delivered at TEDxBigSky, including “Think Like Your Future Depends on it, Because it Does,” by Ann Hermann-Nehdi, “Beating the Odds: Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with One Lung” by Linda Wortman and “Designing a Better Future” by Scott Wyatt, visit the TEDxBigSky Youtube channel.

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.
