All June: Photographs by Ryan Drewes & Monoprints by Marybeth Morand at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery
In June we will feature new work from two very active members of the Big Sky Artists Collective: Ryan Drewes and Marybeth Morand. Ryan Drewes large photographs bring Rustic Americana to life and MB Morand’s monoprints are a fresh and unique take on Rodeo Memories.
Both shows are nostalgic reminders of simpler days, rodeos, and the summer season.
We hope you’ll stop in to see this new original work and to also view new work from the permanent members of the Studio and Gallery.
We will be hosting our FIRST FRIDAY summer evening on
Friday June 6 from 5 – 7PM.
We welcome locals and visitors to come by for sips and bits and an opportunity to meet and support the artists who make up the Big Sky Artists Collective.
The Gallery is now on summer hours, open daily from 11 – 6PM, and later, depending on weather, on Farmers Market Wednesdays.
