All December: JOY! at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery

During December in addition to our large-scale pieces, the Big Sky Artists Collective Studio & Gallery is also featuring small works which are sized and priced for holiday gift giving and easy sending. With a mix of paintings, photographs, mosaics and jewelry you are certain to find a special gift for that hard to please person or even yourself. Come to our First Friday event on Friday December 5th from 5 – 7pm to have a first chance at getting a special piece, meet some artists and enjoy sips and bits.

We look forward to seeing everyone during Xmas Walk on Saturday, December 13th. As the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery, a non-profit, begins its 4th year of operation we give a big “thank you!” to the Big Sky Community and all the visitors who have contributed to our success. The Collective, has grown to around 30 members and during the course of the year about two thirds of them hang work in the Studio & Gallery, which is run by the members of the Collective.

Your purchases support local artists creating original work in this corner of Montana.

The Arts Council of Big Sky is pleased announce that the 28th annual Madrigal Dinner is returning to BUCK’s, on Thursday, December 4, 2025 at 5 p.m. This magical Big Sky tradition is a production of the Montana State University School of Music and is considered by many as the kick-off of the holiday season! Tickets are by advanced reservation only and include a rustic dinner with festive music from the Montana State University Montanans, the MSU Brass Quintet and Voces Luminis. The evening begins with a no-host bar at 5 p.m., followed by seating for the dinner promptly at 6 p.m., in preparation for the Ceremonial Procession of the Lord and Lady of the Manor and their guests. Olde English customs are the theme throughout the evening, including fanfares introducing the Ceremonial Procession, the Wassail Bowl and Christmas Toast, the Boar’s Head Procession and the Flaming Pudding Dessert. The Montanans serenade guests throughout the evening and are joined by Voces Luminis (ssaa) for the concert finale. The dinner closes with the audience joining the musicians in singing familiar carols.

SAVE THE DATE: December 27 at Courtney Collins Fine Art – The Five by Robert Osborn

The Five – The Courtney Collins Collection by Robert Osborn

Join Us December 27th, Saturday. from 5 pm to 7 pm at Courtney Collins Fine Art.  

Courtney Collins Fine Art Gallery in Big Sky will have a special collection of five large-format portrait prints by fine art portrait photographer Robert Osborn.

The five 48” x 62” prints included, printed as large as Osborn can print and framed, were curated by Collins specifically for her gallery.  Collins worked very hard at making a connection with Osborn and he’s been a presence in her gallery since she opened the doors in 2020.  Osborn’s portraits create narratives. They tell stories. Reveal uneasy truths. The astounding component of his portraits are the expressions that live under the skin.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet with Robert Osborn, portraiture photographer.
