They are back! You may see artists painting anywhere in Big Sky and the Gallatin Canyon for the third annual Paint Under the Big Sky from now until the end of June. Twenty-eight artists from across the nation are painting in the area between Spanish Creek Road to Taylor Fork Road, capturing the beauty and majesty theBig Sky area has to offer.
The opening reception for the public is Saturday evening, June 28, from 5-8PM. Artist awards, compliments of The Lone Mountain Land Company and others, will be conferred at 6PM. This event is an opportunity to meet the artists as well as to have “first pick” of the beautiful creations.

Plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air”, where artists paint landscapes on location outdoors in one or more sittings. Plein air painters have become an important historical resource to record and capture local scenery with emotion and passion for future generations.
