The Arts Council of Big Sky is pleased to host the 13th Annual Auction for the Arts event, scheduled to be held at the Grand Ballroom in the Montage in Big Sky on Saturday, February 22, 2025. Tickets will be on sale in December, stay tuned!
We are currently seeking original artwork for our juried silent auction and artists to participate in a quick-finish during the event for our live auction. See FAQ page for further detai
Proceeds from the Auction for the Arts allow the Arts Council of Big Sky to make arts programming affordable and accessible so everyone can participate in art classes, events, and community art installations.
Along with benefitting our community, the Auction for the Arts is a full-circle fundraiser that simultaneously creates an opportunity for amazing artists like yourself to earn income and connect with Big Sky buyers while also providing a critical revenue source for our organization.
Along with a silent auction, the Arts Auction includes quick-finish artists who will be completing their piece on site during the event to be auctioned off in our live auction. Throughout the night, incredible food and drinks, live entertainment, and a paddle raise to support the mission of the Arts Council will help create an amazing night. In the months leading up to the Auction for the Arts, public and private previews will be held throughout Big Sky. More details to come!
The call for auction artwork is now open, and we are seeking original artwork for our silent auction and to engage those interested in the quick finish portion. If you are interested or know someone who would be interested in participating in the Auction for the Arts, please follow the proper application links below.

Hand-picked artwork selected by our artwork selection committee from our Call for Art and by invitation is included in our silent auction at the Auction for the Arts. The silent auction catalog is offered online, so you can begin dreaming about your newest artwork addition(s)! Bidding for the silent auction usually begins one week before the main event and closes just after the live program on February 22.
If you cannot attend in person, the silent auction is a fun way to still participate and bid on artwork--which you can do from anywhere! Stay tuned for more information about when the silent auction will open!
Watch your next painting come to life as invited quick finish artists create paintings throughout the evening, which will be auctioned off in the live auction on the night of the Auction for the Arts. Other premium experience packages will be auctioned live as well. This is a very exciting part the event!
Each year the Auction raises funds for a variety of programming, including education, public art and events. Please stay tuned at how this year's auction will help the Arts Council keep thriving!
