The Arts Council of Big Sky will once again be hosting its Annual Auction for the Arts on Thursday, February 22, in the Grand Ballroom at the Montage Hotel in Big Sky. The event—now in its 12th year—includes a fixed-price lottery sale, live and silent auctions, a quick finish with selected artists, food, drinks, and live music.
Find new artwork for your home and help out an important Big Sky organization. The Silent Auction catalog will be offered online, where you can register, log in, and start picking out your favorite pieces. Bidding will open the week before the main event and close just after the live program on February 22nd.
The silent auction features more than 100 juried items from local, regional, and national artists and is now available for viewing by visiting the link below. This year’s silent auction features pottery, paintings, sculptures, furniture and more from artists including Jill Zeidler, Parker Ford, Carrie French, Lorraine Lagerbloom, Betsey Hurd, Tabby Ivy, Kirsten Kainz, Rocky Hawkins, Jennifer Pulchinski, Stella Nall, Adair Peck, Sue Moncada and many, many more. The artwork was selected from more than 150 submissions and curated to present a wide range of mediums, price points and styles. The silent auction bidding opens at 9 a.m. on Friday, February 16.
Tickets for the in-person gala at the Montage are now and available to purchase by following the “Get Tickets” link below. This annual fundraiser for one of Big Sky’s longest-running non-profits has become one of the region’s most anticipated events of the year and is a great way to support the Arts Council’s mission of enriching the community through artistic experiences, as well as supporting working artists. Proceeds raised from artwork sales help fund the organization’s education programs, including its pioneering Contribute-What-You-Can art class fee structure, providing accessible and affordable options for participants of all ages. The Arts Council debuted a brand-new classroom in March of 2022, which includes pottery wheels, two kilns and space for a variety of art classes.
