Big Sky Center for the Arts: Latest Updates

Big Sky Center for the Arts: Building a Creative Future Together

When the Arts Council of Big Sky purchased 77 Lone Peak Drive, it wasn't just about acquiring a building. It was about creating a permanent home where creativity, education, and community could come together under one roof.

Today, that vision is already making an impact.

Since opening our doors in April 2025, the Big Sky Center for the Arts has become a gathering place for the community, hosting classes, performances, workshops, meetings, and events that bring people together through the arts.

A Community Hub Already Making a Difference

In just over a year, the Center has:

  • Partnered with more than 60 community organizations
  • Hosted 80+ programs and events
  • Served more than 3,000 people
  • Expanded youth programming to five times what we previously offered
  • More than doubled the number of individuals we serve each year

These milestones demonstrate what we've always believed: when a community has access to creative spaces, people show up.

The current building has allowed us to offer more opportunities than ever before, but it's only the beginning of what's possible.

A Place for Everyone

The Big Sky Center for the Arts is about much more than a building. It's about creating a place where people of all ages can create, learn, gather, and connect.

Imagine a place where families attend concerts together, students discover new passions through art and music, nonprofits gather for meetings, artists showcase their work, and neighbors come together through shared creative experiences.

Whether you're taking your first art class, attending a community event, or volunteering, the Center is being built to welcome everyone.

Looking Ahead

Phase I will transform the building into a vibrant community arts hub featuring:

  • Performance and event space
  • Youth art classroom
  • Pottery studio
  • Teaching kitchen
  • Gallery and multipurpose classroom
  • Radio station
  • Rooftop venue

These dedicated spaces will allow multiple programs to happen at once, creating even more opportunities for classes, performances, workshops, and community events.

Every class taught, every workshop hosted, and every community partnership reinforces why this project matters. We've already seen what's possible in our current space. As we continue toward Phase I construction, we're building more than an arts center - we're creating a lasting home where creativity, connection, and community will thrive for generations to come.
