Welcome to the Future of the Arts in Big Sky

The Arts Council of Big Sky is thrilled to announce the development of our new arts center, located at 77 Lone Peak Drive, the former Choppers restaurant. This transformative project will create a public-access arts hub designed to inspire creativity and foster community connections.

Why a New Arts Center?

For years, the Arts Council has operated out of BASE, where we rent an office and a multipurpose classroom. While we are grateful for BASE and its support, we’ve outgrown the limitations of a single classroom and the lack of a dedicated venue space for larger programs and visiting artists. Our new building will feature five classrooms, expanding our capacity for workshops, classes, and programming. Additionally, it will provide dedicated spaces for community gatherings and creative exploration.

What’s Planned?

The remodel will transform the existing 7,700-square-foot building into a four-story, 10,000-square-foot arts center. Highlights include:

Our Vision This center will complement existing community resources, such as the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center and Big Sky School District’s facilities, offering new opportunities without overlapping existing services. It will be a vibrant space for everyone—artists, students, and residents alike—to engage, collaborate, and create.

What’s Next?

In the near future, our offices will move to the new building, and we will launch a capital campaign to fund the renovations. Stay tuned for updates and ways you can support this exciting project.

As Arts Council Development Director Katie Alvin says, “There’s so much creative energy in the community that’s ready to be tapped, and this creates the space for that.” We can’t wait to bring light, vibrancy, and inspiration back to this space, creating a brighter future for the arts in Big Sky!
