From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 27-28 during the Park County Studio Tour, 41 of Montana’s most inspired artists will be opening up their studios and workspaces for art shoppers and members of the community to come in and take a behind-the-scenes look.

You’ll get the chance to visit artists, from painters to photographers and potters—even boat builders—and browse their collections in their personal workspaces, from barn studios to downtown lofts. Whether you’re an avid collector, on the hunt for a particular piece for your home or just enjoy strolling through galleries for inspiration, this event’s for you.

Don’t miss the preview exhibition at the Danforth Gallery in Livingston, Montana, August 23-28, and help get the tour started with gusto at the Opening Kick-off Reception, August 26, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Danforth Gallery, during the Livingston Gallery Art Walk.

The 102nd National Western Stock Show opens in Denver on January 12, 2008. But it’s not all rodeos and roping, prize steers and quarter horses. The show is also a great venue for fabulous Western art. Well-knowns like Mark Daily, Len Chmiel and William Matthews share exhibit space with new favorites including Karmel Timmons, Robert D. McFarland, Brad Rude and Sophy Brown, whose painting, “Balancing Act” is pictured below.

You can view—and buy—works by these artists and many more (there are 50 in all) at the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale, January 12-27, 2008.
