This Weekend: 8th Annual Art for Everyone Event at The Wilson Hotel

Featuring the fine art of members of the Big Sky Artists Collective, a group of distinguished local artists, and now in its eighth year, the 2026 sale will once again feature the popular Whiskey, Wine and Art + Meet the Artists evening, Saturday, August 29th from 5pm – 8pm. With whiskey from several Montana distilleries and wine coming from selected wineries, this reception will provide an opportunity to meet all the artists in a casual atmosphere, browse a collection of the very best new art, and buy tickets to sample some of the region’s finest liquor and wine.

As the name implies, Art For Everyone will feature a range of fine art, including several forms of painting,  photography, ceramics and mosaics. With price points as diverse as the art, the Big Sky Artists’ Collective strives to make this an event where there is truly something for everyone, including a great chance to get to know all these local artists. We look forward to seeing you this Saturday and Sunday at The Wilson Hotel.

Saturday August 29th: 10 AM to 8PM
Whiskey Wine and Art in the lobby: 5PM – 8PM
Sunday August 30th:  8AM to 4pm

The 2026 Lone Peak Film Festival Selections Have Arrived

This year’s Lone Peak Film Festival selection is a collection of powerful, inspirational films that will stay with long after you leave the theater.

Across twenty one films, you’ll travel from the high winds of the Himalayas to the quiet forests of Mexico. You’ll follow skiers, fishermen, ranchers, artists, conservationists, elders, and young people finding their footing in a changing world. You’ll meet those who carry old traditions forward and those determined to imagine something new.

These are stories shaped by wild places and ordinary courage—of people who keep showing up for one another, for the land beneath them, and for the future still taking form.

All Access Passes are available now and individual tickets become available August 19th.

Wildlands is Almost Here – July 31 & August 1

Big Sky’s biggest music-meets-conservation weekend is finally here! Wildlands returns to the Big Sky Events Arena beneath Lone Mountain this Friday and Saturday, headlined on Friday with Riley Green & Leann Rimes and Saturday with Carrie Underwood & Kaitlin Butts. Now in its sixth year, Wildlands has become one of Montana’s most anticipated events — bringing together great music, mountain views, and a shared love for wild places.

And it’s not just about the music. The Wildlands Charity Auction is live now, with proceeds directly supporting this year’s conservation partner, PERC (Property and Environment Research Center). Wildlands has raised over $2.2 million for conservation efforts since it began — help keep that momentum going by bidding on some incredible items before the auction closes.

Grab your tickets, place a bid, and we’ll see you out there this weekend!
