Arts-Entertainment
Since 2009, the Livingston Center for Art and Culture has proudly hosted Plein Air Painting on the Yellowstone. This year, a gathering of 35 talented artists will converge to capture the breathtaking beauty of Park County, culminating in a stunning Wet-Paint Gala on August 8th that is open the public.
Kurt Benson is a participating artist who says, “Growing up in the rural west, my appreciation of nature and its dazzling color palate came easily. Moving to Montana 25 years ago, I discovered a way to bring art and nature together. Plein air hooked me.”
Sandra Newman is also a participating artist that shared, “Painting, especially plein air, has become a spiritual event for me. If I can capture the feeling of a particular subject and convey that to the viewer, I feel I’ve been successful.”
On Wednesday, August 6th, you can catch many of the Plein Air artists at the Livingston Farmers Market. It's an excellent chance not only to see their artistry in action but also to enjoy engaging activities for kids hosted by the Center.
Plein Air Painting on the Yellowstone will be on display at the center from August 8th to September 6th. In addition to the Gala on August 8th, mark your calendars for an additional Reception during the Livingston Art Walk on August 22nd, from 5:30 to 8 pm.
