Event Details: Art Focus’ Plein Air Under the Big Sky Paint Out took place August 20th -22nd this year at the Flying E Ranch, located east of Stevensville in the Burnt Fork area, Bitterroot Valley. This historic cattle ranch was conserved in 2011 by Dan and Debbie Severson in partnership with the Bitter Root Land Trust. Scenic views of the Bitterroot Mountains can be seen from the hay fields that both cattle and wildlife call home.

The pieces created during this year’s paint out will be featured at Art Focus September 1-31st. A portion of the proceeds of each sale will be donated to the Bitter Root Land Trust. The Bitter Root Land Trust is a local, non-profit organization that partners with landowners and our community to conserve clean water, wildlife habitat, and working farms and ranches in and around the Bitterroot Valley for present and future generations.
