Mini Auction for the Arts

The Arts Council of Big Sky is pleased to host the 15th Annual mini Auction for the Arts. This year we are shaking things up with an online-only auction of small works as we begin the BIG transition to the Big Sky Center for the Arts. Artwork will be on display in the BASE Community Center Gallery in Big Sky and online auction open January 6th - February 19, 2027.

We are seeking original artwork for our juried online auction for full donation to the Arts Council. While this is not typically the model we use, we are deeply committed to supporting and sharing the work of our beloved artists. We believe transitioning to this model this year will allow us to continue our full-circle format in the future while also allowing us to create a space that supports artists and their development within the scope of our new building.
