Arts Council of Big Sky The Arts Council of Big Sky is Big Sky's premier non-profit cultural organization. The concert stage is located in the Big Sky Town Center on Ousel Falls Road.

At various events throughout the year, the ACBS provides artistic opportunities for visitors, tourists, residents, children, and artists. In the summer the sounds of Big Sky come alive with Music in the Mountains at the newly constructed Center Stage at Town Center Park, one of the most beautiful venues in the state for outdoor music. We host a free concert every Thursday evening at the Center Stage during July and August, featuring a variety of national touring musicians performing in a truly spectacular setting.

Thank you to the Big Sky Chamber and everyone who joined us throughout the week!

It’s officially October, and we’re ready to start celebrating Halloween and Día de Mu***os at the Big Sky Center for the Arts!

Kick things off with our FREE Día de Mu***os Art Workshop and learn the art of Cartonería, a traditional Mexican craft that uses paper, cardboard, and paste to create colorful, sculptural figures and masks.

During the FREE two-day workshop, choose what you’d like to create:
Calaca - a skeleton figure representing a loved one who has passed.
La Catrina - the iconic elegantly dressed skeleton and one of the most recognizable symbols of Día de Mu***os.
Alebrije - a colorful, fantastical animal inspired by Mexican folk art.
Calavera mask - a wearable mask inspired by traditional sugar skull designs.

You’ll build your piece during the first session and decorate it during the second, while learning more about the history and symbolism of Día de Mu***os. Then, bring your creation to our November 1 Día de Mu***os celebration and Parade of Catrinas that is FREE and open to the public!

October 8 & 10
Thursday 6-8pm and Saturday 4-6pm
FREE. Ages 10+. 16 spots.

Participants must attend both sessions. Full workshop details, including materials and allergen information, are available through the registration link.
