Jun 3    Gallery Nights Opening Reception: Jeanne Tallman
Please join us at Stumptown Art Studio for an opening reception for local artist Jeanne Tallman. Her current show is titled: "The Journey Of My Life Through The Magic Of Watercolor" Artist Bio: My children wouldn’t play Pictionary with me because I couldn’t draw anything recognizable except a stick figure. That hurt, so I set out to prove them wrong, and to prove that with practice and perseverance I could learn to draw and to paint, and to experience the excitement of creating a story with paper, watercolors and a brush. Karen Leigh taught me to see a myriad of colors in a tree trunk. She is my constant critic and consummate teacher. Ted Nuttall showed me the difference between a beautiful face and an interesting face, which one I should paint, and how to bring a portrait to life. Kath Macauley demonstrated the art of quick-draw and the fun of filling a sketch book with paintings. Bev Wozniak stressed the importance of the contrast between light and dark, and pleaded, “keep it loose” and “the background is part of the story.” Genie Kell challenged me to “paint big, bold and wild.” And so I did. Now Stumptown Art Studio is showing my work to the public and to prove to my children what can happen when the right teacher comes along and the student is waiting. **** Gallery Nights is the first Thursday of each month during the summer from 6-9pm. Each month a new schedule of artists will be showcased in the many downtown galleries of Whitefish. Come enjoy a night out, mingle, and meet the artists. Light snacks and beverages served. We encourage you to Be Kind to the environment and bring your own reusable wine/beverage cup for the night. FREE to attend!

Jun 5    Averill Hospitality presents Live Music at The Boat Club Bar featuring John Dunnigan
Be entertained by local legend John Dunnigan in the Boat Club.

This "offbeat" musician and entertainer took the backroads to Montana over three decades ago and never left (he's no fool). His original, often hilarious songs make you think, laugh, sing along and raise your glass in a toast to life. In short, he can put a smile on your face.

Jun 24    Summer ArtFest at Whitefish

We are proud to introduce the third annual Summer ArtFest at Whitefish, June 24th - June 27th 2021!

The weekend will be bustling with activity - artist demonstrations, live auction, open downtown galleries, food and drink, panel discussions, and a silent auction throughout the weekend. Encompassing the entire town, this is the inaugural event to transform Whitefish into the next fine art destination of the West.

 

Perfectly poised already, the downtown area houses fifteen galleries, numerous artists reside within the city limits, and not to mention the drastic influx of visitors this area sees! We are looking forward to working with the community in order to engage everyone and reel in all corners of the art world to one picturesque location.

 

Whether its just you, your gaggle of friends or the whole family, the weekend will be filled with live demonstrations from artists, engaging discussions, cocktail hours, and animated auctions. Come for the art, or come for the inspiration and good food. Either way, we look forward to seeing you the last weekend in June! Check out our website for more detailed information: www.summerartfest.com

 

 

Our Mission

The mission of Summer ArtFest at Whitefish is to create a space for artists of all backgrounds to gather and share their love for the arts through their unique chosen expression. Community engagement is paramount to the festival, and its eventual week-long format is meant to encompass all art forms, all throughout downtown Whitefish and beyond. Working together, the Summer ArtFest at Whitefish will be a monumental influence in the shaping of Whitefish as a Fine Art Destination.

Jun 26    Averill Hospitality presents Live Music at The Boat Club Bar featuring John Dunnigan
Be entertained by local legend John Dunnigan in the Boat Club. If Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor and John Prine were joined together in some bizarre musical cloning experiment, the outcome would be John Dunnigan. This "offbeat" musician and entertainer took the backroads to Montana over three decades ago and never left (he's no fool). His original, often hilarious songs make you think, laugh, sing along and raise your glass in a toast to life. In short, he can put a smile on your face.

Jun 30    Artist Reception: Richie Carter - Home
Join us for an evening celebrating the opening of Richie Carter's exhibit, "Home." This body of work honors both the physical place and the emotional landscape of home, exploring the many meanings and experiences home can hold for us.

?Wednesday, June 30th
5pm-7pm
Live music by Ellery Luikens!
Beverages and appetizers will be served.

From the Artist: “This exhibition honors home both in a literal sense and as an emotional landscape. The places that we call home, both past and present, hold an incredible depth of emotions and experiences. My goal in creating this body of work is to record a part of my journey to the home within myself and to explore my experiences along the way to self-love and security. I hope you connect to the internal landscape of home through these paintings.”
