Artist Workshop Weekends

Montana provides the beauty, we provide the art supplies!

…all you need to bring is your desire to create and your spirit of adventure!

It’s no wonder that artists flock to Montana to seek inspiration from the breathtaking scenery, majestic wildlife and vibrant western culture that flourishes in our rustic setting. Under the gentle tutelage of prominent Western artists, seek your own muse and learn how to summon it onto your canvas. Artist Workshop Weekends at Triple Creek Ranch, which launched in 2008 & have been a guest favorite ever since, offer a unique opportunity to work alongside masters of oil, watercolor, pastels and sculpture and to engage with these artists on a personal level over the course of a relaxing long weekend.
