Artist Workshop Weekends
Montana provides the beauty, we provide the art supplies!
“So Fun, Informative, & Relaxing! You’ll discover creativity you didn’t know you had.”
It’s no wonder that artists & novices alike 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, offering a unique opportunity for guests of all experience levels to work alongside masters of oil, watercolor, pastels, leatherwork, and sculpture to engage with these artists on a personal level over the course of a relaxing long weekend. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, you are sure to leave with a new masterpiece or two, that you didn’t know you had in you!
