upporting the next generation of
western artists is a core principle for
the Studio 706 Artist Guild, and their
annual exhibition at Western Art Week
helps further their cause all the more.
The guild was founded in 1997 when
Bill and Barb Chigbrow purchased a
residence at 706 7th Avenue South
and converted it into an artists'
club. Twenty-three years later, the
nonprofit organization boasts over 50
members and offers a wide variety
of opportunities to fellow artists,
including mentoring, classes, studio
privileges, and scholarship programs
for high school students.

"We're an eclectic group," show coordinator Steve Tilleraas says
proudly. "We have very nice, affordable art."
Many of the Studio 706 artists have honed their creative skills while
simultaneously holding down other jobs, Steve notes. "This show gives
everybody a chance to display their art, to include the practicing and
hobby artists," he explains.
You're sure to go home with something you love.
"We have everything from painting – whether it is acrylic, oil,
watercolors – and then we have jewelry, ceramic, artwork, wood
carving, stained glass, you name it," Steve says.
The Studio 706 Artist Guild Show & Sale is located at the Montana
ExpoPark for this Special Edition Western Art Week event.
