We have a wonderful collection of artists from all different art forms. Interested?

Please let us know! BRAG has over 90 active members located throughout the valley. They are as diverse as the arts and crafts they create. From fine art, jewelry, aprons, leatherwork to stonework, these individuals make, remake, paint, or tool fancy gifts for that hard to please person. The Guild’s 3 big show events are the Holiday Show, which takes place the first Friday and Saturday in the Event Center at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds. This show is known for its raffle. The proceeds from the raffle go back into the community promoting the arts. The Spring Show is held the second weekend in April at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds Event Center. Art in the Park is held at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds in July. The Bitterroot Arts Guild shows and membership into the Guild are juried to ensure all creations are created in Montana as well as quality and uniqueness. In 2022 BRAG upgraded the display boards at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds. These will be available for all events at the Event Center. These took 200 hours of volunteer labor to complete. Masa Home Center and All Valley Flooring helped by contributing all building materials at cost. In the past, the organization completed the construction on the inside of the old art building at the Ravalli County Fairgrounds. They built a bathroom, insulated and put in heating so there would be a place to have events in the colder months. Although they don’t have regular meetings, the group welcomes new members. Just stop in and see what they offer and maybe you’ll want to join this local art group too. For more information about the shows or to join the group contact: Trinity Gibson at [email protected]. The group was founded in 1970.

❤️🎄 BEHIND EVERY CREATION IS A HEART, A STORY, AND A LITTLE PIECE OF SOMEONE'S SOUL.

Art begins with a spark of imagination, a touch of courage, and the passion to create something meaningful. Every handmade treasure represents an artist's time, talent, and willingness to share a piece of themselves with the world.
And the real magic? ✨ When something born in one person's imagination finds a special place in someone else's heart.

That's the spirit of the Bitterroot Arts Guild Holiday Extravaganza!

Join us as over 50 talented Western Montana artists come together under one roof to celebrate creativity, connection, and the joy of sharing their art.

❤️ Some dreams are worth helping grow.
For eight years, Melissa Allred has poured her heart into Aspen Grove Farm, creating something truly special right here in the Bitterroot Valley.
Now, after years of nurturing her plants, growing her business, and sharing the fruits of her labor with our community, Aspen Grove Farm must move.
Melissa has already begun the enormous task of transplanting her beloved berry bushes to their new home. But she needs our help to finish the journey.
❤️ The Bitterroot Arts Guild is proud to support Aspen Grove Farm, our Featured Artist at this year's Holiday Extravaganza.
This is what community is all about. Neighbors helping neighbors, small businesses supporting one another, and keeping Montana dreams alive.
The campaign ends October 30! Support starts at just $10, and every contribution or share makes a difference.
🌱 Let's help Melissa put down new roots!
