Spanning the Idaho/Montana border, the Scotchmans are one of the last, and largest, wild areas in our region. We conduct education, outreach and stewardship activities to preserve the rugged, scenic and biologically diverse 88,000 acre Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area. We believe the Scotchman Peaks deserve congressional designation as Wilderness for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.

Have you been enjoying the amazing Plein Air Art inspired by the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness area, but wanted to see some of it in the flesh (or, more accurately, canvas)?

You’re in luck! The Scotchman Wilderness Plein Air Art Show now has a new venue where you can come enjoy looking at a few of the more outstanding pieces while sipping a glass of wine.

Gormandie logoFor the next two months, Gormandie, a new upscale wine shop and deli that is now open at Schweitzer Mountain Village, is showing ten of our best paintings from this year’s Fall Paint Out.

Dramatic large studio oil canvases by Jared Shear and Aaron Johnson are prominently displayed, as well as paintings by Ken Olson, Greg Caudell, and Terrell Jones.

Skiers and visitors to Schweitzer will enjoy the immediacy of these Scotchman Wilderness paintings in a cozy setting, and sales of these paintings will benefit the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness.
