AUGUST 2026: ART HARVEST

About Art Harvest:

Each artist has partnered with a local farm to make work about the agriculture that sustains us.
Our First Friday reception will feature offerings and education information from Killing Frost Farms, Millay Meadowlark Farm, Trustland Farms, and Farm Connect Montana.

"Art Harvest is about connection to place, earth, cosmos, and community. It is about celebrating local food in the form of art, as nourishment for the spirit as through the bodily nourishment provided by local farms. In fostering creative interaction with our local food system, Art Harvest facilitates a cross pollination between the arts and our farming community, creating connection and celebration of that which brings vitality and purpose to our lives."

 


 

About the Artists:

Luke Orsborne graduated from Wiliam and Mary with a BS in Studio art in 2001. Fueled by a long term practice of meditation and self reflection, he produces his creative works in rural Montana, in the form of art, poetry, and garden harvests. He has been a regular vendor at local arts and craft fairs and markets and painted a mural as part of the Art in Polson public art project in 2025. As part of his efforts toward creative community building, he managed the Ronan Farmers Market for several years, and currently manages the Mission Falls Farmers Market.

Sage Friss is a Missoula based artist who grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Montana. He's deeply connected to the world around him and inspired by nature. Spending time watching bugs live their lives has always been a valued activity for him. Capturing specific moments in time is important to his process. His work largely features realistic scenes within imagined realities. He is a self taught artist and is always looking to deepen his skills, whether through new mediums or subject matter

Courtney Blazon is a Missoula-based artist and illustrator known for her intricate, narrative-driven drawings that blend symbolism, mythology, natural history and surreal storytelling, as well as for her contributions to the regional arts community.

David Miles Lusk is an artist and printmaker specializing in block printing. He grew up in western Montana, where he developed a love of nature and making art. When he is not in the studio carving prints, he can often be found tending his garden. David graduated from the University of Montana in 2014 with a BFA, with an emphasis in printmaking.

Lukas Phelan is a contemporary artist and painter from Montana. He is interested in the ways landscape shapes and informs contemporary attitudes and beliefs. His lush and intricate paintings capture a specific feeling known well by those who know Montana, and they question how the land is experienced and cared for by the people who encounter it. Lukas grew up in Forsyth, Dillon, and Bozeman, and received his BFA from the University of Montana and has exhibited and taught art in the Missoula area for over a decade, often collaborating with his partner Zoë Phelan. He was the Arts Education Director at the Zootown Arts Community Center and also works as a graphic designer and illustrator.
