T
he Carbon County Arts Guild & Depot Gallery is happy to announce the three featured artists for the upcoming Art in the Beartooths fundraiser to be held Saturday, July 13. They are Terry Cooke Hall from Bozeman; Sonja Caywood from Dayton, Wyoming; and Marcia Selsor from Red Lodge. Hall and Caywood are painters each with a vibrant use of color and texture in their compositions. Selsor is a ceramic artist whose incredible organic vessels are a result of experimentation with the clay surface and firing process. Sonja Caywood was born in Sheridan, Wyoming, but raised in Montana. She spent summers in settings reminiscent of Charles M. Russell paintings, with mess-wagons, tents, tipis, and a rope corral. Being

Caywood believes that losing her job was a blessing because it led to her lifelong dream of painting. She lives with her husband at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains near the Montana line in Dayton, Wyoming. Terry Cooke Hall states her passion for art as a youth led her to numerous classes and workshops in graphic design and illustration, including studies of the works of the Golden Age illustrators. In 1978, Hall put her training into use by illustrating for land development firms in Southern California. After 15 years, Hall left her job and cofounded a commercial art business.

It’s all
up and downhill at the Beartooth Run and Grizzly Peak Turn, Pedal & Burn
BY CHARITY DEWING
cdewing@billingsgazette.com
At 10,000 feet elevation, the 51st Annual Beartooth Run is the highest 5k and 10k race in the United States. Hosted by Red Lodge Events, their catch phrase is “low-key and high-elevation” experiences for beginner to advanced athletes. The run begins at 8 a.m., July 13, at the top of the Beartooth Pass. While course, distance and organizers have changed over the past 50 years, the idea of providing a race in an extraordinary setting remains unchanged. For the racers and organizers of the event, taking racing out of an urban setting and directly into nature creates an unforgettable and transcendent competition. “The views are breathtaking,” said Kristen Hollum, race director at Red Lodge Events. “You don’t get to experience something like this every day.” With open blue sky, snowcaped peaks covered in low-hanging clouds, wildflowers and sunshine, the race attracts all ages and stages of race ability from all over the U.S. “Safety is our biggest concern. We tell east coast visitors to spend a few days in Red Lodge and get used to the elevation before participating. We want racers to know their limits, abilities and listen to their bodies,” said Hollum. The pass is undeniably stunning from car view. For participants, walking or running the switchbacks at what feels like the top of the world is more than a race – it’s an experience.
Grizzly Peak Turn, Pedal & Burn After a four-year hiatus, the Grizzly Peak Turn, Pedal & Burn triathlon is back. Sponsored by Red Lodge Mountain, the threepart race begins at 10 a.m., April 20, and it’s all downhill. The triathlon hit a bump in the road in 2015. Lack of snow and man-power made it hard to come together. “All of the elements need to be just right,” said Hollum. But emails continuously poured in asking to bring the event back and it just so happened the right amount of snow and community support brought the turn, pedal

color. Hall’s realistic figures are set in an imaginary world of colorful winds or swirling skies, often backlit by an abstraction of the sun or moon using color, patterns, and textural elements to provide a unique contemporary style. Red Lodge artist Marcia Selsor is a Professor Emerita from Montana State University-Billings where she taught for 25 years, chaired the Art Department, was the elected president of the Academic Senate, and wrote grants to support the Art Department Outreach Programs. Selsor served as the Director of the Ceramics Program for the University of Hawaii in 2005 and taught at the University of Texas, Brownsville as a guest lecturer. As a recognized artist, Selsor has been listed in the “Who’s Who in American Art” since the 1980s. She is an active artist whose work continues to be included in

SUMMER SKI AREA
Not your average ski hill BY CHARITY DEWING
cdewing@billingsgazette.com
Despite record breaking snowfall in February, there are those who still need snow days in summer. Just 23 miles south of Red Lodge is the only summer-specific ski destination in North America, Beartooth Basin Summer Ski Area, where proficient skiers and boarders find the cool way to enjoy hot weather. “This is for advanced skiers that are traveling to the Beartooth Pass with the intent to do some riding and skiing routes that are accessed via the highway,” said Austin Hart, manager at Beartooth Basin. “The Basin is not your average ski hill – we don’t have a lot of amenities and we don’t sell much outside of lift tickets and a unique riding experience.”
viced straight up, the surrounding areas offer 3,000 vertical feet of hike-in backcountry skiing and riding. Hardcore skiers can hike an additional 100-200 feet with the Twin Lakes Headwall – even more to ski to the lakes. “The tourists walk to the edge of the slope and point down, commenting on how Twin Lakes crazy all the skiers are. Most guests that ride at the Basin Headwall Terrain aren’t your average tourist,” 600 acres of very steep said Hart. skiing terrain that varies in pitch from 15 to 50 degrees Rails, air and – this is not for the faint racing – oh my of heart.

and features to “jib” on. “The setting is spectacular – snow surface conditions are generally soft and predictable, and there is a sense of adventure and camaraderie while exploring the Beartooth Pass,” said Hart.
Ski Racing & Freestyle Camps The Basin offers part of the hill for athletic programs from all over the country to train. Big Mountain and Freeride teams also travel from around the west to ride at the Basin and Beartooth Pass. “It’s wild up there. Everyone looks out for each other and has a good time. The phrase we like to use at the Basin is ‘the spirit of
skiing,’” said Hart. With alpine views and numerous ski routes, the Basin calls to folks that enjoy the simplicity of skiing in the mountains with friends, where experience is not contrived or predetermined by anyone else. “We are a locally-owned community ski hill and it’s important to keep places like this alive for the future of ski culture in the western U.S.,” said Hart. Teams and groups can rent hill space for ski racing and mogul training through the season. The basin is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., through July 7, weather permitting.

56th annual Red Lodge Music Festival a great experience for all BY CHARITY DEWING
cdewing@billingsgazette.com
The town of Red Lodge explodes with musical talent June 1-9, for the 56th Annual Red Lodge Music Festival. The festival acts as a low-residency program where children just finishing seventh grade up to just leaving high school come for an intensive program to train with some of the finest classical musicians in the country. But it’s not all work – students get to explore Red Lodge and everything is has to offer – especially the Montana Candy Emporium. “It really brings in revenue for the town. It is the off-season for tourists, so business owners enjoy having them and the kids just love it here,” said Carmen Galt, talent recruiter. With as many as 225 students and 33 faculty attending camp, locals benefit from an array of jazz and classical concerts to attend. The program offers financial assistance to students, including an endowment fund called “Growth for Passion.” “It’s passion that makes this all work,” said Galt. “The festival has been happening for 56 years – we all love what we do. It is a passion for music and to provide children a chance to

“Domo” by Ensamble Studio at Tippet Rise Art Center.
Beauty from the beaten path BY CHARITY DEWING
cdewing@billingsgazette.com
About an hour north of Red Lodge, in the picturesque town of Fishtail, lies Tippet Rise Art Center, the largest-known sculpture park by landmass. Captivating pieces include “Two Discs,” by Alexander Calder, a titanic steel sculpture of abstract expressionism juxtaposing the natural elements around it. “Domo,” by Ensamble Studio, appears as three colossal fragments of rock formed as one. While the massive piece stands out against grassy plains and vast blue sky, it simultaneously appears alien to the environment or perhaps an artifact of something that has always been. The 2019 summer concert season at Tippet Rise begins July 12 through Sept. 7, with The Gryphon Trio performing Beethoven and Brahms and work of Sri Lankan-born composer, Dinuk Wijer-
atne. The season continues with flutist Brandon Patrick George, pianists Stephen Hough and Aristo Sham, the St. Lawrence String Quartet and many more performing at sculpture sites or the Olivier Music Barn. Tickets must be purchased in advance and online. Natural harmony is abundant as massive site art becomes the stage for flute, violin and cello instrumentalists. As their melodies flock together through the breeze and over the prairies, Tippet Rise shows that the unusual is usually the most beautiful. Tippet Rise will open to visitors from early July to mid-September on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Van tours can take up to eight passengers for $10 per person; riders 21 and under are free, and all tours require reservations. You can also tour on your own on foot or pedal. For more information, go to tippetrise.org.
At the eclectic, couture boutique Paris Montana in Red Lodge, owner Heidi Martincic believes feeling good about yourself on the outside often inspires emotional well-being. With a degree in journalism and many years in the corporate world, Martincic was a successful business woman but it took a significant change in her life to inspire her to follow her dreams. “My life turned into a bad country western song – my husband left me, my dog died and the market crashed,” she said. It was a chance encounter with a French jewelry designer while on a cruise ship that inspired Martincic to begin making her own necklaces. “I saw what this designer had done and I knew I could do it and my Montana roots kicked in. I sold my Mercedes – everything I had – and started from the ground up,” Martincic said. Martincic wasted no time. She immediately started attending large-scale fashion and jewelry shows, learning the tricks-of-thetrade from the best in the business. Before she knew it, she was making a name for herself in the industry and affectionately called “The
Western Betsy Johnson.” Born and raised in Montana, Martincic chose Red Lodge as her landing spot for Paris Montana. The small-town community appeal blended with the artistic and contemporary vibe of Red Lodge was the perfect fit. Now, she owns one of the only authentic western couture boutiques in the region. “My goal for every woman that walks through my doors is to help them feel amazing in their own skin,” said Martincic. Martincic designs and creates much of the clothing in her boutique including best sellers like the lace and leather chaps and the custom Tumbleweed Skirt. Martincic’s designs appeal to all ages and sizes of women. In fact, Paris Montana sees shoppers closer to age 40 and over – renegade women against societal norms, refusing to fit a mold. “I decided as I aged I was not going to go quietly. I was not going to cut my hair. I wasn’t going to wear clothes that I didn’t feel fabulous in. I was going to ignore what I was supposed to do – I was going to be fierce and feel sexy,” said Martincic. Martincic’s style encapsulates the rugged feel of western flair in each couture design she creates. From tulle bustle skirts that she
hand-pigments herself to layers of pearls paired with dirty boots and a vintage hat, the shop stands out among the rest. Paris Montana has a realistic approach to women’s curves and needs. Sizes range to fit and flatter all women. “It doesn’t matter if you are a size 2 or 22 – I want women to feel beautiful in what they are wearing and not just wear what is the leastworst on them,” said Martincic. For the many women who walk into Paris Montana afraid of what to expect, they leave with a handmade Tumbleweed Skirt, a sense of self-worth and appreciation for the positive experience. “A lot of customers are afraid to wear the skirts because they will ruin them. I say, wear it everywhere and marinate it in your life. Get dirt on it, spill wine on it, be wild in it – it only adds to it,” Martincic said. Paris Montana is also affiliated with a sister boutique in the same building, Moo Country. The two shops, owned and operated by women, encourage customers to find personal empowerment. Oftentimes, emotional restoration begins with an external makeover – or, at least a really fabulous bustle skirt.
