2025 Featured Artist: Colt Idol

This year’s featured artist, Colt Idol, brings his bold and immersive Western style to the forefront with his signature piece, "Grand Finale". A lifelong Montana resident, Colt has a deep connection to the landscapes and wildlife of the American West. After a basketball career curtailed by injuries, Colt redirected his focus to art, guided by his father, renowned outdoorsman and artist Dick Idol. Now based in Whitefish, Montana, Colt lives with his wife and two children and exhibits throughout the Western U.S.

"Grand Finale" captures the dramatic spirit of the region and will serve as the visual centerpiece of the festival. Colt’s work will be prominently featured at multiple events, and festivalgoers will have the opportunity to meet him in person during select engagements.
