Mountain Sage Gallery

Mountain Sage is owned and operated by 14 “local” artists. We are your friends and neighbors. We stand in line with you at the grocery store and the movies, but we are also a group of professional artists who have earned top national and international recognition for outstanding work. We have been judged and juried by the best and accepted into the Pastel Society of America, Women Artists of the West, the Montana Watercolor Society, Professional Photographers of America, Western Heritage Artists, the Society of Animal Artists (international) and the International Society of Scratchboard Artists. This year alone, we will be represented at prestigious shows in New York City, San Diego, Santa Fe, Jackson Hole, Tucson, San Antonio and Russell Week in Great Falls. Our collectors hail from nearly every state. So, we invite you to take the opportunity to get to know and invest in these current masters. Is the next Charlie Russell one of us?

The Painted Pot

We are a paint your own pottery and glass fusing studio located in the historic downtown. We carry earthenware (ceramics) that is cleaned, fired, and ready for you to paint! All of our paints and glazes are lead free and non-toxic. Finished pieces are dinnerware safe, so you can create usable art. Paints, brushes, creative supplies, and instruction are included every time you come in. We also have all the glass necessary to create a beautiful piece.

Our customers come in all sizes and ages. Kids are old enough when they can hold a paint brush (we have high chairs) and adults are never too old. No experience with painting or art is necessary because our friendly staff is always here with creative ideas and the tools to make your project a success.

The Painted Pot is a great place to create unique, personalized gifts for any occasion, including

  • Birthdays
  • Weddings
  • Anniversaries
  • Graduation
  • Baby showers
  • Mother’s/Father’s/Grandparents’ Day
  • Holidays (Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s, St. Patty’s, Flag Day, etc.)
