Learn about PLT’s BIG HEART program

Are you an artist interested in contributing your creativity to a beloved community tradition? Payette Land Trust invites you to a casual BIG HEART Artist Open House on Thursday, December 11 from 5:30 to 6:30pm at the PLT Office.

This drop-in event is designed for any artist who wants to learn more about becoming a BIG HEART Artist in 2026. You’ll have the chance to:

  • Meet and chat with past BIG HEART artists

  • Hear about their experiences creating art for conservation

  • See this year’s BIG HEART by Amy Ruiz and the companion heart by Sharon Herther up close

  • Get answers to any questions about the program, process, and application

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or simply curious, this is a relaxed opportunity to connect with the artists who have shaped the BIG HEART program and explore how your art could be part of the Conserving the Heart of Idaho program!

Light snacks and beverages will be provided. We hope to see you there!

📅 Thursday, December 11
5:30–6:30pm
📍 PLT Office – 309 E Lake St., Suite 5, McCall (between Alma Naturals and 44 Degrees N, downstairs)
