Welcome to the Montana Painter's Alliance web site. The MPA was formed to assist and cooperate in fostering, stimulating, and encouraging the growing interest in plein air painting, landscape painting, and studio painting by Montana's wealth of professional artists. The MPA organizes paint-outs, lectures, workshops, and gallery shows for its members. Plus it offers in-state and out-of-state visitors the opportunity to observe Montana's finest artists at work. 

The MPA also works with other art organizations interested in all facets of the arts to extend cultural horizons.

Featured Artist:
Greg Scheibel
Greg Scheibel finds inspiration in the remote locations, and unspoiled beauty of the west. Greg was a drywall contractor for many years, always with a dream of someday taking his passion for art to the next level. Years of drawing, pouring over art books, collecting and studying paintings of artists he admired, and a general accumulation of life's experiences contribute to what he puts into his paintings. A fulltime artist since 2007, he has been awarded scholarships from the Scottsdale Artist School, and has twice received an Award of Excellence from the Oil Painters of America. He was recently awarded signature membership in the OPA. Greg lives in Bozeman, Montana with his wife and two children.
