Ron Adamson has a long history dating back to 1974 in creating, exhibiting, selling, teaching, auctioning, and promoting art, especially sculpture.

New to North West Montana is “The Libby Chainsaw Event.” Ron is using his years of experience in the arts to bring an exciting new event to Libby Montana and Ron is inviting any artists who want to carve in this event to come and set up and sell your art at no charge. Logs and wood will be provided. You need your own saws and tools. This is not a competition, but an “EVENT” come and learn from the masters. Ron will be teaching basics in chainsaw carving. Soon to come to this page the 2019 Schedule. Click HERE! for the Schedule of Events. Come to enjoy, come to learn, come to sell, come to teach! It will be a memorable weekend in Libby Montana.

Join us in the summer of 2020!  Located at the old High School grounds on the corner of Louisiana Ave and Lincoln Blvd.
