Talented local artist Colt Idol is unveiling a new painting inspired by Glacier National Park at an upcoming fundraiser for the Gateway to Glacier Trail.
Idol’s “Discover Freedom” signature canvas print will be for sale at the event on Thursday, Aug. 22, at Freedom Bank in Columbia Falls.
The fundraiser will play an important role in the construction of a paved bicycle and pedestrian trail that will run from Hungry Horse to West Glacier. Gateway to Glacier Trail is a nonprofit organization with the objective of creating a pathway to Glacier Park that will provide a safe and scenic experience. The group has already raised 95 percent of its goal, according to the organization.
Attendees at the fundraiser will have an opportunity to purchase one of Idol’s prints and $100 from each sale will be donated to the Gateway to Glacier Trail. Additionally, every buyer’s donation will be recognized on a trail plaque honoring all contributors by name.
