The Art in the Beartooths (AIB) fundraiser for the Carbon County Arts Guild & Depot Gallery is an annual event featuring two components; a Silent Auction Art Exhibition with all the work sold online and an in-person Quick Finish Live Auction event. All proceeds from both auctions help support the Carbon County Arts Guild programs, exhibitions, scholarships, and educational outreach.

For the AIB Silent Auction Exhibition view spectacular art from local and regional artists July 13-August 5, 2024. The artwork will be on view at the Depot Gallery located at 11 W. 8th Street in Red Lodge. Bidding for the Silent Auction Exhibition is done in silent auction fashion online through Handbid.
