GALLERIES
Downtown Bozeman is home to over 20 galleries, each with a distinct flair. Old Main Gallery and Framing is one of the original galleries to start the art community and it features original paintings, vintage maps and impeccable framing for your own pieces or photography. The restored nineteenth century building is beautiful in and of itself. Or visit Tart, located in the iconic red barn, has an eclectic collection of locally made jewelry, clothing, gifts, paintings, drawings and ceramics, with a focus on unusual and light-hearted pieces.
Outdoor Art
You don’t have to look far to see art adorning the town. Outdoor pieces pepper the sidewalks, buildings and even the traffic control boxes! Gallatin Art Crossing places sustainable art throughout the downtown. Check out the sculpture park at the Bozeman Public Library, or the lawn of the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture. And the traffic control boxes? They are wrapped with original artwork to add vibrant public art to the streetscape and decrease the instances of graffiti, poster and sticker vandalism.
