Art Walks

Our dedication to the artists who find inspiration under the big sky is apparent just by strolling the main streets of our vibrant communities any day of the week, but when you attend a downtown art walk you experience this commitment first-hand. Local businesses and art galleries host monthly gallery nights with artist openings and receptions.

Residents, visitors and art enthusiasts chat with artists and gallery owners over hors d’oeuvres, wine and some of the finest artwork in the Rocky Mountain West.

Venture out to the Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail for a unique art-walk experience. Set against the backdrop of the Beartooth Mountains, this 12,000-acre working sheep and cattle ranch exhibits large-scale, outdoor sculptures. Bike, hike or take a van tour led by the art center’s staff. Tippet Rise also hosts classical chamber music and recitals on its property.

In Bozeman, the art walks generally run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m on the second Friday of the month in June through September. Bozeman also hosts a special winter art walk in December along Main Street and at the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture.
