Each summer, The Downtown Business Association, The Emerson Center for Art & Culture, Bozeman art galleries and other downtown retailers host a series of summer Art Walks. Taking place on the second Friday of each month, participating downtown businesses feature unique artists during the free event. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and refreshments are often offered to those who attend.

As part of the Emerson Center for Art & Culture, CSI features a unique Montana artist specializing in varying mediums which may include photography, painting, ceramics and even glass works.

For a full list of those participating in the events visit the Downtown Business Association’s Website.

We are very excited to announce our featured artists for the summer of 2018:
