In addition to the featured openings at the galleries and businesses, the Art Walks also feature live performances throughout downtown…. locations and musician information is below:

While you stroll from gallery to gallery, you will also be able to enjoy live jazz and rock music played by young musicians from the area.  Some of our consistent groups include Syzygy and Basement Jazz.  Many of these groups are involved in an organization calledHand Me Down Some Silver, a non- profit organization that awards scholarships to those students in need for music lessons, music instruments, and special music projects.  The opportunity to support this incredible organization during the ArtWalks is brought to us by donations from First Security Bank.  You can find these ensembles and/or bands at the following locations: In front of First Security Bank, Ellen Theatre, Emerson Center for Art and Culture and at Soroptimist Park.

The Art Walks are free and open to the public and will go on rain or shine, and for more information visit www.downtownbozeman.org or call the Downtown Bozeman Association at 586-4008.
