Events
SLAM began in 2011 with a small festival in Bogert Park in Bozeman, MT with the primary intent of sharing Montana artists with the Montana public. Now, we host two annual art festivals and a brewery tour, promoting artists of all techniques and materials, local breweries and distilleries, musicians, writers, culinary artists-- anything and everything that is an Montana made by hand with a original twist. Check out our events and make sure to post these dates to your calendar!
Public Art
SLAM recognizes the value of art that is accessible to all members of our community, regardless of age or socio-economic status. We feel that living with art in our everyday lives cultivates an appreciation for the arts, and inspires art advocacy, while promoting abstract thinking, ingenuity, and creative problem solving. In an effort to increase access to public art, SLAM spearheads projects that manifest in art installations in public spaces.
