Project MArt (More Art) and founders Allison McGree and Maggie Carlson collaborated with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership to create a student-driven community mural that is now installed and on display at 229-233 East Main Street.  The 229-233 East Main location currently sits empty with a plywood sheet barrier after the 2009 downtown explosion when the building was significantly impacted by the explosion and was eventually torn down. With this location’s future uncertain, the Downtown Bozeman Partnership and Project MArt along with students from Hawthorne School teamed up to create a mural the community to enjoy until this location’s future is decided.

The Community of Bozeman Mural Project was supported by numerous local artists, businesses and organizations including; The Downtown Bozeman Partnership, Owenhouse Ace Hardware, Kenyon Noble, Mural Artists; Saskia Ewen-Fox, Maggie Carlson, Brandon Smith, Wendy Marquis, Allison McGree, Professional Brushworks, Hawthorne School Teachers and Students, Tarantino’s Pizza, The Leaf & Bean, MacKenzie River Pizza, The Bozeman Public School District, The Montana Arts Council, Heeb’s Grocery, Chris and Maddy Pope, Whole Art, Montana State University Art Practicum students, Bozeman High School Art Club, City of Bozeman Street Department and Rethink Thrift.

The Unveiling Celebration is during at the 1st Downtown Bozeman Art Walk on June 8th at 5pm at the mural site (229-233 East Main Street).

The Unveiling Celebration is open to the public and will take place rain or shine!  For more information about the Community of Bozeman Mural Project, please call the Downtown Bozeman Partnership Office at 406-586-4008 or visit  www.downtownbozeman.org.
