I have heard that in Gallatin County the proportion of people identifying themselves as artists is several times the national average. True or not, I do know that there are a lot of artists around, but they can be hard to find even if they are on the Internet. I do know that people are looking, because my stats tell me of the web searches that bring people here.
The only online listing site I know of is the Bozeman page of Montana Artists, but to reach their very short list you have to scroll down past ads for real estate agencies, Hannah Montana, and a page-long tourist brochure. If there are other lists I’m missing, please let me know.
So I would like to make this blog available. If you’re an artist and have a web site, tell me and I’ll post it here and add a link on the Bozeman Artists page. And if you don’t have a web site, then Art Bozeman can be a place you might be found if people are searching for you specifically, or Bozeman area artists in general. Either way, just send me (steve@stephendurbin.com) a few sentences about you and your art, along with contact information, and an image or two to include if you wish. You don’t have to live in Bozeman; any real or imaginary connection is enough.

It was great to meet you last night! I like this site very much… how can I get some of my work up here? Many thanks! Laura

Laura, thanks for your interest. I’ve added you to the Bozeman Artists page, with a link to your web site. Nice to see that you also have a blog there! Other ways to appear on Art Bozeman are by sending info on an upcoming event, submitting a brief statement with a couple images for a bio post, or providing an image for the site banner.

Steve, I’d love to be added to this list. I didn’t know you all existed until just minutes ago! How wonderful. I’m a relatively new artist, but am presently in the middle of a 2-month show at the Sola Cafe. My latest (and probably best) work is not on my website yet, so I’d be happy to send you a couple images if you’re interested. You’ll also find my Artist’s Statement and Bio on my website.
Thanks so much for doing this, Steve. What an amazing resource!
