Trip Planner
There’s no question that artists are inspired by Montana’s extraordinary landscape. Creative genius comes to life here and is on display at every turn. Yellowstone Country’s art galleries, theaters, art walks, festivals and thriving downtowns all offer a world beyond the park that transforms a trip to Yellowstone into a full Montana experience.
Yellowstone Country’s many galleries house paintings, sculptures, photography, mixed media and stories of the people — past and present — who have shaped and been shaped by the allure of Big Sky Country. Take a stroll through downtown galleries any time of year and don’t miss the summer Art Walks in our small communities.
Artistic expression is on display here at every turn, from downtown murals and street art to outdoor sculptures, like the Bleu Horses of Montana, by artist Jim Dolan. These 39 majestic horses (mixed metal) are grouped on a hilltop overlooking Highway 287 on Kamp Hill, and look as natural as a wild herd.
Nature’s show-stopping performance is rivaled by Montana’s performing arts scene. Our small towns support theater companies, historic community playhouses and performing arts centers that help put Yellowstone Country on the map as a cultural destination.
