Specifications include, but are not limited to: Elevating the spirit of Bozeman's vibrant community, our quest is to find an iconic public sculpture for Fire Station No. 2 that transcends convention. This artwork should weave a modern, innovative narrative that artfully intertwines the distinct essences of the Bozeman Fire Department, Montana State University (on whose campus the fire station resides), and the Museum of the Rockies (which sits across the street from the station). Drawing inspiration from these sites, the sculpture will reflect the evolving spirit of this diverse city. Guided by the principles of storytelling, we seek an artwork that beckons engagement, offering both vehicular travelers and pedestrians an intriguing experience. With a focus on local Montana talent, while remaining open to fresh perspectives from afar, our goal is to introduce a piece that sparks curiosity and celebrates Bozeman's rich history. Through its uniqueness, playfulness, and captivating aesthetics, this sculpture will not only enrich the city's public art collection but also encapsulate the evolving vibrancy of Bozeman's character, inviting all to partake in its ever-evolving tale.
