We propose to create an outdoor music garden on the Library grounds consisting of 7 percussion
instruments along a treble-clef shaped path. This will be a beautiful addition to the grounds and will
complement the existing sculpture garden and trail system.
Docusign Envelope ID: 306B0344-8D62-8644-83D1-C76565D424BD
Criteria Narrative: Bozeman Public Library Music Garden
Project Overview
The Bozeman Public Library seeks funding to create an inclusive and interactive outdoor
music garden featuring seven permanently installed percussion instruments designed for
four-season use. This accessible, sensory-rich space will serve as a unique destination for
creative expression, community engagement, and wellness, enhancing the Library’s role as
a vibrant hub of public life.
Need for the Project
The Library is one of Bozeman’s most visited public institutions, welcoming over 1,000
patrons daily from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Our outdoor spaces,
including walking paths, play spaces, a sculpture garden, and seating areas, are highly
trafficked and valued by the public. However, no existing park or public venue in Bozeman
offers a dedicated outdoor music experience. This project addresses a gap in accessible,
creative, and multi-generational recreational opportunities, especially for individuals who
face language or mobility barriers.
In alignment with Theme 1 of the Parks, Recreation, and Trails (PRAT) Plan—“welcoming,
equitable access”—the music garden will be accessible and open to all ages and abilities.
It will become a destination for families, caregivers, seniors, and community groups
seeking interactive outdoor activities that promote connection, learning, and joy.
Project Description and Goals
We are partnering with the Bozeman Symphony to select a range of percussion instruments
with complementary tones and pitches, ensuring a harmonious and intuitive experience for
users. These instruments will be permanently mounted outdoors and engineered to
withstand Montana’s climate.
The music garden will be located on the Library’s grounds and built after the City
completes the irrigation system replacement in 2026. The instruments will be installed
along a treble-clef shaped path of decomposed granite with ample space for movement,
seating, and sensory exploration. The design will include educational signage encouraging
exploration, improvisation, and group play. (See attachments for additional details on
design and materials.)
The goals of the project are to:
1. Provide a welcoming, accessible space where community members of all ages,
backgrounds, and abilities can engage with music.
Docusign Envelope ID: 306B0344-8D62-8644-83D1-C76565D424BD
2. Stimulate child development through interactive sound play, supporting cognitive,
emotional, and motor development.
3. Encourage intergenerational connections and spontaneous collaboration through
shared musical experiences.
4. Promote outdoor recreation and well-being through an innovative park feature not
currently available in Bozeman.
Community Impact and Equity
The music garden is intentionally designed to foster inclusion and belonging. Music
transcends verbal language, making it a powerful tool for engaging diverse populations,
including non-native English speakers, neurodivergent individuals, and people with
physical disabilities.
By providing a free, public space that invites creativity and cooperation, the garden will
support community wellness, reduce social isolation, and enrich Bozeman’s cultural and
recreational landscape. Music play reduces stress, improves concentration and mobility,
and fosters emotional expression, making it especially beneficial for children and older
adults.
Project Readiness and Sustainability
The total project cost is $80,758. We have secured $45,000 in funding from individuals and
have invested $6,400 in the design phase. The remaining $35,758 is needed to complete
construction.
Pending irrigation work on the library property is scheduled for 2026. Construction of the
music garden will immediately follow, with projected completion in late summer or early
fall 2026. City facilities has approved the design and don’t anticipate it affecting mowing or
snow removal.
The Bozeman Library Friends and Foundation will oversee the ordering of the instruments,
selection of a contractor, and work on the project in cooperation with Library leadership
and City Facilities.
We will issue a press release, promote on both Library and BLFF social media channels and
e-news, as well as distribute promotional materials in the Library. We will have a grand
opening celebration and invite donors, stakeholders, city officials, and the general public.
Scoring Alignment
This proposal addresses multiple priority criteria from the 2025 Community Grant Program:
Docusign Envelope ID: 306B0344-8D62-8644-83D1-C76565D424BD
• Equity and Accessibility: The music garden will be wheelchair accessible and
designed for all ages and abilities.
• Community Benefit: Serves thousands annually and fills a unique niche in
Bozeman’s recreational offerings.
• Partnerships: Includes collaboration with cultural and civic partners.
• Readiness and Feasibility: Majority of funding secured; professional design
completed; city work scheduled; timeline and sustainability in place.
• Innovation: Introduces an entirely new, multi-sensory play and learning experience
to Bozeman’s public spaces.
Conclusion
The Bozeman Public Library Music Garden will offer an inspiring, inclusive environment
where community members can connect, create, and play. With strong community
support, committed partners, and a clear plan for implementation, this project represents
a timely and meaningful investment in the public realm—one that aligns deeply with the
goals of the Community Grant Program and the PRAT Plan.

Dear Community Grant Program committee,
It is my distinct pleasure to enthusiastically recommend the Bozeman Library Music Garden for
funding through the Community Grant Program.
My name is Cierra Wallace, and I am the Education and Community Engagement Coordinator
for the Bozeman Symphony. In this role, I have had the privilege of partnering with the Library
to create and deliver our Symphony Storytime program. This popular new program, involving a
reader reading a story accompanied by a Bozeman Symphony musician, has served more than
1,800 people since January of 2024 at the Bozeman Library and the HRDC Head Starts. I am
now honored to collaborate again with the Library team as they bring the Music Garden to life.
The instruments to be installed in the Music Garden are not only beautiful, durable, and offer a
variety of warm tones, but they are also thoughtfully designed to be inclusive. They are
accessible for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, some have strong vibrations
that can be enjoyed by the Deaf and hard of hearing, and they are designed in such a way as to
support neurodivergent players in opportunities for social connection. The instruments are also
designed to allow for multiple players and can be played individually or all together.
Music-making has a plethora of proven mental, emotional, and physical benefits, including
everything from improved cognitive function and stress reduction to lower cortisol levels and
increased self-esteem, language development, academic performance, social skills, and
coordination. The Music Garden will be a space that fosters creativity, collaboration, and
connection with others. Its location near Lindley Park and along the trails will allow for surprise,
discovery, joy, and spontaneous music play for community members of all ages, abilities, and
income levels.
The Music Garden will strengthen the Symphony’s existing partnership with the Library by
creating Bozeman’s first public space that provides for free interactive music experiences. For
example, the Music Garden could be used for outdoor Symphony Storytime events, for an
intergenerational and interactive music project the Symphony is piloting in partnership with
Befrienders (a local nonprofit serving the senior population of Gallatin Valley) in their mission to
combat isolation and loneliness, as a site for music activities for children who come to the
Library for free lunch in the summertime, and more. We are also exploring the possibility of
having members of the Symphony compose a song using the Music Garden’s instruments to be
performed in celebration of its grand opening.

I wholeheartedly support the Bozeman Library Music Garden proposal. More than just a
park/trail enhancement, the Music Garden is an innovative musical space that will have great
impact on the community, and I am excited by the potential it creates for planned and
spontaneous music-making that will engage, unite, and uplift the everyday human experience in
our community.
Please contact me at 406-585-9774 or by email at cierra@bozemansymphony.org if you have any
questions or would like more information.
With appreciation and anticipation,

To whom it may concern,
It is with enthusiasm that I write to recommend the Bozeman Public Library's
application for a grant to fund the construction of their proposed Music Garden. As a
long-time resident of Bozeman and a passionate supporter of the arts and community
enrichment, I believe this project holds tremendous potential to provide unique
opportunities for engagement and joy in our growing town.
The Music Garden o ers a creative and inclusive way for community members of all
ages and abilities to interact with music. I imagine children discovering the magic of
sound through outdoor instruments, families creating spontaneous melodies together,
and seniors nding moments of peace in a though ully designed space. The Bozeman
Public Library has consistently demonstrated its commitment to our community by
o ering access to information and providing enriching programs for adults and
children. The Music Garden is a natural extension of this dedication, promising to be a
deligh ul and engaging addition to the library's community o erings. Investing in this
project is an investment in the community of Bozeman.
The Bozeman Public Library has consistently demonstrated its commitment to
providing innovative and enriching programs for our community. Investing in this
project is an investment in the community of Bozeman.
I understand the remaining funding needed is approximately $30,000, and this grant
would be instrumental in bringing this inspiring vision to fruition. I urge the Grant
Commi ee to give this application its strongest consideration. The Music Garden at
the Bozeman Public Library will be a treasure for our community for years to come,
fostering a love for music and creating a harmonious space for all to enjoy.
Sincerely,

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Bozeman (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written
notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures
electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
(ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and
signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and
immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a
limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent

decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and
disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can

DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from
us.

that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the
chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and
disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the
disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with
this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
