Dear Zak,
Thank you for your recent presentation of the Bozeman Sculpture Park master
plan to the Bozeman City Commission. The Commission supports and endorses the
proposed Bozeman Sculpture Park being considered for the public land south of the
Bozeman Public Library. We view the installation of outdoor, public art as a
significant cultural contribution to our community. Additionally, the proposed
combination of both rotating and permanent art installations in the park-like setting
south of the Library would enrich the educational experience of our local school
children and enhance cultural awareness for residents and visitors alike. Best of luck
with the Bozeman Sculpture Park project and please keep the Commission informed
of your progress.
Sincerely,
Kaaren Jacobson, Mayor
City of Bozeman
