THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS IN TWO LOCATIONS

In 2021, Tinworks Art curated a multimedia art experience entitled The Pursuit of Happiness at two historic locations in Bozeman: The Rialto and Story Mill.

The exhibition explored topics such as unity in democracy, individual and collective wellbeing, lateral power structures, and more. Local artists, carefully selected from the Montana arts community, were set in conversation with artists working nationally and internationally.

Community and educational programming — from workshops to interactive experiences — activated the static works of art and transformed them into catalysts for conversations about what it means to be happy in a democratic society.
