The Extreme History Project

Friday, June 5th!

Montana State University students from the School of Art will illuminate the past of a local, historic grain mill on Friday, June 5.

From 9 to 10 p.m., four students will project visuals onto Bozeman’s BG Grain mill at 714 E. Mendenhall St. in a public art installation providing insight into the history of the building. The installation is free and open to the community.

“When students realize their work might be the one of the only things that keeps the history of this place alive in people’s memory, it hits them differently,” said William Culpepper, assistant professor of graphic design. “Suddenly, design isn’t just about making things look good. It’s about honoring something from the past.”
