In 2019, Tinworks Art brought together artists from across the Bozeman community and beyond to create site-specific works of art that reimagined the possibilities and identities an empty building contained. Through the efforts of these nationally-renowned visual and performing artists, the old Tinworks warehouse was transformed into a dynamic space where visitors experienced art in new and unexpected ways. Tinworks Art featured four visual artists, two performing artists, and a series of community-led conversations.

Visual artists included: nationally-renowned Montana artists Deborah Butterfield and John Buck; accomplished visual and performance artist Adam Frelin; and Bay Area artist Chris Fraser, who drew his inspiration from historic image-making technologies. Performance artists included: two-time Grammy-winning choir, The Crossing, featuring local choral group, the Aoide Chamber Singers; and native artist Bently Spang, who drew inspiration from his experience as a contemporary Tsistsistas/Suhtaio. The Northeast Neighborhood Association of Bozeman also led a series of conversations inspired by their PhotoVoicesNE project—a project that curated photos from the community to give voice to the neighborhood and its character.
