We always appreciate the dedication and creativity displayed by some street art pieces.

When people think of street art, they think about graffiti tags or derogatory words on the side of cars, buildings, or rail cars, but that's not always the case.

Street art can display beautiful murals of people, places, or otherworldly ideas and can be breathtaking. Some street art takes up a small wall, or some folks can turn an entire side of the building to make it more pronounced and a center point.

One spot is Missoula. Missoula has places around the city where artists can display graffiti, murals, and other art exhibitions. You can find these spots in downtown parks and alleyways.

The other city that might surprise you with unique street art is Great Falls. Located in Northern Montana, Great Falls has been trying to make their downtown area more attractive and recently had an idea.

They invited world-class street artists to create fascinating and eye-catching murals on the side of buildings. Great Falls even has a walking tour to see every piece.

Remember, one of the best artists in the American West is from Montana and has a museum in Great Falls. Art and Montana have a deep history. It doesn't matter if you are a street artist or use a canvas because you can be successful or find a place to show off your skills.
