The Art Alley 5.5 Talking Trail project is the result of a unique partnership between Talking Trail and the Dakota West Arts Council and the 2021 Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce Leadership Program.

The Art Alley Talking Trail is proud to showcase the stories straight from the artists. Whether the artist is sharing their passions, inspiration, process, meanings, or much more, we feel lucky to connect the viewer directly with the artist, and hope you enjoy the experience as much as we do!

Special thanks to everyone involved in this project!
