As a downtown business, The Gem Gallery always participated in Downtown Bozeman Association's annual Art Walks. I reached out to local artists to show for a month in the store, coordinating which months worked best for June through September. I provided the artists with social media marketing and posters to hang in the store and around town. The best part about the Art Walks is that The Gem Gallery doesn't charge for artists to show in the store, so 100% of sales on artwork went to the artists.
