Bozeman was founded in August of 1864 by John Bozeman, a frontiersman from Georgia who led wagon trains west to the gold fields in the Montana Territory along the Bozeman Trail, a cutoff of the Oregon Trail. The town served as a supply hub for prospectors looking to strike it rich near Bannack and Virginia City.

Bozeman became the county seat of Gallatin County in 1867.

The city of Bozeman is a college town, with a large School of Art. If you stroll through downtown Bozeman, you will find 50 to 60 sculptures, all with their own unique stories.

The Gallatin Art Crossing Sculpture Park may be one of Bozeman's most intriguing amenities.

The largest collection of art works is at the Bozeman Public Library, the majority of the works located in an art park behind (south of) the library, Bozeman Sculpture Park.

The Gallatin Art Crossing (G.A.C.) hosts a variety of artwork introducing viewers to many artistic approaches. The main focus of the organization is to select and place sculptures throughout the Bozeman area.

Artist: Daryl Paulson
Medium: Steel
Location: Creekside Park
Location Sponsor: Holiday Inn Bozeman

Paulson’s work is comprised of primarily recycled welded metal and occupies territory at the Downtown library, east main, Soroptimist Park and outside city hall.

Daryl has come to treat his art as a method of catharsis, seeing it as the development of feeling and thought into physical existence. The pieces exhibiting this spirit in the Art Crossing are both very human in their construction, befitting of an emotional product.

Ascending Squares consists of eight cubes that is true to the sculpture's name as the cubes are ascending towards the sky. The cube are about the same size and it stands about 8 feet tall.

Ascending Squares is one of two sculptures on displayed in Bozeman by Daryl Paulson.
