Events, Art and Music

Part of what makes Sola unique is the variety of cultural events, art, and music we host for the Bozeman community.

Every two months, a new local artist’s work is featured on our restaurant’s dining room walls. This provides a new venue of exposure for budding and established artists, as well as having an ever-changing “view” for our loyal Sola customers. We love seeing and hearing our customer’s appreciation of and reactions to the art on our walls!

In addition to art, we provide a comfortable, fun, and delicious venue for a variety of musical and cultural events, oftentimes in partnership with musicians and companies for the benefit of a non-profit or charity. Want to host your next event at Sola? Contact us today.

Please see below for information on current art and upcoming events.
