Belgrade, MT – In Montana’s vast and open space, where communities are often small and far apart, isolation can take a heavy toll on a person’s mind. Artist Jim Dolan, known for his public art installations including “Bleu Horses”, is launching a unique initiative aimed at bridging that gap—The Montana Phone Booth Project.
The idea is simple yet profound: Handcrafted phone booths, painted bright red, placed across eastern Montana, each bearing messages like “Call Home” or “Keep in Touch.” These booths, while not functional as actual telephones, serve as physical reminders for people to reach out—to call a friend, check in with family, or seek help if needed.
