What we call "Artsy" Cartography introduces a collection of map-like products designed to emphasize aesthetics and visual appeal over geographic detail and accuracy. It involves innovative and imaginative designs that commonly deviate from typical mapping conventions to evoke in the audience a certain mood or feeling, tell a story through visual means, and/or express spatial relationships rather than represent them. If you're looking for something unique that will win the hearts of map nerds and art snobs alike, try a custom "artsy" print from Excelsior Cartographic.

Missoula, MT - "Beartown"
Missoula, MT - "Beartown"
(2022) Exc.Carto's take on creating art out of the street grid and natural boundaries of Missoula, MT. Western Montana, where the city is located, is well-known for its seasonal population of big game, the most famous of those being the formidable grizzly bear. Missoula's own University of Montana has immortalized the grizzly bear by way of statues, branding, and sports teams (The Griz play in the NCAA's Division I Big Sky conference.) This "map" could be a great poster for someone hoping to return from Missoula with some local mementos.
