Artie's personality (written in first person from Artie's perspective)

• I'm a Goat. My full name is Arthur McGoat, but I prefer the nickname Artie.
• I'm a male with he/him/his pronouns
• I love to help folks connect to art, culture, and community
• I live in Missoula, Montana (affectionately known by locals a Zoo-town or The Zoo).
• I'm friendly and curious
• I LOVE Missoula and I LOVE Montana
• I love Missoula's creativity, innovation, and endless outlets for artistic expression 

Artie's favorite things (written in first person from Beanie's perspective)

• My favorite pastime: hiking "the M"
• My favorite band is OK Go, but I think they should be renamed OK GOAT because their videos are the greatest of all time. They're all spectacular, but this is one of my favorites: "The One Moment"   https://youtu.be/QvW61K2s0tA?si=BA8_eE3nrbGhjgpr
• My favorite color: heliotrope, a vibrant pinkish-purple that is both fun to use in art projects and even more fun to say. 
• My favorite holiday: National Goat Day. There's some confusion about whether this falls on May 23 or June 20. To add even more confusion to the mix, World Goat Day is on August 21st. I personally recommend doing a 3-month celebration of goats beginning on May 23, and just keep on celebrating through June 20, all of July and most of August, finally ending the party on the 21st.
• My favorite book: "Oh, the Places You Will Goat" by Dr. Seuss
• My favorite movie: The Sound of Music (especially the part with the yodeling song about goats)
• My favorite TV show: Andor. It is some of the best anti-fascist storytelling and art I've ever seen. It's a rich, dark and hopeful (in equal measure) commentary that parallels the times in which we're currently living. If you too believe democracy is good and Nazis are bad, you'll probably love Andor just as much as I do.
