Thank YOU for GIVING BIG!
When Difficulties Arise, Keep Calm and P(ART)Y On!
That's exactly what we did! Give Big Gallatin Valley Day did not go quite as we expected, but the Bozeman community rallied behind our local non-profits and persevered! Thank you to everyone who donated to the Emerson! And a special thanks to the Rocking R Bar for hosting the Emerson Donor Lounge. It was a beautiful day to soak up the sun and good vibes on the Rocking R patio! |

2nd story studio

We are happy to have Jennifer Richardson, owner of
2nd Story Studio, as one of our newest tenants in the West Wing of the Emerson! In Jennifer's words,
"In 2011 I was working full time and started selling handmade winter hats and bags at Bogert Farmers' Market. It took a couple years, but what I thought was just a part time hobby became my full time job. I couldn't be more excited to have wrapped up an eventful first month in a great studio at the Emerson. I feel my creativity expanding in this inspiring new space. 2015 was a very exciting year! I look forward to what this market season will bring alongside all of the incredible artists I have had the opportunity to get to know."
2nd Story Studio will be open during the Emerson Open House on Friday, May 13. Please be sure to stop by studio #295A to check out Jenny's collection of handmade bags and accessories!

INSIDE THE EMERSON |
|
|
Emerson History The Emerson is a thriving arts and community center located a block from historic downtown Bozeman. The building was originally an elementary school built in 1918, attended by thousands of Bozeman youth before its closure in 1991. |
Support the Emerson At the Emerson, we are grateful for the generous community support that allows us to serve as a vital arts hub in Bozeman. Over 250,000 people have come to the Emerson each year to attend performances, take classes, and participate in community events. |
Volunteer with the Emerson As a community arts hub, the Emerson relies on the time, energy and enthusiasm donated by community volunteers and interns. You can get involved by becoming a docent, by helping with events, children's classes or in our office. |
