Mountain Gypsy Studios is the Emerson's newest tenant. Owner, Elaine Hansard, creates stunning bronze work inspired by fantasy, mythology, and classic western themes using the lost wax technique.
"I want people to feel that passion that I have, that they are alive and that anything is possible. It's not just a creative piece. I want to make that viewer become creative with it, and bring their imagination to life."

"Main Street Palomino" by Edd Enders

Main Street Montana by Edd Enders
December 7, 2018 - January 25, 2019
Edd Enders is a Livingston, Montana native and prolific artist who has had numerous solo and group shows world-wide. Mr. Enders was a perfect artist to compliment the Celebration of the Arts theme as his work identifies with ALL of Montana not simply the natural landscape. "I consider myself a contemporary western painter. I am not interested in portraying the West as it's commonly idealized with pristine landscapes and romanticized wildlife, cowboys and Indians. I want to portray human's inevitable activity and impact on this region."

Urban West by June Billings Safford, Kelsey Dzintars, Edd Enders, Noah Massey
December 14, 2018 - January 25, 2019
Urban West
was curated to compliment this year's Celebration of the Arts theme - Argentina. Argentina is known for its lively street scenes and urban artwork. We aim to bring that same vibrancy to the Emerson's Lobby this December and January. The splendor of our state's natural landscape is a prevalent artistic theme. To capture the beauty and artistry also present in our urban environments, we've invited these four artists to create works which exemplify the richness within Montana's cities.
All of our galleries are free and open to the public.

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.  |
