Schools in the Gallery Docents Needed
We need to add to our team of volunteer docents for our Schools in the Gallery program! Docents get the opportunity to learn directly from artists about their techniques and processes used while creating the exhibited body of work and get valuable hands-on experience teaching youth in our community about contemporary art.
The Fall session will run from September 17 - November 16 with tours occurring on weekdays between 9AM-3PM for 1.5 - 2.5-hour periods. Commitment time throughout the session is flexible and based upon your schedule.

Cold Mountain Art
|
|
| |
Cold Mountain Art is one of the Emerson's newest tenants and can be found in our West Wing. Nature is inspiring, but the ways in which people interact with the mountain landscape is what intrigues Owner and Operator of Cold Mountain Art, Kevin Schwarting. Kevin shared, "I'm excited to be in the Emerson. What a cool place for creating art. I love the history of the building...it's really neat... It has great energy."

Jessie Wilber and Lobby Galleries
Lepidoptera Ceratopsidae by Louis Habeck
September 14 - November 30, 2018
These exhibits feature drawings and sculptures combining two different species - insects and dinosaurs. Mr. Habeck explores the marriage of these creatures by altering and merging their horn and frill structure as well as their decorative ornamentation. The Lobby gallery will show drawings of his unique species and the Jessie Wilber will display sculptures made from foam and resin. This is sure to be an enriching and educational exhibition integrating art, science and a whole lot of fun!

"Windfall" by David Lustig |
"Getting outside is good for the soul. Through my artwork, I try to bring the outside in. Using a variety of natural media, I attempt to capture a memory of nature and to recall its beauty and tranquility. I feel very lucky to be able to create art using nature's palette, and that it allows my family to get out and explore the rivers and forests of Montana." - David Lustig
Join us for the opening reception and Art Walk on September 14 from 5 - 8 PM.
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.  |
