During this year's Give Big Gallatin Valley, a generous donor agreed to match all donation we received, up to $38,000, to help complete our roof project. We're excited to announce we were able to meet this entire match. THANK YOU!
We have contractors scheduled to begin multiple sections of the roof this month. However, we still need to raise an additional $28,000 to complete the entire roof restoration project.
Please consider a
donation today to help us finish this roof project!

Stone Sage Sheep
Zuzanna Karczewska
May 10 - July 5, 2019
Zuzanna Karczewska's work focuses on the various dimensions of place. She creates abstract, organic forms which appear to be living, breathing organisms. She uses local wool, plant dyes, stones, sticks, water, and heat to create unique works actually made of the landscape rather than just a representation. The color, energy, and texture of these pieces ground them to the environment while the process of felting and the use of local materials expand upon the concept of place. Looking at them for the first time, you can hear yourself thinking "What are these things!?", "Where do they come from?", "Have I seen them in nature before?". Come see, and decipher for yourself.

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.  |
