REKINDLING A LEGACY

Did you know that the Crawford Theater hosts events nearly 175 days a year? When was the last time you were in the Crawford Theater? Was it for a film, a play, perhaps a concert? OR maybe a child's dance recital, or a lecture. Did you notice the exceptional acoustics and enjoy the comfortable seating?
We are very proud of our theater, but it is time to rejuvenate the walls and the lighting! Our newest big project at the Emerson is raising the funds to repaint the theater, rewire the beautiful light fixtures, add three-phase power, and bring back features that speak to the original feel and appearance of our 100+ year-old theater.
You can help us make the Crawford Theater look as great as it sounds and feels! There must be hundreds of thousands of memories made in this community landmark. We would love to hear and share your favorite Crawford Theater story. Donations are always welcome!
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project.

Lobby Gallery from July 10 - August 28.

We are looking for inspiring gardens and homes for our 23rd annual Garden & Home Tour from July 24 - 26. If you or someone you know has an exceptionally beautiful landscaping or home design let's help them to show it off to our garden-loving community. We are taking nominations now! We are also looking for volunteer garden monitors.

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.  |
