Hello Friends,
We miss you! The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture turned 27 this month. We missed celebrating our birthday with you and all of the folks that have studios and galleries in this beautiful old building. We missed musicians in the hallways, new exhibits, cake with strawberries, and most of all each of you.
The Emerson is slowly and carefully reopening. The past few weeks we have been deep cleaning the building, completing behind the scenes renovation projects, and preparing to welcome you back. When you visit please help keep our community safe and healthy - please sanitize your hands, maintain social distancing, and consider wearing a face mask.
Until it is safe for us to gather in person we have moved several of our art education programs to a virtual classroom. Additionally, we will be making decisions about our June arts education offerings later this week. We will post updates to our social media and website as information becomes available.
Lastly, thank you for your continued support during this unprecedented time. Your support affirms our belief that the arts are essential to the vibrancy and health of our community. Let's continue to move forward together.
Sincerely,
Susan Denson-Guy
Executive Director

Moments of the Infinite by Kelsey Dznitars

Heather Cromwell
Heather Cromwell is a visual artist working in mixed media. Her work explores themes of spatial dynamics within compositions that suggest rhythm, movement and urban geometries, while also referencing elements of the natural world. Surfaces of the artworks are worked repeatedly, and richly layered with pattern, color and texture conveying depth and the patina of time. Cromwell will have a solo exhibit of her artworks at the Emerson in the Lobby Gallery in May-June of 2021.
Cromwell has exhibited her artwork in group exhibitions at the Museum of Northwest Art in Washington, and at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, as well as locally in Bozeman. Her landscape drawings, paintings and pastels have been published in books. Cromwell practiced as an architect in Bozeman and Seattle and spent her early career years in New York City as a design professional, before becoming an artist.

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.  |
