A juried art show will be held in the Jessie Wilber (the old Sweet Pea office!) and Lobby Galleries this summer. This exhibit will highlight and give recognition to great artists from our region that have supported Sweet Pea and the Emerson for decades.

Bozeman Remembered- Photography by Charles Bolte
July 14 - August 25, 2017
Charles Bolte is working to depict the growth of Gallatin County not by showing his distaste for it, but instead seeking perspective of current longtime residents. He interviewed several Bozeman natives to capture a bit of personal history about this place so many are now yearning to call home.

Billie Rose Agee

Billie Rose has called her second floor studio at the Emerson home for almost two years. If you attended the Emerson's Garden & Home Tour last weekend, you had the opportunity to see Billie Rose paint in one of the featured gardens. And, at the Emerson's Annual Open House & Birthday Celebration in May, you may have been lucky enough to snack on some of Billie Rose's delicious pancakes!
Billie Rose developed her love of nature growing up in the small town of Prunedale, California.
She developed her creative voice and honed her skills at Humboldt State University, graduating in 2015. Shortly after graduating, she moved up north to explore bigger mountains in Bozeman, Montana where she currently lives with her cat, Margo.

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.  |
