Emerson's Anniversary Logo Competition
We have a big year coming up! Our historic building is turning 100 and our nonprofit organization is turning 25. To celebrate these milestones, we are searching for a custom logo to compliment our current design for one year. Our purpose and mission is to serve our community through the arts and culture. The support of our community brought us to this milestone so what better way to involve our friends and supporters than through a logo design competition?

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.  |
