Jessie Wilber and Lobby Galleries
Tad Bradley
"Biological Explorations"
September 8 - November 26, 2017
The work within this series is based upon Tad's fascination with the human body and complexities outside and within. From the imaging that allows us to see within the body to the senses we use to understand our environment, the work will reveal different scales of exploration. One of his goals in creating this work was to analyze how we as humans experience the world, interact with one another, and stand alone as individuals. Tad hope that the work creates curiosity, questions and conversation.

Anne KM Ross
Cut Loose: the Ramblings of a Meticulously Unrestrained Soul
September 1 - November 17, 2017
"Cut Loose" finds the middle ground between unleashed spontaneity and calculated, meticulous efforts. Anne's process involves specific preparation, mapping and shaping of the canvas, and before any piece is complete there must be a stage where simple physics take control. Anne becomes a curious observer of the dripping, swirling paint, and nothing qualifies as a mistake. Things that were carefully painted in are lost or obscured, and this changes her work for the better. It opens doors via new shapes and themes that emerge for Anne to react to and resolve the piece more masterfully than was possible before.
A reception will be held on Friday, September 8 from 5:00-8:00PM in conjunction with the city wide Art Walk.
All of our galleries are free and open to the public.

If you've ever visited the Emerson, you have undoubtedly seen the work of Duncan Kippen. Duncan hand paints the signs to label every tenant's studio and his paintings are on display throughout the building. Also, Duncan designed the award winning Emerson sign on the north lawn. Outside of the Emerson, Duncan is a seasoned mural painter whose works can be found throughout Bozeman, specifically in the Gallatin County Courthouse and Holy Rosary Church. Duncan's roots in Bozeman, and at the Emerson, run deep. His grandfather, Fred Willson, is one of Bozeman's most prominent architects and the designer of the Emerson!

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.  |
