MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
We are BACK for year four and ready to light up our house with jingliest of bells and the tinkliest of tinsel. Holiday Noir is December 5 & 6, and tickets go on sale October 1! All seats are reserved, so you're going to want to get an early jump.
In a season saturated with nostalgia, Holiday Noir is a daring disruption that invites the community to embrace a more unexpected option.
Each year, the Emerson’s 730-seat Crawford Theater fills to capacity for two nights of memorable raucous. When the lights go down, the stage comes to life with jaw-dropping acts, outrageous characters, and unexpected cameos (yes, even Bozeman firemen have made an appearance). Every moment built with the intention to surprise, provoke, and most of all, celebrate our incredible local talent.
18+
Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6
Tickets on sale October 1
P.S. It's not too late to signup for auditions! They're next week, Sept 22, 23, and 24. Register here

The Quiet Mundane

Emma Bergman's The Quiet Mundane in our Jessie Wilber Gallery
"The Quiet Mundane captures everyday moments, creatures, and people from my life. My process is as much an approach to living as it is a body of work. Rather than viewing my life as a series of monumental moments, I am learning to appreciate the mundane, the repetitive, and the beauty of small things. Rather than letting the mundane slip by, I am attempting to bring the viewer’s focus to the little corner of the world that I inhabit. I believe by observing this, sitting with it for hours, and translating it into paint, I am elevating the mundane to something of importance, as something precious to be savored."

Not So Far Away

Russell Brausch's Not So Far Away in our Lobby and Weaver Room Galleries.
"A century of fire suppression, the loss of Indigenous cultural burning, and climate change have created today’s wildfire crisis. It is not a matter of if a fire will come, but when. Federal land employees work tirelessly with little progress, caught between containing fires and restoring damaged landscapes. As hotter, drier climates push fire back into the land through both destruction and controlled burns, my creative process seeks to illuminate this complex history. Through painting, burning, drawing, and textiles, I open different entry points into the wildfire conversation. My research expands on acknowledging and redefining America’s relationship with fire."

"Just Friends"
Animoscillator & Sex the Cat
| | Dan Haywood (Animoscillator) and Jacob Garvin (Sex the Cat) have launched a pop-up titled "Just Friends" featuring a collaborative apparel line in the Emerson's Galleria Hall! They will also be also installing an immersive installation of originals to check out. Only here for a limited time! | | NORTH STAIRS RENOVATION UPDATES | | |
Just look at this progress!
Please be mindful that the sidewalk to the north of the Emerson on Babcock is closed for the duration of this project, for your safety.
We are excited to partner with PRG commercial and the Historical Preservation Board of Gallatin County to transform this highly-utilized historic entryway, and would love to partner with you, too! Every contribution helps us land closer to our goal. With your generosity and a dollar-for-dollar match from Jenny Kahrl, we now only need $27,050 more dollars to reach our overall funding goal of $150,000!
Give today to support the necessary work required to keep our facilities safe, welcoming, and honoring to our history.
