Welcome to the Emerson! Built in 1918 as an elementary school, today the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture is a thriving arts and community center. As southwest Montana's focal point for artistic and cultural activities, the historic Emerson fosters creative exchanges and celebrations for people of all ages, and from all walks of life. The Emerson is a community hub - a place for people to gather and create, work, and learn - be inspired, challenged and entertained. On any given day, our historic building is overflowing with activities and creativity - painters capturing emotion on canvas, percussionists drumming an African beat, limber dancers practicing positions, violinists rehearsing for upcoming recitals, children singing in French, writers' groups critiquing narratives, community groups brainstorming at a regional artists of all media. Our Jesse Wilbur Gallery is the only professional contemporary arts gallery in Bozeman. In short, there's something for everyone at the Emerson!
