Emerson presents Art on the Rocks, Birthday Celebration
The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture has plenty to keep you busy before summer makes its triumphant return. Here’s a look at just a few events upcoming! If you are creative but need direction and don’t want the commitment of a multi-week course, the Art on the Rocks series is just the ticket. Grab some friends and enjoy a creative evening filled with step-by-step art instruction, socializing, and yes — cocktails! This is not your average wine and painting class. The Art on the Rocks series switches up the medium and beverages each session for those looking to learn something NEW and drink something DIFFERENT. Let your favorite poison inspire a new passion!
Classes are held the first and third Thursday of the month through August. Whiskey & Watercolor is next up on April 20th, followed by Vodka & Van Gogh May 4th and Moscow Mules & Marbling May 18th. Indulge in some Chardonnay & Ceramics on June 1st, then Gin & Juice & Jewelry June 15th and Saki & Origami July 6th. Beer & Batik is set for July 20th preceding Merlot & Mosaics on August 3rd and Prosecco & Plein Air August 17th. Cost for these classes is $35 each for Emerson members and $40 for non-members. The Emerson and Rocking R Bar share hosting duties. Must be 21+ to enroll.
Celebrate spring and check out what’s new at the Emerson with the annual Open House & Birthday Celebration on Friday, May 12th from 5–8pm. Enjoy live music and refreshments while viewing featured exhibits, visit with the tenants throughout the building, and shop in Galleria Hall. Adults and children of all ages are encouraged to come help celebrate The Emerson’s 24th birthday! This year, don’t miss a special announcement regarding an upcoming Emerson Celebration.
The goal of the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture is to serve as a primary resource for the arts, arts education, and cultural activities in Southwest Montana by stimulating and celebrating the arts in all its forms, fostering lifelong appreciation and understanding of arts and culture, and building community and economic development among creative enterprises, businesses, and civic organizations. The Emerson is located 111 S. Grand Ave. Register for the Art on the Rocks series and learn about other upcoming events by visiting www.theemerson.org. •
