Emerson seeks art submissions of the festive & timely variety
The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture has announced two calls for art. Gallatin Valley artists have the opportunity to express their creativity for the 2021 Christmas Stroll Poster as well as upcoming showcase, Student Perspective: Reflections on a Global Pandemic.
Christmas Stroll Poster
In collaboration with the Downtown Bozeman Association, the Emerson is looking for a poster design that expresses the unique holiday spirit of the Bozeman community. This year’s winning submission will herald in the 41st annual Christmas Stroll as posters, marketing collateral, and join the beloved Christmas Stroll poster collection. The winning artist will be featured in an article in the “Official” Christmas Stroll edition of the Chronicle and receive $200. Submission are due Monday, Nov. 8th.
Student Perspective: Reflections on a Global Pandemic
The Emerson believes in the ability of art to tell a story, help us reflect, make us feel, to heal, or mark a moment in time. Now in the third academic year interrupted by COVID-19, this is an invitation for students to share with our community how pandemic times have impacted them. Students K-12 in Southwest Montana are invited to submit an original work of art in their own voice, reflecting on effects of the ongoing pandemic, their family, education, or community. Submissions in traditional 2-D and 3-D art, digital, written, or performed medias, and completed between March 2020 and the submission date of Nov. 17th, 2021 will be considered. The exhibit will show Dec. 2021 through Jan. 2022.
Submission guidelines for the Christmas Stroll Poster and Student Perspective: Reflections on a Global Pandemic are available at www.theemerson.org/call-for-art.
Located at 111 S Grand Ave., the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture serves as a primary resource for the arts, arts education, and cultural activities in Southwest Montana. •
