Back to our Roots – Sweet Pea Juried Group Show in Jessie Wilber and Lobby Galleries, July 14th thru September 1st
Sweet Pea Festival is celebrating its 40th Festival! The past four decades have brought about many great changes to the organization and its annual events. This year, to commemorate the growth of the Festival they’re going “Back to Our Roots” at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture. A juried art show will be held in the Jessie Wilber (the old Sweet Pea office!) and Lobby Galleries this summer. This exhibit will highlight and give recognition to great artists from our region that have supported Sweet Pea and the Emerson for decades.
Bozeman Remembered – Photography by Charles Bolte in the Weaver Room Gallery, July 14th thru August 25th
Charles Bolte is working to depict the growth of Gallatin County not by showing his distaste for it, but instead seeking perspective of current longtime residents. He interviewed several Bozeman natives to capture a bit of personal history about this place so many are now yearning to call home.
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. Learn about these exhibits and other upcoming events at www.theemerson.org. •
