EXHIBITS:
This December, the Jessie Wilber Gallery features a juried collection of original art donated by local and regional artists in support of the Emerson.
This inaugural exhibit allows us for the first time to honor and highlight artists who over the years have contributed their works to the Emerson’s most important fundraiser. Come and see how this selection of work captures the artistic vitality of Southwest Montana and appreciate the deep level of commitment to the Emerson reflected in the skill and creativity of our exhibitors.
The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture would like to thank all of the artists who generously submitted works for this show:

The show will hang from December 4, 2015 – January 31, 2016 with an opening reception on December 11, from 5 – 8 PM. These works will be available for early silent auction bidding starting the night of the reception. The Celebration of the Arts event is on Friday, January 29, 2016 at 7 PM.
