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 the curators the ability 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 show will hang through January 31st. These works will be available for early silent auction bidding. The Celebration of the Arts event is on Friday, January 29th at 7pm.
