THIS WEEK AT THE EMERSON

ART WALK FRIDAY

5-8PM

Chase DeForest, Out West

Jessie Wilber Gallery


Chase DeForest creates collaged and stitched leather artworks broadly exploring themes surrounding cattle, horses, landscapes, and the American West. She uses hides as a conceptual jumping off point for her subject matter. The artwork celebrates the history and many compelling properties of leather: supple, durable, flexible and fun. 


Chase was raised riding horses on a rural family farm. After two decades making commissioned custom furniture, she was introduced to the idiosyncratic world of custom cowboy boot makers. In becoming one herself, she discovered the many attributes and potential of leather. She has now also taken the medium from the foot to the wall. 


Chase has an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and presently resides in Livingston, Montana.

Leah Cupino, Geo-Erratic Behavior

Weaver Room Gallery


Leah Cupino once lived on top of a volcano and a score of other locations in her life, but now resides in Helena, Montana.


Her 20-year career’s worth of paintings include loose landscapes and topographical glacier abstractions and now includes a focus on the boulders within them.


Her subjects are united by her fascination with grand scales of time, as she colorfully weaves concepts of place, ownership and what it means to simply be a part of this earth.


Cupino is currently the co-founder of Omerta Arts, a studio-residency mentorship program and gallery where she also organizes her city’s Art Walk events when she is not outdoors with her family.


She has enjoyed residencies at Art Gallery Studios in Mexico City, CDMX, the Wolf Pack of New York City, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Virginia Commonwealth University, and her degree in Fine Arts and Commercial Design from Walla Walla University, and has enjoyed teaching at the Cittone Institute and CHI of Philadelphia, as well as Carroll College and Helena College, of the University of Montana’s Fine Arts Departments in past years.

Yuki Coyle, Hit the Road

Lobby Gallery


Yuki Coyle is a visual artist currently living in Bozeman, Montana. She enjoys many artistic mediums especially painting, illustration, and ceramics. In her free time, you can find Yuki hiking, traveling, or baking. Yuki is originally from Fargo, North Dakota and she finds much of her inspiration from her home community, and the places she encounters in her travels from there.

ART WALK AROUND THE EMERSON

There will be a Silent Disco in our front atrium! Silent Discos are a way to zone out, enjoy music, and dance in your own world! Music is transmitted through wireless headphones instead of speakers, and participants can switch between different music channels to create a personalized experience while minimizing noise disturbance to the surrounding areas. Basically, they're a ton of fun for all ages. Come find your groove!


Artist's Gallery will be open in Galleria Hall! This month's featured artists are Steve Perry, oil painter, and Boyd Carson, woodworker/artisan/designer/craftsman


Rod Zullo Gallery, Moreno Fine Art, The Coin Laundry Prints, and Verge Theater will all be open in Galleria Hall as well!

VERGE THEATER PRESENTS:

Stand Stark Still

Six short plays depict women at varied stages of life – growing older, looking back, experiencing isolation, wondering what is next – how odd it is to exist at all. 


Come experience this set of small masterpieces of modern theater.


Over the course of one evening, the audience will travel with the actors through space encountering the women at varied stages of life.

A GIRL NAMED TOM

The trio—Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty—notably made history as “the only group to ever win NBC’s The Voice.” Along the way, they’ve impressively generated over 25 million of streams across chart-rattling covers such as “River,” “The Chain,” and “Dust in the Wind.” 


The proud Midwesterners gained further traction with the independent release of Another World EP. Inking a deal with Republic Records, they served up their debut holiday EP, One More Christmas, which reached #1 on the iTunes Charts, andembarked on a massive arena tour supporting Pentatonix for “A Christmas Spectacular.” Since 2022 the group has been living life on the road performing over 200 shows to date.
