Quick Draws & Cocktails: Emerson Homecoming

Grab your pompoms, throw on your team jersey and join the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture on October 5 for Quick Draws & Cocktails: Emerson Homecoming. The Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture is celebrating the 25 years of teamwork in making arts and culture accessible to the Gallatin Valley.

Meet in the 100 year-old Emerson Gym to cheer on local artists as they create original works of art. Rally for arts & culture by bidding on these works of art later in the evening, then gather for a little “post-game” celebrating on the dance floor.
