Support the Emerson
Sponsorships
Sponsorship is a fantastic opportunity to support the vibrant arts community we have in Bozeman. Access to the arts and opportunities in the arts is integral to building strong communities, improving academic and professional performance, contributing to innovation, and supporting health and well-being.
The Emerson has over 30 years of history building community through arts and culture, and we would love to welcome you to partner with us!
We have a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities that that include scholarships for art education and summer camps, supporting our featured gallery exhibits, or sponsoring an Emerson event.

Support one of Bozeman’s most anticipated holiday events by becoming a Holiday Noir sponsor!
Premiering in 2022, Holiday Noir brings a fresh, exciting twist to the season each year, filled with mistletoe, mischief, and unforgettable performances. Featuring more than 60 local performers, this adults only (18+) variety show spans two nights of festive entertainment and consistently sells out our 735 seat theater.
With its unique blend of holiday flair, local talent, and a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience, Holiday Noir offers sponsors an exceptional opportunity to connect with the community while supporting the performing arts. Partner with us to make this beloved holiday tradition possible and put your brand at the center of the celebration.
Emerson’s annual Beast of Bozeman is a community talent showcase and competition celebrating the incredible talent in our local performing arts scene. Featuring top local acts competing for the audience vote, a cash prize, and the coveted title of Beast of Bozeman, this high energy event puts local performers in the spotlight.
With customized lighting, sound, and technical production tailored to each act, along with an engaging on stage host, Beast of Bozeman delivers a professional performance experience at no cost to participating artists.
Sponsorship makes it all possible. By supporting Beast of Bozeman, sponsors help create meaningful opportunities for local performers, strengthen our creative community, and celebrate the arts that make Bozeman unique.
Kicking off in May with a co-celebration for the Emerson’s birthday, this summer series is held on the second Friday of each month through September. Featuring rotating art exhibits in our galleries, an outdoor art market with local makers, food trucks, live music, and community activities, this is a five month opportunity to be standing alongside and supporting art and artists in Bozeman.
Additional Opportunities
In addition to Emerson events, we also offer opportunities that carry profound community impact behind the scenes. Scholarships, gallery exhibit support, Schools in Galleries tours, and our Summer Youth Internship Program all rely on the generosity of our donors.
Scholarships support our adult education learners as well as summer campers. We gift well over 100 scholarships each year and are so honored to steward these contributions.
Our galleries feature local and regional artists, rotating on a regular basis. Sponsoring exhibits furnishes the turnover and professional installation required to honor the work that each artist shares with us.
The longstanding program welcomes up to 14 youths to our summer camp program each year. They learn leadership, teaching and management skills, and are required to facilitate their own application process. Upon completion, each participate receives a stipend and walks away with valuable pre-professional experience.
