This popular event features more than 40 regional artists and 90 juried art pieces.

“The EMERGE studio gallery is a space where all things ‘art’ can happen,” says board member and contributing artist Kimber Follevaag. “Creating, viewing, and experiencing art can be transformative; it’s important that it’s also inclusive of the whole community. The popup show creates a piece of thatin one extravagant night,” Follevaag adds.
In addition to art on display, there will be interactive art, live music, and dance performances by local and regional bands. Featured bands include Harold’s IGA, the Frantz Trio, and Jonny J and the FlatFooted Floogies.
