Studio #206 I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE HEADQUARTERS FOR BOZEMAN LIFE MAGAZINE IS NOW LOCATED IN THE EMERSON CENTER FOR ARTS & CULTURE. While the walls are still a bit bare, there is now a place where people can pick up the magazine and drop in to collaborate. The space is a small studio, but considering that most of the work happens out and about around Bozeman, not much space is required.

There is a conference table that serves as a swing desk for writers, photographers, editors, and my kids. I am using an old desk that belongs to the Emerson Building. The space was previously used by a series of writers and before that, it was the main office for the Emerson Center for Art & Culture. We have some seriously good energy built in. A desk, a table, some chairs, computers and a printer. That’s it so far. Because I gravitate toward the nostalgic and tend to collect nostalgic things, I’m sure the space will be crowded soon enough. I love that we are now a part of the Emerson Center for Arts & Culture. The environment, surrounded by artists and writers, can only be conducive to getting the creative juices flowing and encouraging collaboration.

working from home in their pajamas, they’re often working from somewhere that ISN’T their home. They tend to try out a few different locations in a given year, finding monthly rentals and integrating into a place to see what it’s really like to live there. With remote work suddenly becoming an option for a larger segment of the American population than ever before, many people have abandoned their big city lives in search of their own true North. Setting off on the blacktop like a refugee caravan of Sprinters and Teslas, they’ve gone off to find the same thing the pioneers were looking for, and the same thing many of us were looking for when we came to Bozeman.
TOURISTS OR SETTLERS? The next question that comes to mind is: are they here to stay or will they voyage on to a final destination of Crested Butte, Colorado or Portland, Maine? We don’t have a definitive answer, but it’s safe to say that many will stay.
