POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Join us for our 4th Annual Crankie Fest where we will explore extraordinary storytelling that takes us Out of the Box. A crankie is an illustrated-scroll in a box (also known as a moving panorama) that tells a story. This year’s artists and performers will take their stories quite literally out of the crankie box with unique puppetry, performance, audience participation, live music and sound effects.

Belgrade Shows | Belgrade Library and Community Center | November 7th
Bozeman Shows | Beall Park Recreation Center | November 13th-15th.

Shows are free, but reservations are required. Crankie shows are best suited for ages 5 to adult.

Show times, reservation links, and more information can be found at the link in our bio! by @emlyneharris

Enter the genius mind of Dr. Lizario in his open air Laboratory 🧪 You never know what this mad scientist has going on in his lab and what puzzles he is trying to figure out!

Dr. Lizario’s Lab was diligently crafted by Emlyn Harris (@emlyneharris ). She lives here in Bozeman with Bumi, a boxer mix with a permanent tuxedo and very large ears. She works at the Bozeman Art Museum as the associate director, where she also teaches art classes. You can also find her teaching around town, and she maintains her own art practice in sculpture and watercolor

Emlyn has always enjoyed sculpting and creating whimsical things, loving the challenge and inspiration of projects that push her creativity. Last year you may have seen her work in the village or at Crankie Fest. Her dad is an architect, so it's also fun to peek into the world of houses on this tiny magical scale! Follow Emlyn's work online at emlyneharris.com or her Instagram.

Bumblewood Thicket 2026 is now open!

Here’s a sneak peek at Dr. Leopoldo Lizario’s Laboratory of mad inventions…

I’ve already had quite a few critters stopping in to check it out! (And leaving some rather stinky presents 💩). The village is open Sept 10-27th and can be accessed from the Bozeman Beach parking area. Check out the other homes and businesses @random_acts_of_silliness and keep an eye out for the Laboratories full feature there soon! taken in Glen Lake Park by @emlyneharris

Happy to have a piece on display in the open clay space @tinworksart !

Can’t think of a better way to honor and enhance the process of making art than an open call. See the full exhibit, A Kin To Clay, until October 18th. taken in Tinworks Art by @emlyneharris

Dahlia is an avid collector of pretty objects and–like many fairies–she can’t resist anything sparkly, colorful, or curious that crosses her path. A skilled craftsfairy, Dahlia built her curvy cottage using clay dug from nearby riverbanks and decorated it inside and out with her found treasures. She built her furniture too, and is especially proud of her river glass light fixture which glows delightfully at night, making the floor sparkle even more brightly. A painter herself, Dahlia also adores collecting art created by dear friends to decorate her pebbly palace.

With a bit of fairy dust and mortar, things are starting to take shape! 🧚🏻‍♀️🌿✨

The veil over Bumblewood Thicket will lift on September 5th - see the village at Glen Lake Rotary Park and maybe even catch me on shift as a fairy warden throughout the installation! Find out more @random_acts_of_silliness
