About Us
David Racich created Emerson Art Gallery for the community and is present throughout all of Palisades Business Center. David named Emerson Art Gallery after his daughter, Emerson Grace, and opened this space to the artistic community to help artists best showcase their talent at a local level. The gallery takes no commission or fees when pieces are sold. Again with no charge, he allows the community to come together for gallery events and even hosts a regular concert series “Jazz in the Hills” during the winter.
