Jane has exhibited and been a member at the Spring Street Gallery before. She has also been a founding member of Scenic Block Island – dedicated to preserving the beauty and heritage of the island.

Background music will play songs from her You Tube selection of “grandma’s songs rosie prince.” These songs have been part of informal sing-a-longs on Block Island that Emsbo loves to organize.
The Block Island Poetry Project, under the inspiration of Lisa Starr, spurred Emsbo’s intensive writing – some of which waits to be finished. Poetry from her book “Pinto Ponies” will be available at the exhibit. “Pinto Ponies is also available at Island Bound
