1 Deck Your Walls Deck Your Walls @ Gilman Contemporary Jan 1 – Jan 17 all-day Tickets Each December Gilman Contemporary celebrates the diversity of the artists they bring to Sun Valley with a dynamic group exhibition. This year the gallery teases future summer exhibitions including Carmen McNall and Mayme Kratz, who will have solo exhibitions in 2023. Also featured in December’s group exhibit are gallery newcomers Matt Duffin and Ghislain Brown-Kossi. Matt Duffin explores the themes of solitude and irony through moody and “neurotically meticulous” encaustic wax paintings. He uses the stark contrast of extreme light and shadow, as well as strong compositional strategies, to enhance his implied narratives creating works that are simultaneously dark and humorous. Ghislain Brown-Kossi’s childhood in France and Ivory Coast heritage feed his work as an archeological pop artist. Mixed dialects and cultures inspire his colorful, bold, and geometric work with hieroglyphic symbols emerging through sand. Gilman will also present works by local artist Jill Lear, Brazilian artist Thai Mainhard, and Hunt Slonem whose art can be found in the permanent collections of 250 museums around the world including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Pictured work is Carmen McNall’s “Enfold in a Greater Space #3”, acrylic on hand carved wood panel.	2	3	4	5	6 Piano Sun Valley 7:30 pm Piano Sun Valley @ The Argyros Jan 6 @ 7:30 pm Tickets Join us for the return of Kara and Peter Dugan to The Argyros, along with Sun Valley favorite Charles Yang from Time for Three, and jazz trumpeter extraordinaire Riley Mulherkar.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Concert will be postpone to a later date. Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards have a vision for their band’s sound: bold and elegant, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. Performing in trio configuration with Valerie Thompson (cello) & Zoe Guigueno (bass), these women produce music as rich and intricate as any symphony; as heartfelt and true as any country classic. Centered on the virtuosic string instrumentation of its members, Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards ties together driving rhythms, broad creative vision, and resonant harmonies to create music that sweeps you up in its current, carrying you away from your everyday worries and into the arms of its cathartic embrace.	20	21 Ulysses Owens Jr.’s Generation Y 7:30 pm Ulysses Owens Jr.’s Generation Y @ The Argyros Jan 21 @ 7:30 pm Tickets Drummer.
