"The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys—and One Senator's Fight to Save Democracy" is a new book out in 2023 from journalist James Risen centering on Frank Church, a senator from Idaho from 1957-1980. Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community. The dark truths that Church exposed—from assassination plots by the CIA, to links between the Kennedy dynasty and the mafia, to the surveillance of civil rights activists by the NSA and FBI—would shake the nation to its core, and forever change the way that Americans thought about not only their government but also their ability to hold it accountable. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews, thousands of pages of recently declassified documents, and reams ...

FREE! Join SVMoA staff and docents for fifteen minutes of conversation about a single artwork in the fall exhibition Sightings every Thursday. Drop by, get your art fix, and check out our recently renovated galleries!
Enjoy a tour of the exhibition with The Museum’s curators. Living through the Covid-19 pandemic, Americans developed a new relationship to the night sky, looking to the stars for connection at a time of isolation. Located in rural Idaho, the number one state per capita for UFO sightings, SVMoA sits at the edge of the 1,416 square-mile Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve. Motivated by this geography and by local lore surrounding the possibility of extraterrestrial life, SVMoA’s fall exhibition considers our human experience of UFOs and the extraterrestrial. Rather than ask what those who report UFO sightings have actually seen, the exhibition asks why we look to the night skies for signs of life, and how we experience phenomena we can’t explain. Featuring commissioned projects by artists Deb Sokolow and Cable Griffith alongside work by Karla Knight, Robyn O’Neil, Ionel Talpazan, Esther Pearl Watson, and Timothy Wyllie. Refreshments will be served in the Museum classroom prior to the start of the tour.

CHICAGO Presented by The Liberty Theatre Company October 4-28 at The Mint in Hailey Written by Bob Fosse, Music/Lyrics by John Kander & Fred Ebb Directed by Naomi McDougall Jones Music Direction by R.L. Rowsey Choreography by Sami Bass Tickets at LibertyTheatreCompany.org The Liberty Theatre Company's production of Chicago will be an immersive experience, seating audiences in the den of a 1920's speakeasy and serving up a tall drink of glitz and glamor. Broadway’s longest-running American musical, Chicago is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine. Based on real-life murders and trials, Chicago follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband, Amos, to lie for her. Chicago is a musical spectacular that is as addictive as gossip and as unforgettable as any trial of the century.
