Hemingway’s Sun Valley & “In Our Time”
The Community LibraryDuring this three-part, seminar-style class, we will embrace the day as Ernest Hemingway did when he was in the Wood River Valley in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Join Sun Valley Community School English teacher Phil Huss and local author of Hemingway’s Sun Valley in a course that combines seminar discussions on Hemingway’s radical, innovative short story collection In Our Time and excursions to canoe Silver Creek and visit local Hemingway sites to learn about the local stories that connect Hemingway to the Wood River Valley and his fiction. Writing opportunities involve imitation of a Hemingway short story in microfiction that connects a local story and a Hemingway character, and nonfiction personal essays that manifest a principle of the Hemingway Code. No prior knowledge of Hemingway’s life or texts needed. Just a curious mind. Space is limited for this three-part class series and registration is reserved for participants who can attend all three sessions on August 3, 10 and 17. Visit www.comlib.org for times, more details, and to register.

Rivers Revealed—Uncovering the Hidden Pathways of Flowing Water with Lidar with Dan Coe
The Community LibraryLidar (light detection and ranging) is a technology that uses laser light pulses to create intricate three-dimensional models of the earth’s surface. These models can be used to create stunningly detailed images of rivers and floodplains. These depictions often reveal previously unseen channels where rivers have flowed in the past and invite viewers to visually meander along these pathways through both space and time. When visitors enter The Community Library's Wood River Museum of History and Culture, opening July 6, 2023 in Ketchum, they will be greeted with a lidar-derived representation of the Big Wood River, created by Coe. During this program, Coe will discuss the making of this image and will show several other lidar river images from the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Daniel Coe has been making maps and visualizing spatial data in the Pacific Northwest for the past two decades. He lives in Olympia, Washington, where his work explores the geomorphic history and natural hazards of the region. Daniel’s award-winning cartographic designs have been featured in National Geographic, High Country News, and the Atlas of Design, among others. When not making maps, he is usually out exploring the forests and waters of Washington with his ...

Join us for Gallery Walk at Gilman Contemporary
Gilman ContemporaryEnjoy the paintings of Carmen McNall at our August Galley Walk! California based artist Carmen McNall’s paintings are punctuated by deep woodcuts creating a balance between textured patterns and stretches of pure pigment. By combining painting with added wood carving techniques, the paintings are not just rich in color, but embody the idea of “handcrafted, " a theme that is central in her work through both process and subject matter as hands play a recurring role. The faceless figures in McNall’s work resemble Goddess-like muses as they rest in dynamic yet effortless poses. Each one embodying strength, confidence, and wisdom. The figures are adorned with a novel blend of symbolic patterns and mark making. They rest within their own elements, surrounded by a complex yet tranquil interior landscape that inhabit both ancient and futuristic realms. "My work tells the stories of female figures of strength, focusing on those who work with their hands; keeping alive the artifacts of humanity." - Carmen
