“People of the Moon” with Ted Stout
The Community LibraryFor thousands of years people mostly avoided the lava fields of Idaho. Artifacts indicate that native people passed through, but they did not remain for long due to the lack of water. Later the trails that the Shoshone-Bannock created around the northern edge of the lava provided a path for Oregon bound migrants and ultimately highway motorists. Eventually curiosity about this unknown area led scientists and others to seek it out. In the 1920s, Robert Limbert explored the area and shared his adventures with a wider audience through his photography and writing. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge established Craters of the Moon National Monument, ushering in a new era of National Park Service management. Three other presidents expanded the boundary, leading to a much larger Monument and Preserve. Ted Stout, author of the new book, "Craters of the Moon National Monument," celebrates more than one hundred years of Craters of the Moon’s history with this engaging presentation. To illustrate the presentation, Stout draws extensively from park archives as well as collections at Boise State University, the USGS and other institutions. This program will be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing. Books will be available for sale and a book signing ...

Mayme Kratz: Shadow & Substance
Gilman ContemporaryMayme Kratz is a mixed media artist whose work suspends found natural objects in resin. An observant investigator of her surroundings, Kratz collects these objects while hiking, camping, and even walking by the railway behind her studio. From native grasses to animal bones, her delicate handling of fragile materials create formal designs that elude to the cosmos. Materiality is both heightened and diminished as the earthen matter transforms into a macro ecosystem of its own.
