Sun Valley Resort’s Winter Wonderland

Sun Valley Resort

Throughout December, the holiday spirit settles over Sun Valley Resort, transforming our Village into a picturesque Winter Wonderland. You can hear it in the melodies sung by the Sun Valley Carolers as they stroll through our European-style Holiday Market stalls, and you can see it sparkle in the ceremoniously lit Christmas Tree. The holiday spirit glows in the torchlights that parade down Dollar Mountain on Christmas Eve and ring out in the fireworks that signal the coming of Christmas Day. From photo-ops with Santa Claus to festive movie nights at the Opera House, experience the timeless magic of the holidays at Sun Valley Resort.

AROUND THE BEND by LOLA

Hemmings Gallery

'Tis the season to celebrate!! We're wrapping up this year with a stunning new show--AROUND THE BEND by Lola at Hemmings Gallery on 340 Walnut Ave. in Ketchum. Each work features Lola's mastery of the poured resin technique and the alluring quality of this uniquely modern material. For over a decade, Lola has been working with tinted resin in her Bay-area studio. Each piece consists of layered geometric shapes with an emphasis on color & tone-- all on her signature drip-edged panels. It's high-gloss and hard-to-resist. For Lola, "I'm always dreaming about what's next. What will excite and inspire others. As I pour the resin, a form begins to appear on the surface. The challenge is leaving the emotional tone of the piece undefined allowing the viewer to find their own meaning in the work."
