TINY FRUITS by SARAH BIRD

Hemmings Gallery

Opening December 12th, “Tiny Fruits” is a solo exhibition of oil paintings by artist Sarah Bird at Hemmings Gallery in Ketchum. Bird is an Idaho- and Oregon-based realist oil painter. She draws on nineteenth-century techniques and seventeenth-century imaginative Flemish perspectives to weave still life and landscape into intimate tabletop worlds that sometimes tip into the surreal. In her arrangements, both individually and taken together, one can also see the passing of the seasons and a loose calendar of a year, of a life, emerges. These pieces are the “tiny fruits” of seasonal pleasures and of painting. Bird paints only with a very small, size zero round brush which makes the process similar to egg tempura painting or needlework: the whole surface is carefully, heavily touched. Come meet the artist at the Opening Reception on December 29th from 5:00-7:30 pm, same night as the local gallery walk.

Looking Back & Planning Ahead: The Road to a Clean Energy Future

Ketchum Fire Station

Please join us in a conversation about our recent climate history, the need for our energy systems to adapt, and the current tools being used to address the climate crisis. We’ll provide some context on how the last 30 years of climate policy have shaped the reality we’re in today, and the next steps moving forward. It’s a critical decade to address our climate, environmental, and energy issues – but the opportunities to mitigate the worst effects of climate change are within reach. While individual actions alone can’t solve climate change, engaged climate advocates working together are essential to addressing this global problem! Please join us to discuss our energy present and future, while leaving plenty of time for questions (which you can also submit ahead of time). No RSVP or scientific background is required – just bring your curiosity and appetite for knowledge!

In the process they’ve defined an “Oakland soul” sound as instantly recognizable as those from band leader Emilio Castillo’s hometown, Detroit, as well as inspirations like Memphis and Philadelphia. Join Tower of Power at The Argyros on their Holiday and Hits Tour celebrating 55 years of grooves accompanied by a raucous party spirit.
