Andrew Skorut and Mark Gibson, featuring Gunnar Tryggmo

Kneeland Gallery

Andrzej Skorut was born and spent his early years in Krakow, Poland before immigrating to the U.S. in 1987. At first glance his paintings appear to be simple landscapes but further study reveals that they are as abstract as they are representational. He reveals concealed depths within his surfaces through layers of paint and glaze, which he then partially removes with rags, sticks and other objects. Born and raised in Montana, Mark Gibson originally trained in architecture. This formal training had a direct effect on the architectural forms of the teepees that characterize his work. Gibson has been pushing himself to focus on purity of color and masterful composition, working to move the viewer’s eye around the entire piece. Most recently he has been working on increasing the scale of his works, which has contributed to his achievement of creating a powerful mood and atmosphere in each painting. Swedish artist Gunnar Tryggmo is inspired by animals and birds in their natural habitat. The values, mood and moment are the most important elements in the treatment of his contemporary watercolors.

Ketchum Town Square Open House

Ketchum Town Square

Ketchum Town Square was unveiled in 2010 as a vibrant and interactive space where the community could gather, socialize, and participate in various activities. Since then, it has become part of Ketchum’s social fabric, hosting countless events—big and small—and welcoming residents and visitors alike for coffee breaks or to sit by the fire after a day on the slopes. However, some of its infrastructure and amenities have deteriorated or are out-of-date. The city is evaluating plans to replace or upgrade parts of Town Square to keep it vibrant for years to come. Your input is invaluable to determining project priorities. Enjoy snacks and drinks and learn more about what needs to be upgraded at Town Square, why, and potential improvements plans. Your feedback will be collected and presented at the next City Council meeting later in October. RSVP at participate@ketchumidaho.org or call 208.726.3841 with questions

SVMoA MEMBERS: Exhibition Preview & Tour

Sun Valley Museum of Art

SVMoA Members are invited by the Museum's curators for a preview and tour of the exhibitions In Conversation: Will Wilson and Portraits of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, Past & Present prior to the Opening Celebration. In Conversation: Will Wilson features tintype portraits Diné artist Will Wilson has made as part of his ongoing project Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX). A direct response to the work of 20th-century photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952), whose photographs are also included in the exhibition, Wilson’s CIPX offers a critique of Curtis’s 20-volume The North American Indian (1907-1930), which was created to capture the supposed vanishing race of Native Americans. Curtis’ photographs simplified and romanticized Native American life. In contrast, Wilson has created rich, complex portraits that center Indigenous perspectives. Portraits of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, Past & Present explores portraits of members of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes made at the turn of the 20th century and today. In 1895, the Danish American photographer Benedicte Wrensted arrived in Pocatello, Idaho, where she established a photography studio. Among her clients were members of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes whose portraits Wrensted took until leaving Idaho in 1912. Unlike Edward Curtis, Wrensted invited her sitters to present themselves as they wished, and ...
