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."

Nick Brandt – The Echo of Our Voices

Gilman Contemporary

Gilman Contemporary presents THE ECHO OF OUR VOICES, acclaimed photographer Nick Brandt’s poignant visual narrative showing the impact of water scarcity on a group of Syrian refugees, mostly families, in southern Jordan. Brandt’s portrayal is both respectful and tender, as he captures the resilience of the human spirit and the stabilizing effects of human connection in the face of adversity. Jordan is considered the second most water-scarce country in the world. The Syrian refugees depicted in these photographs were forced to flee Syria due to war. Now in Jordan they are forced to relocate multiple times a year in constant search of adequate rainfall for growing crops. Families are perched on stacks of boxes that aim skyward, implying a sense of strength and defiance. They also serve as pedestals for the individuals who typically go unseen and unnoticed. No longer able to avert our gaze, we are invited to look into the eyes of these courageous individuals and hear the soft echo of their voices.

Educator Evening: Ways of Looking and Thinking

Sun Valley Museum of Art

This Educator Evening is about providing paths for educators to integrate the practice of "noticing" or “close-looking” into their classroom practice. Participants will experience their own inquiry of noticing as they engage in various thinking routines. Drawn from Harvard’s Project Zero Thinking Routines Toolbox, a thinking routine is a set of questions or sequence of steps that can be used to support student thinking and learning. This event begins at 5pm at the Museum in Ketchum. About SVMoA Educator Evenings Open to educators of all subject areas, Educator Evening is a FREE professional development series occurring monthly. Blaine County educators may receive in-service (continuing education) hours for their participation.
