WORKSHOP: Botanical Cyanotypes WITH ASHLEY LARSON

SVMoA Hailey Classroom

Delve into the alternative photography process of cyanotypes and learn about their historical role in botanical illustrations. In this workshop, participants will coat paper with light-sensitive chemicals and choose from an array of natural materials to compose their own work of art. Watch as sun exposure transforms the compositions and brings the cyanotypes life. Each participant will leave with knowledge of the technical aspects of cyanotype creation and their own unique and captivating piece of botanical art. Students are encouraged to bring their own natural objects for making cyanotypes. This workshop will include paper coating during the workshop rather than using pre-coated paper. Age & ability: 16+, beginners welcome! THIS WORKSHOP TAKES PLACE FROM 1–4PM AT SVMOA'S HAILEY CLASSROOM. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Ashley Larson is an interdisciplinary artist based in Boise, Idaho.

Uncharitable Film Screening & Panel Discussion

The Argyros

Inspired by Dan Pallotta, whose TED Talk on charity was voted the most persuasive TED talk of all time, Uncharitable is a feature-length documentary that challenges us to rethink traditional philanthropy. It offers a powerful call to end the bare-bones constraints on nonprofits and allow them the freedoms given to business so they can affect real and lasting change. The discussion panel after the film will include: Sally Gillespie, Spur Community Foundation; Jenny Emery Davidson, The Community Library; Melissa Mathews, The Argyros; Brooke Pace McKenna, The Hunger Coalition; and, Jennifer Wells Green, Sun Valley Museum of Art. The film and panel discussion are sure to stimulate conversation! This event is the first in the Giving Thought Learning Series that is part of the “it’s in our nature” campaign to promote the vital role generosity and nonprofits play in our community. The film is co-presented by Spur Community Foundation, SVMoA, and The Argyros, and co-hosted by 16 local nonprofit organizations. This event is free to attend, however, registration is required.

Sun Valley Museum of Art

In Conversation: Will Wilson features tintype portraits Diné artist Will Wilson has made as part of his ongoing project Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX).

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 ...

They also create beautiful shapes, lines, and patterns. Participants will apply ink to native plants gathered from the Sawtooth NRA, lay paper over the plants, and use pressure to make beautiful botanical monotype prints. All materials are provided but participants are welcome to bring their own native plants. Age & ability: all ages and levels; beginners welcome! This workshop takes place from 2–4pm at the Museum in Ketchum About the Instructor Rebecca Schultz is the 2024 Sawtooth National Recreation Area Artist-in-Residence. Schultz creates mixed media works–including paintings, prints, installations, and public art–that cultivate a sense of wonder for the complex ecosystems surrounding us and reflect on humanity’s precarious relationship with the more-than-human world.
