Concert: Freddy & Francine

Freddy & Francine are husband and wife singer-songwriters, but don’t call what they do folk music. It’s too energetic. Bianca Caruso, aka Francine, says, “We’re performers. We’re not just folk musicians who play and sing mellow songs with little voices … there’s screaming.” And don’t call it Americana, either. They don’t wear hats. Besides, Caruso says, “The minute you think one of our songs is an Americana song, it can turn into a retro pop song.” Freddy & Francine have played Telluride Bluegrass, and opened for JJ Grey and Mofro, and Big Head Todd & the Monsters. $20–$60: café-style seating, riser or balcony seating $10–$15: student riser or balcony seating

$10 – $60

Henry Whiting & Brent Hale in conversation with Idaho Public Television Producers Andy Lawless & Forrest Burger. The newest episode of Idaho Public Television’s Idaho Experience features the only Frank Lloyd Wright structure in Idaho, Teater’s Knoll. Located in Bliss, Idaho, Teater’s Knoll was commissioned as a studio and home by the painter Archie Teater and his wife Patricia in 1952. Join SVMoA for a screening of a program on Teater’s Knoll and early Idaho photographer Clarence Bisbee that IdahoPTV is calling “Idaho’s Hidden Gems.” Following the screening, Henry Whiting, who owns and lives in Teater’s Knoll and has overseen two extensive restoration projects on the building, will join Brent Hale, son of stonemason Kent Hale, who completed much of the studio’s meticulous stonework, in a conversation moderated by Idaho Public Television.

LECTURE: MashUp #2 — Death Masks & Sign Geeks

Sun Valley Museum of Art

The Sun Valley Museum of Art is collaborating with Boise State University’s College of Innovation + Design to bring their MashUp lecture series to the Wood River Valley. Inspired by similar programs at Denver Museum of Contemporary Art and the Palm Springs Art Museum, MashUps are designed to bring audiences together with lecturers to create new connections and linkages between disparate ideas. For each MashUp evening, two presenters will each speak for 20 minutes on a topic of their passion, and a third 20-minute segment invites the audience to ask questions and find commonality between the two disparate topics. The host and timekeeper for the evening will be Boise State University’s College of Innovation + Design’s Associate Dean, Jen Schneider. Tim Andreae is an artist, musician, and mental health professional working in Boise. He'll be talking about an art installation that invited people to create death masks, display them at Ming Studios, and then destroy them as a reflection on impermanence. Jacky O’Connor will be presenting on her work tracking down and capturing photographs of vintage signs, then finding and sharing their stories. $10 member / $12 nonmember

$10 – $12
