Join us for the Opening Night Party with the artist FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12/27 5:00-7:30pm. It’s the local gallery walk night and ’tis the season to celebrate! We’re wrapping up this year with a stunning new show–AROUND THE BEND by Lola. 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 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.

Ballet Idaho
Ballet Idaho is thrilled to be presenting an anthology of work at The Argyros this November. The program will be stylistically diverse and provide an intimate showcase for the artistry and athleticism of Ballet Idaho’s dancers. Congruence was jointly choreographed by Anne Mueller and Garrett Anderson, set to the music of Chicago-based composer, Marc Mellits. This piece is an exploration of creative synergy and collaboration between two choreographers, the talented performers, and Mellits’ nuanced musical phrasing. Terrance Marling’s Twice (Once) is set to the gorgeous music of contemporary composer Anna Clyne’s Within Her Arms. This is a subtle yet stirring piece that contemplates the afterlife, drawn from personal experiences of both composer and choreographer. Clyne wrote this piece of music honoring the passing of her mother, and Marling’s response drew upon his own near-death experience as a child. While the inspiration explores images of mortality and afterlife, this work is an uplifting and poignant abstraction of the human spirit. Danielle Rowe created For Pixie, inspired by the life and love of her own grandparents. In this powerful duet to the music of Nina Simone’s Wild is the Wind, Rowe explores the emotional interdependence between two lifelong companions embodied in captivating …
