Maintaining Community Bonds Amidst Growth and Change
Join us for an exploration of the intangible aspects of life in the Wood River Valley that foster community.

What are the core elements of community that we can nurture to alleviate distress and enhance our connectedness?
Immigration’s Role in the Wood River Valley
From the early days of mining and sheepherding, immigrants have been a core population in the Wood River Valley. Comprising more than 25% of our residents and more than 40% of students in our school district, the importance of this population continues to grow, but remains largely misunderstood. Come hear stories and insights about their experience, how they thrive, and contribute to our community. This is the third event in the “Giving Though” Learning Series, which is part of the “it’s in our nature” campaign to promote the vital role generosity and nonprofits play in our community.

OPENING NIGHT PARTY- Around the Bend by LOLA
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.”
