The Colossal Cinematic Showcase was born from a belief that movie makers should have an opportunity to show their movies on the big screen to their friends, family, cast members and crew, and the public. The Colossal Cinematic Showcase exists to provide a showcase for filmmakers to screen their works of art on the big screen. This biannual red carpet event showcases the work of filmmakers and is a cinematic storytelling of journeys.

We can't wait to see you in the lobby for the 17th Colossal Cinematic Showcase!

This class trains the human how to teach the dog. The theme of the program is control and enthusiasm. The ultimate goal is an attentive, enthusiastic dog, under complete control, that responds immediately and eagerly to all commands. The course is six weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands: watch me, leave it, heal, sit, down, stay, and come. Various training strategies will be covered in the course. The course will utilize the distraction of dogs and people to master the skills. This course is being taught by Denise Baxter. Denise is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Pet Partners Evaluator, and an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer. Denise has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1997.

Plein Air Painters of Idaho presents their first Virtual Art show featuring artist from across the state of Idaho. The show was juried and awards were given. Some of the art is for sale by the artists.

Creation’s Colors culminates from Elizabeth Orlovich’s artistic endeavor to
“Rebel against a world that seeks to snuff out hope.” Dealing with a chronic invisible illness, she finds hope in sunsets and her relationship with Jesus Christ; painting subjects of joy with all the colors of the world, she works to draw her attention, and now ours, to the beauty of life despite its hardships.

Reception is set for April 2nd from 4:30-6:30 on the 2nd floor of the Student Union Building. It will be free and open to the public, with light refreshments available. Hope to see you there!

This year’s Studio Art cohort has selected the theme of What Makes Us Human as a reflection of their love of hand-processes, an exploration of their identities and lived experiences, and as a defiant expression of their joy for life in the face of a world that is increasingly hostile to our shared humanity. Featuring works by: Ahmed Abouzeid, Ali Henslee, Ilene Antonov, Jordan Dunbar, Josie Carver, Kiera Edington, Marcus Hernandez, Bronwyn Hitchcock, Victor Castro, Ellie Wilson, Amalia Thomas, Gracie Kay Sosa, Casey Stitzel, Nalani Roberts, Gloria Pineda, Sadie Meyer, Rachel Mayhew, Natalie Masterson, Avamarie Madrigal, Audrey Ava Larson, Eden Erryn Hunt, and Jordan Boswell.

Artist reception is Thursday April 16th, 4:30-6:30 pm where light refreshments will be served. Event is free and open to the public.
