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!

Join us for the opening reception of Seasons and Soliloquies, a solo exhibition by Zack Thurmond on Thursday, May 7 from 5 to 9 pm at IAG in downtown Boise.

Born in St. Louis and shaped by years in the Mountain West, Thurmond's work is rooted in a deep and enduring connection to place. Largely self-taught, with a BFA from Boise University, his paintings draw from direct observation, often beginning as small plein air studies before expanding into larger studio compositions.
Thurmond's work is held in public and private collections across North America and Europe. He currently lives in Idaho with his wife, two children, and three dogs, and serves as Chief Preparator at the Boise Art Museum.

Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and community in the heart of downtown Boise.

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.
