Seeking Artists | Eagle Sculpture Invitational
Eagle Arts Commission is preparing for our first Eagle Sculpture Invitational. The only of its kind in Idaho, the summer-long art show will showcase professional sculpture artists around the city of Eagle. The show provides an avenue for these talented artists to bring their art to where the people are, in parks, pathways and downtown Eagle. The community-wide effort is designed to present new art experiences to not only the public, but municipalities, corporate entities and other potential customers and arts patrons.
The outdoor exhibition runs from June to October 2014. Artists with public art experience will submit up to six existing works for consideration by mid-April. A selection committee consisting of EAC board members, elected officials, city staff, community members and arts professionals will select the 10 invited artists. The artists will receive a stipend for the temporary loan of the work, insurance, and installation of their sculpture in early June. The artists will be guest of honor at a special premier party to be held on June 7, 2014. The exhibit continues through the end of September 2014. Click here to apply now.

ROB HART | Into the Wild
OPENING RECEPTION | Friday March 7 | 5:00pm – 8:00pm
The mountains of Central Idaho have been my passion for many years. Running, climbing, and hiking through such beauty, with my camera and a few good friends, have given me so many wonderful experiences, particularly in the Sawtooth Range – where I continue to explore the most remote regions, and chase the evening light.
There are no sign of camps here – no fire rings or tent platforms. This is wilderness, and it should be treated as delicately as possible. There is no reason, ever, to have a fire at high alpine lakes. The warming qualities of an open fire have long been replaced by modern fabrics and goose down. So, if it’s just the hypnotic television quality of the fire that you need, please stay with the motorhome crowds at the designated lakeside campgrounds. This place is wild – and should always remain so.
Lecture & Slide Show | Thursday, March 20 6:30pm – 8:00pm
Join us for a special presentation. Rob Hart, a photographer, writer, climber, hiker, diver, and adventurer racer from Boise shares his more memorable adventures of photographing the Death Hike, Rob’s own un-sanctioned, un-official, ultra-marathon that covers from between 25 and 90 miles in the Sawtooths a single day. Slide show, tall tales and photo tips all included. Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your seat 208-888-9898.
