With the holiday season right around the corner, the Sun Valley Gallery Association (SVGA) is getting in the spirit of giving through their annual apr\u00e8s-ski Giving Walk. This special Gallery Walk will be held Friday, Nov. 25, from 4\u20136 p.m. throughout Ketchum and will support three local nonprofit organizations: The Advocates, the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley and The Hunger Coalition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Giving Walk offers residents and visitors the opportunity to engage with world-class visual art while supporting organizations that make a vital difference to the Wood River Valley during the holidays and throughout the year,\u201d states a recent release from the SVGA.<\/p>\n

SVGA is composed of nine member galleries: Broschofsky Galleries, Fredric Boloix Fine Arts, Friesen Gallery, Gail Severn Gallery, Gilman Contemporary, Harvey Art Projects USA, Kneeland Gallery, Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Wood River Fine Arts.<\/p>\n

Each gallery will have a collection bin where Giving Walk participants can donate throughout the weekend. The Advocates is seeking used clothing for resale at the Attic Thrift Store and new clothing or toys for their Giving Tree drive. To support the Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley, donate pet food or supplies such as dog treats and stuffed toys. Finally, The Hunger Coalition is asking for donations of canned or boxed nonperishable food.<\/p>\n

All three of the local nonprofits are instrumental to the community, and the Giving Walk gives locals a chance to give back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe feel the significance of the Giving Walk is to unite our community in the spirit of giving before the busy holiday season ensues,\u201d said SVGA president L\u2019Anne Gilman. \u201cThe Giving Walk is an easy way for the community to show support for any one (or all three) of these local organizations while socializing and visiting the SVGA galleries that work hard to provide new exhibitions for our community to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sip a glass of wine or bubbly while perusing the galleries\u2019 new exhibitions. At Gilman Contemporary, enjoy a curated exhibition featuring a selection of new work by Anke Schofield, Hunt Slonem and other gallery painters.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchofield\u2019s passion for photography is the foundation of her mixed-media works,\u201d states a release from Gilman Contemporary. \u201cAdjusting the scale of the photographic imagery creates playful compositions that typically utilize flora and fauna. Adding graphic elements and often applying paint on top of the photographs creates a depth and texture adding to their story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently on exhibit at Friesen Gallery is \u201cWEST WORK,\u201d an exciting exhibition by artist Piper O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018WEST WORK\u2019 is a celebration of the cowboy, a nod to the rugged West and a glimpse into our inherited histories through a nostalgic lens,\u201d states Friesen Gallery.<\/p>\n

Other Ketchum galleries, who are not members of the Sun Valley Gallery Association, will also be open for the upcoming Giving Walk. Head to Silvercreek Art or MESH Gallery to view more outstanding exhibitions.<\/p>\n
