For the week of July 31 - August 6, 2002

Take a walk, 
see the world in art

It’s time to trade in the hiking shoes for some slightly finer walking shoes, as Friday marks the August Gallery Walk in Ketchum. Galleries around town will have their doors open, artists in attendance and their newest art on display from 6 to 9 p.m.

Whether your interests lie with Western art, or photography, or more abstract painting, there will be art to please just about everyone. Gail Severn Gallery has painted glass sculpture by Therman Statom, while Kneeland Gallery up the street will display the work of several artists participating in Kneeland’s annual plein air event held this week. Anne Reed Gallery is putting on a group show of works inspired by the written word. In a similar vein, Larry Fodor’s work, at Friesen Gallery, is often likened to a literary form: Haiku. His elegant and sparse paintings hold moments in time. Marlies Stroes von Thun, who shows at Gallery Oscar, takes a different approach, employing bold and colorful oils on canvas.

But this is just scratching the surface of mediums and styles on display Friday. Thirty-three galleries will be offering art, some fine hors d’oeuvres and lively conversation. What more could you ask for?
