Ginna Lagergren exhibits "First Snow, Baldy and Wood River" at the Heritage and Ski Museum in Ketchum. Two sizes of her giclee prints will be available for sale.

The Heritage and Ski Museum in Ketchum hosts a grand opening for its Bald Mountain Art Exhibit tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 5:30 p.m. Artists from across the valley will display work that features the magnificent ski mountain.

Artists participating include Will Caldwell, Lisa Holley, Ginna Lagergren, Steve Snyder and Barbara Walter. At the grand opening, several artists, including Snyder, will discuss the impact Bald Mountain has made on their work and on the history and development of the Wood River Valley.

Ginna Lagergren, from Hailey, will be offering her giclee prints of "First Snow, Baldy and Wood River" at the show and sale. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the museum. The giclees are printed on canvas with archival inks. The high quality of printing makes them look like originals, but because they're prints, they are more affordable.

"These prints represent the first time I have ever made prints of my work," said Lagergren, whose work "The Heart of Idaho," which depicts the Sawtooths, hangs in the Presidential Library. "It is the first Baldy picture I have ever done. That says a lot when I have lived here since 1971, painting over 50 years, and selling my paintings since a teenager."

The opening reception is free and open to all. The show will remain up at the museum until the end of March. Call 726-8118 for more details.
