SUMMARY:Introduction to Photogrammetry: Turning Photos into 3D Art
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOPINTRODUCTION TO PHOTOGRAMMETRYSaturday\, April 18th | 1:00pm – 3:00pm$45 \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nEver wondered how photos can become immersive 3D objects? In this hands-on\, two-hour workshop\, participants will explore photogrammetry—a powerful and accessible technique that transforms everyday images into digital three-dimensional models. No prior 3D or technical experience required\, just curiosity and a smartphone. \n\n\n\nWe’ll start with a clear\, approachable introduction to photogrammetry\, looking at inspiring artistic examples and breaking down the full process—from capturing photos to generating 3D models and creative outputs. Participants will be guided through the photogrammetry app Polycam with live installation support and an overview of the apps strengths and limitations. \n\n\n\nThe workshop then moves into practical scanning basics: how to capture effective images\, work with light\, ensure proper overlap\, and scan safely. Participants will complete a live scan of a simple object\, followed by group review and reflection to better understand what works—and why. \n\n\n\nBeyond the basics\, we’ll explore creative and experimental approaches to photogrammetry. Through prompts and inspiration\, participants will learn how intentional “mistakes” like movement\, shadows\, and visual glitches can be used artistically to produce unexpected and expressive results. A dedicated 20-minute work period allows time to experiment and play with the process. \n\n\n\nWe’ll wrap up by exploring ways to export and share your work\, including 3D models\, augmented reality (AR)\, videos\, and still images. The session concludes with group sharing and reflection\, giving participants ideas for how photogrammetry can fit into their own creative practice. \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with: \n\n\n\n\nA working understanding of photogrammetry\n\n\n\nExperience using free mobile scanning apps\n\n\n\nAt least one completed 3D scan\n\n\n\nCreative strategies for experimental and artistic use\n\n\n\nKnowledge of how to export and share 3D work\n\n\n\n\nPerfect for artists\, designers\, educators\, and anyone curious about blending photography\, technology\, and creative experimentation.All experience levels are welcome.  \n\n\n\nPartial scholarships available by request to info@surelsplace.org.

SUMMARY:River Cleanup with Karl Erickson
DESCRIPTION:RIVER CLEANUPSaturday\, April 11th | 12:00pm – 2:00pmat Idaho River Sports | 601 N Whitewater Park BlvdfreePlease RSVP \n\n\n\nDuring his residency at Surel’s Place\, Karl Erickson will be creating a series of puppet-sculptures and experimental animations about waste along the Boise River Greenbelt. Join him and other members of the Surel’s Place community as we participate in the Idaho Rivers United River Cleanup to collect trash on the shores of the river for Karl to use as the source for his creations. He will then assemble these objects into puppet-like figures and digitize them using a 3D scanning processes. These digital “trash-puppets” will sing\, dance\, and tell stories of their unexpected journeys along the river\, personifying the entanglements that bring human-generated material into contact with the more-than-human.

SUMMARY:Exhibition & Art Talk: Bold Simplicity
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION & ART TALKBOLD SIMPLICITYFriday\, March 27th  |  7:00 – 8:30pm \n\n\n\nfree \n\n\n\nDuring his residency at Surel’s Place\, Hector Beven immersed himself in the parks\, riverbanks\, and neighborhoods surrounding Garden City and Boise. His practice relies on extended time outdoors\, observing light\, movement\, and the personality of place. He spent long hours sketching and painting along the Boise River Greenbelt and nearby landscapes\, returning to the studio to translate these studies into larger\, more meditative works. \n\n\n\nThis series of paintings embodies the character of the local environment–both the beauty of the natural landscape and also the energy and spirit Hector encountered in daily interactions with residents. “By emphasizing bold brushwork and expressive simplification\, I want each work to feel alive with the persona of its subject\, whether that be a tree\, river bend\, or overlooked corner of the city.” \n\n\n\nThis show presents the paintings created during Hector’s stay and sparks conversation about how an “outsider” artist perceives and interprets Garden City. His hope is that you recognize familiar places in new ways\, opening dialogue about the unique character of your home environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to Hector Beven’s Residency Sponsors:

SUMMARY:THE ONE
DESCRIPTION:SHOWCASE / Q&ATHE ONEThursday\, February 26th | 7:00pm \n\n\n\nat The Creative Space: 121 E 34th St. in Garden City \n\n\n\n$10 | General Admissionfree | Surel’s Place Sustaining Members (with Special Passcode) \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\nIn order to love somebody else\, you have to love yourself first. That’s what her mother once told her when she was 8 years old. Thirty years later\, Andrea wonders\, was she right? The self help gurus affirm it too! In order to find The One\, you not only have to love yourself\, but fall madly in love with yourself! Oh God…. In The One\, multidisciplinary performer Andrea Parson grapples with the notion of self love in an effort to find that special and elusive someone. A romantic partner\, herself\, something of the spiritual and unseen world\, or maybe The One is sitting right in front of her! Or maybe it’s a mangy cat who goes by the name of Couts.  \n\n\n\nThrough evocative movement\, storytelling\, and a clown sensibility\, Andrea juxtaposes her modern day search for love with images of a 14th century medieval anchoress. Who? You know\, those radical women who lived enclosed inside a small cell attached to a church as a bride of Christ. For real! Based on feedback and reflection from its initial performance in Portland this past summer\, Andrea has used the Surel’s Place residency to reimagine how she can tell her own autobiographical story through the further development of the Anchoress (whom she’s named Anna). \n\n\n\nAndrea invites the audience to join her as she weaves through excerpts from the show- in and out of a sacred\, comedic and personal reflection about love and loving. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nAndrea Parson is a multidisciplinary theater artist born and raised in Hillsboro\, Oregon.  Andrea pursued dance training at the Joffrey Ballet School\, San Francisco Conservatory of Dance\, and Loyola Marymount University\, where she earned a BA in Dance in 2009. Following graduation\, she joined Northwest Dance Project in Portland\, Oregon\, where she was awarded the Princess Grace Dance Fellowship in 2010. Over 11 years with the company\, she performed nationally and internationally\, garnering acclaim for her portrayal of dramatic characters such as Hedda Gabler and Carmen.  \n\n\n\nNow based in Portland\, Andrea creates and performs original solo and ensemble work that merges contemporary dance\, physical theater\, storytelling\, and humor. Her recent award-winning solo\, You Can’t Be Serious\, was presented at BodyVox Dance Center (2023)\, Oregon Fringe Festival (2024)\, and Hollywood Fringe Festival (2024). Andrea presented You Can’t Be Serious at the Fall United Solo Festival 2024 in New York City where she received an award for best physical theater. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to Andrea Parson’s Residency Sponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts:

SUMMARY:LETTERS ACROSS TIME: LANGUAGE\, CULTURE\, AND STORYTELLING
DESCRIPTION:ART TALK AND EXHIBITIONLETTERS ACROSS TIME: LANGUAGE\, CULTURE\, AND STORYTELLINGWednesday\, January 28th | 7:00pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\nfree \n\n\n\nat Surel’s Place: 212 E. 33rd Street in Garden City \n\n\n\nSetareh Ghoreishi’s work as a designer and visual artist focuses on language\, identity\, and storytelling through writing systems—particularly non-Latin scripts. This project explores the intersection of ancient and contemporary writing systems through typographic experimentation. During the residency\,  Setareh Ghoreishi focused on developing a new body of work centered around a self-invented typeface that blends characteristics of Farsi\, English\, and Cuneiform scripts. This process involves hand sketching and digital font design. The result is a series of typographic compositions that invite viewers to reflect on cultural hybridity and communication. The work investigates how language shapes identity\, preserves culture\, and visually communicates across boundaries. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nSetareh Ghoreishi (Michigan) is deeply rooted in the relationship between language\, culture\, and identity—particularly how these forces intersect through typography. She is a graphic designer and multidisciplinary digital media artist. After receiving her B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Art in Tehran\, Iran\, she migrated to the United States where she currently lives. In her work\, she investigates cultural disparities\, most specifically between the United States and Iran. \n\n\n\n“I am fascinated by the way visual language can act as a vessel for memory\, a tool for storytelling\, and a bridge across cultural and linguistic boundaries\,” Setareh elaborates. “Typography\, for me\, is not just a system of design and letters; it is a living form that carries emotion\, history\, and context.” \n\n\n\nAfter moving to the United States\, Setareh continued her education and acquired an MFA in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University and an MFA in Art and Technology from the University of Florida. This led her to make video art installation and use digital technology to explore the role of visual design in the interaction of cultural and social issues. Through the lens of her own experience\, each country’s cultural and social relationships are examined. \n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to Setareh Ghoreishi’s Residency Sponsors:

SUMMARY:BOISE'S BLACK PIONEER: ELVINA MOULTON
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION & ARTIST TALKBOISE’S BLACK PIONEER: ELVINA MOULTONSaturday\, December 6th | 7:00pm – 8:30pmfree \n\n\n\nat the Idaho Black History Museum: 508 Julia Davis Dr. in Boise \n\n\n\nMarshall Toomey’s paintings explore the Black American world through stories and portraits. He wants his colors to add life\, not just color to his stories. During his residency\, he will work to bring life to a historic event in the black history of Boise. He has chosen Elvina Moulton as his subject\, who is recognized as Boise’s only known Black Pioneer. Elvina was born enslaved in Kentucky in 1837\, walked the Oregon Trail from Missouri to Boise sometime around 1867\, and was a charter member of First Presbyterian Church in Boise in 1878. She will also be featured in an upcoming Women’s Labor History exhibition at the Erma Hayman House in 2026. Join us at the Idaho Black History Museum where Marshall will unveil this new painting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nMarshal Toomey (California) is an accomplished artist with a career spanning over 40 years as a painter\, illustrator\, and movie animator. He was born and raised in Kansas City\, Missouri but moved to Southern California in the seventies to pursue his artistic career. \n\n\n\nHe worked for 20 years at the Walt Disney Animation Studio with credits including the supervising character lead in the creation of the animation of Rafiki in the The Lion King and Quasimodo in The Hunchback of the Notre Dame. You can see the many films he has worked on at his IMBD profile here. He has also illustrated many books – one of them being the The Lion King book published after the movie.  \n\n\n\nMarshall describes his work as autobiographical. “My own style is blended with traditional techniques to create an enriched view of the life I’ve experienced. I placed myself in the scene along with other characters from my life. I am taking a look at the positives in everyday life; the perspectives\, traditions\, and routines of being outside of the struggles.”

He was born and raised in Kansas City\, Missouri but moved to Southern California in the seventies to pursue his artistic career. \n\n\n\nHe worked for 20 years at the Walt Disney Animation Studio with credits including the supervising character lead in the creation of the animation of Rafiki in the The Lion King and Quasimodo in The Hunchback of the Notre Dame. You can see the many films he has worked on at his IMBD profile here. He has also illustrated many books – one of them being the The Lion King book published after the movie.  \n\n\n\nMarshall describes his work as autobiographical. “My own style is blended with traditional techniques to create an enriched view of the life I’ve experienced. I placed myself in the scene along with other characters from my life. I am taking a look at the positives in everyday life; the perspectives\, traditions\, and routines of being outside of the struggles.”

SUMMARY:Art Talk and Exhibition: The Souls of Resilience
DESCRIPTION:ART TALK AND EXHIBITIONTHE SOULS OF RESILIENCEMonday\, November 3rd | 6:30pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\nThis residency is a collaboration with Global Lounge who is supporting music by Classical Queens during the reception beginning at 6:30pm. Art Talk at 7:30pm. \n\n\n\nfree \n\n\n\nat Surel’s Place: 212 E. 33rd Street in Garden City \n\n\n\nDuring her residency\, artist Yidan Guo focused on creating new portraits of immigrant and refugee women—rooted in deep connection: she visited Boise’s local immigrant and refugee communities\, conducting heartfelt interviews to infuse her work with their lived experiences. \n\n\n\nAt this event\, you’ll encounter these new\, high-quality portraits alongside existing pieces from her ongoing series Women Who Are Immigrants and Refugees. Together\, the works weave a richer\, more nuanced tapestry of the diverse experiences within our community. \n\n\n\nThis is your chance to engage deeply: explore the exhibition\, hear the stories behind the portraits\, and join Yidan for an intimate art talk. She’ll share her creative process\, the challenges she navigated\, and the profound insights gained through this project—followed by a Q&A where you can dive deeper. \n\n\n\nCome connect with art that honors resilience\, identity\, and the threads that bind our community. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nYidan’s journey as a painter has spanned thousands of miles\, from her birthplace in China to her present home in the US. This migratory experience has deeply influenced her choice of subject matter: women who are immigrants and refugees.  As an Asian immigrant and a woman artist\, there’s a shared bond\, a collective experience of navigating new cultures\, which forms the core of her creative exploration. \n\n\n\nAt the age of 15\, Yidan began eight years of rigorous training at China Central Academy of Fine Arts – the most prestigious art school in China and earned her Bachelor of Art degree in Chinese Painting. In 2005 she earned a master’s degree in Philosophy from Renmin University of China and a MFA from Idaho State University in 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis residency is in collaboration with Global Lounge.

SUMMARY:"Heavy Weather:" Garth Claassen Open Gallery Hours
DESCRIPTION:FLASH SHOW GALLERY HOURSHEAVY WEATHER with GARTH CLAASSENSunday\, October 5th | 10:00am – 1:00pm \n\n\n\nfree \n\n\n\nat Surel’s Place: 212 E. 33rd Street in Garden City \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTIST STATEMENT \n\n\n\nI work a lot in mixed media and often make pieces that consist of multiple\, regular parts. The layout is somewhat like the panels in a comic book or graphic novel\, and it implies a narrative\, although there is no coherent story arc. Sometimes small printouts of earlier works are collaged onto pieces along with related sketches\, other images\, and simple abstract shapes. I am interested in process\, specifically the exploitation of chance textures that arise during the making of the work. \n\n\n\nMuch of my work explores the tension between flat shapes and modeled forms\, jagged and rounded contours\, strong value contrasts\, and dramatic changes in scale. This sense of struggle and conflict prompted my exhibition title\, Heavy Weather. The bulbous white forms were partly inspired by Alfred Jarry’s King Ubu\, a comically vulgar and satirical play first performed in 1895. The flatter black shapes are partly indebted to Eugene Ionescu’s absurdist play\, Rhinoceros\, of 1950. The former play was probably a critique of imperialism and corruption\, and the latter is considered an allegory of the rise of fascism\, but I have made no attempt to illustrate the plot of either play. \n\n\n\nThe ambiguity of the imagery is not intended to confuse the beholder (although it may do that). Rather\, it is an invitation to viewers to construct their own stories based on what they see in my work. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nGarth Claassen studied art at the University of Natal\, Pietermaritzburg\, South Africa\, earning a BAFA in 1976\, with majors in ceramics\, art history\, and English\, and then a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Arts. \n\n\n\nIn 1982 Claassen was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study art history at Indiana University in Bloomington\, graduating in 1991 with a doctorate in the history of modern art. During his time at Indiana\, he continued to make ceramic sculpture\, and mixed-media abstract collages. In 1989 he returned to South Africa and taught there for five years. Claassen joined The College of Idaho in 1994. He taught art history\, life drawing\, and painting. His attitude to making art has been deeply influenced by his academic studies and teaching experience. \n\n\n\nClaassen’s work has been included in three Idaho Triennial Exhibitions—1995\, 1998\, 2011\, and he was awarded Idaho Commission of the Arts Fellowships for 2001\, 2009\, and 2023. He has exhibited at the College of Idaho\, the College of Southern Idaho\, the Stewart Gallery in Boise\, the Boise Art Museum\, the Visual Arts Collective in Garden City\, MING Studios in Boise\, the Art Association Gallery\, Jackson Hole\, Wyoming\, the Yellowstone Art Museum\, Billings\, Montana\, and the Prichard Gallery\, University of Idaho.

SUMMARY:Becoming Who I Always Was: A Graphic Memoir of Trauma and the Search for Identity
DESCRIPTION:FINAL EVENT & ARTIST TALKBECOMING WHO I ALWAYS WAS: A GRAPHIC MEMOIR OF TRAUMA AND THE SEARCH FOR IDENTITYMonday\, September 29th | 7:00pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\nfree \n\n\n\nat Surel’s Place: 212 E. 33rd Street in Garden City \n\n\n\nMaja Miłkowska-Shibata will share from her graphic memoir weaving together themes of growing up with a disability\, navigating a dysfunctional home\, and building a career within the healthcare field. The memoir follows her experience as a patient undergoing forearm-lengthening surgeries due to an infection in infancy\, alongside the highs and lows of her professional journey in health sciences\, which took her from Poland to the Netherlands\, across South Asia\, and eventually to the United States. Through this work\, she examines the lasting effects of medical trauma\, the intergenerational impact of addiction\, and the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. \n\n\n\nThe genre of graphic medicine blends the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare\, merging the principles of narrative medicine with visual storytelling. Moved by the power of visual storytelling to capture the complexities of personal experience\, Maja strives for an intimate and authentic account of her journey. Her graphic memoir integrates written narrative with visual storytelling\, including sequential art\, illustrations\, photographs\, and archival documents\, all presented in her own handwriting. \n\n\n\nThe art talk will be followed by a short Q&A and reception.

SUMMARY:Drawing from Experience: An Introduction to Graphic Medicine and Creating Autobiographical Comics
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP \n\n\n\nDrawing from Experience: An Introduction to Graphic Medicine and Creating Autobiographical Comics \n\n\n\n$45 | General Admission$35 | Surel’s Place Sustaining Member Admission (register with Special Passcode)Partial scholarships are available by request to info@surelsplace.org. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop with Maja Milkowska-Shibata\, we will explore the advantages of comics as a medium\, highlighting their various applications\, such as simplifying complex concepts to enhance understanding and knowledge retention. We invite participants to focus on personal encounters with illness and disability exploring the genre of graphic medicine. These applications will be illustrated with examples from published graphic medicine works\, showcasing various visual styles and diverse authors. \n\n\n\nAs a hands-on exercise\, the workshop participants will choose a memorable or challenging topic to transform into a short comic strip. We will start by developing a written narrative\, which will then be adapted into a script and illustrated as a one-page zine. Participants will learn the basics of creating comics and relevant terminology. No drawing experience will be required\, and participants will be able to use publicly available images for reference. \n\n\n\nAfter completing the comic\, we will discuss participants’ impressions of using a visual format to convey information\, share experiences\, and express emotions. Participants will be encouraged to complete and publish their works as zines\, which can be copied and distributed at Surel’s Place community spaces\, the local libraries\, or submitted to short comic calls.

SUMMARY:Mix + Mingle + Maja
DESCRIPTION:Come meet Maja and see some of her work on display during Happy Hour at Oldspeak! She will also have some zines available. \n\n\n\nMaja Milkowska-Shibata (Illinois) was born and raised in Poland. She is a public health professional and medical interpreter by training\, using writing and art to share stories and perspectives. Over the past few years\, she began seeking a deeper connection to humanity in her work\, which led her to discover the field of graphic medicine\, which uses comics to discuss health-related topics. Her comics have been featured in Sequential Artists Workshop Anthologies (2023\, 2024)\, as well as in the journals The Rhetoric of Health and Medicine (2023)\, Intima (2024)\, and Tendon (2025).
