SUMMARY:Idaho Gives: Your Support Makes Art Happen
DESCRIPTION:We support artists — and with your help\, we can expand that support to more international\, national and local artists who have historically been underrepresented or challenged to find a spot in the arts community.  \n\n\n\nOne of the best — and easiest — ways you can support artists through Surel’s Place is to donate during Idaho Gives\, which runs this year from May 1 through May 4.  \n\n\n\nThis is the kind of work your generous contributions support:  \n\n\n\nOur month-long artist residencies are life-changing\, career-making experiences\, and every time we can increase our stipends or supports we open the door to more BIPOC artists\, more artists with different abilities\, more artists from ALL economic backgrounds and others who face incredible hurdles in sharing their creativity and insight with the world.  \n\n\n\nOur subsidized year-long studio residencies give Idaho artists an accessible and affordable opportunity to invest in their own creative futures — and ensure that our community stays vibrant and energized by new artistic voices.  \n\n\n\nAnd our events such as the First Friday Art and Studio Strolls in Garden City’s Surel Mitchell Live-Work-Create District bring the community and the community’s artists together to forge new relationships\, new insights into how we can face our shared challenges\, and\, quite frankly\, have a lot of fun together! \n\n\n\n\nDONATE THROUGH IDAHO GIVES!

SUMMARY:Rafi Münz: Site-Specific=Spiritual Ecology and Spring of Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Artist-in-Residence Rafi Münz presents his work while he has been at Surel’s Place and gives an artist talk about his process and approach.  \n\n\n\nFree! \n\n\nRafi MünzApril - May\nArtist-in-Residence Rafi Münz and his host\, Boise filmmaker and writer Elizabeth Rodgers. \n\n\n\nRafi Münz ( רפי מינץ) comes to us from the village of Givat Ada in northern Israel where he has lived for more than 25 years. He is a freelance artist and teacher working as a painter\, sculptor\, illustrator\, calligrapher\, and printmaker. His works deal with social\, political and ecological agendas--expressing these through the personal experiences of daily living rather than global events.  \n\n\n\nRafi's work and studies have taken him all over the world\, beginning with The Bezalel School of art in Jerusalem and continuing with a Masters of Fine Art from the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. He also developed a specialty in printmaking from the Kunstneijverheid School in Amsterdam and Goldsmith's College in London.  He co-founded the Old Jaffa Artists’ Colony in Tel Aviv in 1964 and was active as an artist there for 30 years before becoming the managing director of the Kibbutz Art Studios. \n\n\n\nHeritage\, Studies\, Technique\, Experience... these are words Rafi uses to describe himself. But he finishes by saying: "The bottom line: Whenever possible\, I try to take myself less seriously." \n\n\n\nDuring his residency\, Münz led a workshop exploring the uses of found garbage as initiative & material for art works. They collected materials from recycling bins and transformed these materials into a mean for personal expression. \n\n\n\nFor his final event\, Münz exhibited his installation "Site specific = Spiritual Ecology & Spring of Creativity." Drawings\, photos & texts formed the basis for a series of paintings/collages interlacing Münz's experience of the Garden City community with the intentions & choices of the locals who guided him. He recruited individuals of variable ages\, gender\, and lifestyles to serve as his guides--emphasizing aesthetic views\, feelings\, and thoughts about recycling and sustainable living. The result was exhibited as several “autonomies”- telling peoples’ stories interwoven with his reaction to them. He used as many recycled materials as possible in the construction of his work. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O0w6_CVKh8

SUMMARY:From Eternity's Yurt: A Night of Poetry\, Philosophy and Music
DESCRIPTION:Poet Diane Raptosh returns to Surel’s Place with Hand Signs from Eternity’s Yurt\, a chapbook of poems featuring 22 sonnets. Each of the poems springs from a quotation by the British moral philosopher Mary Midgley\, who has a reputation as one of the most expansive and compelling moral philosophers of the twentieth century. “She thinks very much like a poet\,” Diane says of Mary Midgley. “The themes are very down to earth and contemporary: the environment\, animal rights\, civic unease.” \n\n\n\nDiane has invited Greg McElwain\, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at The College of Idaho\, to join her. McElwain published Mary Midgley: An Introduction\, which is the first substantive introduction to Midgley’s influential philosophy on the human condition. Joining both Diane and Greg is their musician friend Scott Knickerbocker who will punctuate the words with tunes on the guitar. \n\n\n\nFree!

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Powell: Introduction to Hand Printed Linocut
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, painter and printmaker Elizabeth Powell (Vermont) will lead you in the creation of hand printed linocuts focused on pattern. \n\n\n\nPeople of different backgrounds and demographics are encouraged to participate. Partial scholarships are available by writing info@surelspalce.org. \n\n\n\nAges 16 and up. Materials will be provided. \n\n\nElizabeth PowellMay - June\nElizabeth Powell is a painter and printmaker in Burlington\, Vermont.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe earned her MA and MFA in Printmaking and Painting from the University of Iowa in 2020 and a BA in Economics and Fine Arts from the University of Vermont in 2016. She has a keen interest in color theory\, patterning\, and the morphology of shapes as psychological representations of femininity.  \n\n\n\nHaving extensively studied gender inequality in her economic studies\, Powell explores the way the same sociological differences that lead to a systemic economic imbalance between men and women\, present themselves in visual taste for form\, pattern\, and color.Since finishing her MFA\, Powell has had solo shows in Iowa and upstate New York and is looking forward to her 2023 solo exhibition with Kishka Gallery in White River Junction\, Vermont.  \n\n\n\nPowell has attended residencies with BreckCreate in Breckenridge\, Colorado; InCahoots in Petaluma\, California; and the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos\, New Mexico. \n\n\n\nDuring her residency\, Powell led a workshop on the creation of hand printed linocuts focused on pattern. \n\n\n\nPowell exhibited her work and gave an artist talk at the end of her residency. Her work wass comprised of abstract shapes and patterns. During the pandemic\, she largely focused on creating small paintings because of limited studio space and a desire for easily portable materials. She used the residency at Surel's Place to explore how her individual works of art can exist on a larger scale\, focusing on two larger canvases. This continued expansion is fitting since this work developed during one of the most constricting situations imaginable: while she was immobilized during an illness. Experiencing physical limitations\, she instinctively began to draw and abstract the shape of her own body to reconnect with it and to reclaim it. \n\n\n\nAn overlying skeletal structure often accompanies these forms\, but they entered Elizabeth's work from a surprising source. "On a quest for plain\, utilitarian underwear\, \n\n\n\nI was pulled into the abyss of online shopping. I am fascinated by over-the-top lingerie\, which is both impractical and outlandish. I am intrigued by the way the fabric forces women’s bodies into geometric shapes\, as if they are packaged into a smaller container." It was after this\, the cage or net-like imagery became a part of the work\, informed by her studies in gender inequality and its expression in form\, pattern\, and color.
