EDITOR’S WELCOME
and Danny Thompson, the memorial celebrates its 50th anniversary this month with a two-day tournament, concert, auction gala, and other activities. Belonging requires reflection. Our guest writer, Karen Day, has written a poignant piece about Idaho’s Indigenous history and personal identity. Her message about who originally shaped the land we all get to love is amplified by her Citizens’ Sacajawea Project, giving the community the opportunity to help erect a statue of Sacajawea in front of the Boise Capitol.
To belong is to be human. We are all connected by the universal thread of belonging—the need to be part of a community, a project, a vision. Some of us seek to belong through our work, family, creative pursuits, music, art, sports, the great outdoors, or through a shared meal. Our August issue of SVPN offers a handful of ways to connect with the vibrant communities across the Valley. It also offers a look towards the memorable legacies that have provided locals and visitors with a deep sense of belonging. Michel Rudigoz is remembered for his epic contributions as a coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team, a sports broadcaster, and owner of the Christiania Restaurant & Bar. His greatest impact was the way he made others feel; connected and eager to laugh. His memory swells in the hearts of many. We highlight two local culinary institutions: The Pioneer Saloon owned by Duffy Witmer and The Sawtooth Club owned by Tom Nickel. These distinctly Western establishments have become treasured places to dine, and more importantly places to gather, celebrate, and swap stories with the iconic owners. The fine arts scene in Ketchum continues to thrive, and Gail Severn Gallery has become one of the landmark spaces for art in Ketchum. Owner Gail Severn celebrates 50 phenomenal years, marking five decades of elevating emerging and established artists’ work and becoming a gathering place for the community to experience the power of art.

For three days, artists across the Wood River Valley will open their studios for the public during the 2026 Artist Studio Tour. The event blurs the lines between artist and art, provoking visitors to explore through thoughtful conversation and quiet observation. Don’t miss the exhibits at the Sun Valley Museum of Art this month or in Ketchum’s galleries showcasing local and international artists. Live music lovers will enjoy an inspiring interview with Johnny Gourley, the founder and lead singer of the band Portugal. The Man. In anticipation of the band coming to the Sun Valley Pavilion on September 6, we explore the motivation behind the band’s anthems, including social activism, human rights, and the environment. Our featured property is a new mixed-use building inspired by Ketchum’s history. The Fourth + Main project is located on a prominent corner in the heart of downtown Ketchum and is intentionally designed to reflect the character of Sun Valley’s past. It will encompass five individually designed luxury residences as well as prime ground-floor spaces for local businesses to occupy. The project demonstrates how new construction can honor a vibrant town, without redefining it. Peruse the SVPN Dining Guide that elevates the best of the Valley’s culinary offerings. It’s impossible not to find a mouthwatering place to enjoy each meal this summer, from cocktails to light fare to five-course dinners that will not be forgotten. To belong is to show up. And there is not a more beautiful place to show up than Sun Valley, alongside and in memory of the people who have made it what it is today.

LIVE MUSIC
PORTUGAL. THE MAN TAKES THE MIC
Indie anthems that bring us home to nature and each other by Sabina Dana Plasse
“It was all based on feeling.” Originally from Wasilla, Alaska, and now based in Portland, Oregon, Portugal. The Man was founded by Johnny Gourley, whose Alaska and Pacific Northwest roots are central to the band’s success and purpose. For over two decades, the band has released numerous albums and songs, including the Grammy Award-winning, timeless “Feel It Still,” which has become their calling card across the world. “This song represents so much of my childhood,” Gourley tells. “My parents were dog-sled mushers. We grew up off the grid in Alaska. We took baths in a tin bathtub. The generator went off at night. We didn’t have power or phones, but we had the radio and that song. We listened to music and sang along on the way to dog-sledding trips, camping trips in the middle of winter, and drives through blizzards.” When asked how “Feel It Still” changed his life, Gourley says, “It was a song I’d been working on for five years before it came out—just little pieces of it. I had this baseline, the Marvelettes’ ‘Mr. Postman’ line that I’d sing and play. That’s how I think music should be written, organically. We have thousands of years of song to draw from, and I feel privileged to interact in Indigenous spaces, around native songs and history.” Gourley’s deep connection to nature and place, especially in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, is interpreted through a cuttingedge indie music approach and style. Its a distinguished sound, vibe, and rhythm that indie music lovers crave and many are fascinated by.
“Portland carries the spirit of Alaska to me,” says Gourley. “I ended up here out of proximity and cost—I could afford closet space where I could write music. It’s got this independent energy. Alaska and Idaho are frontier areas—they embrace a libertarian idea of supporting each other, but I also wanna be left to my business and do my thing.” He adds, “Alaskans are very independent. The people of Idaho embrace this as well. It’s why I’ve always loved playing out here and coming out to these very last frontier areas of America and North America.” ADVOCATING FOR HEALTH, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THE EARTH
Many musicians have played with Gourley over the years, and the band’s extensive catalog has earned Platinum status, among other accolades. However, each Portugal. The Man album is unique in its approach and construction. The band’s commitment to social change led to the creation of the foundation Pass the Mic, which advocates for human rights, community health, and the environment, with a focus on Indigenous Peoples. In 2021, Gourley’s daughter Frances was diagnosed with a one-in-a-billion genetic disease called DHDDS, and the band established the nonprofit Frances Changed My Life to fund critical research to uncover new treatments and therapies for kids with rare diseases. The band recently released the song “SHISH” on their own label KNIK Records and is reckoning with their raw indie music roots. “When Kane Ritchotte and I sat down to start working on ‘SHISH,’ we talked a lot about what was happening in the world right now and svpn-mag.com

how it feels to pick up a phone and see absolute chaos in our news feeds. The song reminds us to go outside and feel the sun on your face, go snowboarding, or hang with friends,” Gourley shares. Gourlay navigates artistry and inspiration with great style and appeal, recognizing that change is not always easy and that complacency is not an option. Portugal. The Man creates and delivers music that reflects life’s progression, constant growth, and the search for the next chapter. “It’s this isolated Alaskan feeling where you sit with your thoughts, alone with these sounds. I wanted it to feel like being up on a mountain in Hatchet Pass back home,” he says. “KNIK Records is also about mentorship and passing on what we’ve learned to younger generations.

FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT Behind the legacy of Idaho’s big-hearted slugger By David Butterfield
Top: Danny Thompson at batting practice Bottom: Minnesota Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew

svpn-mag.com
I was only 18 years old when I was recruited for my first field operation for the United States Secret Service. There was a background check, briefing, and training on the mission. Six agents were embedded in the semi-crowded outdoor venue to assist in case something went wrong. My role was to meet a utility vehicle at one edge of the gathering, take possession of a proprietary equipment package, and transport it to a second vehicle. I was in position on time, there was brief delay, then I got the go-ahead signal. The 30-pound package contained approximately 14 tapered launching cylinders with variable trajectories, a payload compartment for projectiles, and ancillary guidance tools. I made my way quickly through the main populated area without incident and located the second vehicle. An agent popped open the trunk and waited as I secured a waterproof cover he provided. I placed the package in the trunk; he snapped the lid down smartly, followed by a curt nod. The vehicle whisked away, occupants hidden behind mirrored windows. Mission accomplished. I had carried President Gerald Ford’s golf clubs from his golf cart to his armored limousine.

Killebrew teamed up with eastern Idaho congressman Ralph Harding and nascent Sun Valley owner Earl Holding to create the Danny Thompson Memorial.
This was in 1977, at a cancer research benefit and golf tournament still held annually 50 years later. Minnesota Twins slugger, Harmon Killebrew (573 career homeruns), had lost a friend, 29-yearold shortstop Danny Thompson, to leukemia. Killebrew, from Payette, Idaho, teamed up with eastern Idaho congressman Ralph Harding and nascent Sun Valley owner Earl Holding to create the Danny Thompson Memorial. They were swinging for the fences and secured the participation of President Ford, Speaker of the House Tip O’Neal, and other politicians. Pro sports icons showed up along with top Hollywood stars. Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio were gallery favorites while photographers tried to get bald actor Telly Savalas in focus with Bald Mountain in the background. Adults loved hobnobbing and kids saw the legends in their sports trading cards come to life.

AMY VAN AUKER, KTM BOARD CHAIR
Over the years, the big names kept coming, and along with the golf tournament are fun activities for the celebs and a community concert. A good time, yes, but the heart of it all remains providing enduring support for cancer research and treatment. Killebrew himself succumbed to esophageal cancer and the event is now called the Killebrew-Thompson Memorial (KTM). Progress is being made thanks to the organization and other fundraisers, but the scourge threatens all. Many of us, personally or through friends and family, are challenged by the disease in some way. So we continue Sun Valley’s 50-year tradition, fighting the good fight against cancer.
“As a cancer survivor, I’ve seen first-hand how important research is to patients and families. The KTM has invested $25.8 million and those funds have helped attract additional support that multiplies our impact many times over. Year after year, the KTM family comes together with a shared commitment to helping others, and together we’re making a difference that reaches far beyond what any one of us could accomplish alone.”
HANNAH STAUTS, KTM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “We’re just as committed to this mission today as we were 50 years ago. There’s never been a more hopeful time in cancer research. We truly believe some of the most promising breakthroughs are just around the corner, and that inspires us more than ever to continue supporting researchers and institutions whose discoveries save lives.”

SACAJAWEA’S LEGACY A Lemhi Shoshone legend reminds us of what it means to be a native Idahoan by Karen Day
Let’s be honest about what it means to be a “transplant” trying to pass as an Idahoan. For most of us, especially Pacific Coast immigrants like me, this means negotiating politically tense conversations, a four-wheel drive vehicle that may never encounter the actual wilderness, and the eventual awakening that no amount of huckleberry pie or fly fishing buys an admission ticket. Born Idahoans have a sixth sense for it—they can smell a Californian across a Costco parking lot. It’s scorn, but with a fond eyeroll. My apologetic invader complex collapses, however, when I think about the actual history of who belongs to this ground. In truth, the oldest, least negotiable “native Idahoan” crown belongs to several Native American tribes, the most famous member being a 15-year-old girl. Enter Sacajawea, born in 1788, in Salmon, Idaho. If you strip away the red-white-and-blue myths and academic arguments over how Sacajawea is or is not memorialized in the expedition journals, coins, and museums, some astonishing facts emerge. In 1805, Jefferson’s Corps of Discovery was crossing unknown territory, running out of time and food, and in need of horses. A pregnant, illiterate teenager, kidnapped years earlier from Idaho by the Hidatsa tribe of North Dakota, proved to be the only person capable of saving the expedition from starving. Her recognition of her brother, Chief Cameahwait, turned strangers into friends gifted with horses, guidance, and survival beyond the River of No Return. Historian Stephen Ambrose confirms in his book, Undaunted Courage, that without the Lemhi Shoshone, the expedition might as well have turned back. Jefferson had warned them not to risk death. In other words: Sacajawea walked across 2,000 miles of brutal wilderness, in moccasins, pregnant or carrying a baby, and saved the lives of 33 men. 56

The reward her tribe received for that debt was disappearance. In 1907, little more than a century after she saved the men who mapped this land for taking, the Lemhi Shoshone were forced from their homeland and marched to the Fort Hall Indian Reservation—the “Lemhi Trail of Tears.” Of the more than 5,315 people enrolled at Fort Hall today, only about 500 descend from the Lemhi Shoshone. Today, as a minority in our country’s imposed Native American diaspora, the AgaiDika language survives only through aging elders and limited research. But this isn’t a guilt trip—it’s an introduction. A living rebuttal to indigenous obscurity is Idaho’s Rose Ann Abrahamson. She is the great-great-great-niece of Sacajawea through Chief Cameahwait, and the great-great-granddaughter of Chief Tendoy, the last Lemhi chief before removal. Rose Ann has carried her tribe’s story to the Smithsonian, to a meeting with President Clinton, into the U.S. Mint’s design of the Sacagawea dollar, and back to Salmon as a founder of the Sacajawea Interpretive, Cultural, and Educational Center. She

is among the last people alive to speak the language her ancestors spoke to Lewis and Clark. It is fitting, then, that Rose Ann is now calling for a bronze statue of Sacajawea next to Lewis and Clark, Twisted Hair, and eight statues of male politicians at the Idaho Capitol in Boise. This is where I come into the story again. For 20 years, I walked by those men in bronze, wondering if they would be standing there without Sacajawea. After a trip to the National Native American Museum in D.C. where she was again invisible, I decided it was time for a change of scenery in Idaho. Aligning with Rose Ann, tribal familial descendants, and Sacajawea Center supporters, we formed the Citizens’ Sacajawea Project. Together, we are erecting a Sacajawea statue next to Lewis and Clark and Twisted Hair in front of the Boise Capitol. The State of Idaho has agreed and all we need is $150,000 in taxdeductible donations. For me, Sacajawea has redefined what it means to be an Idahoan. My four-wheel drive remains relatively untested, but now there is another kind of belonging available—to anyone, anywhere, who

STORIED WALLS, HEARTY FARE, AND LOCAL LEGENDS Two iconic proprietors share the same creed
60
svpn-mag.com
LOCAL LEGACY by Lori Williams
In a time when Ketchum’s past becomes more obscure among modern developments, luxury condos, and wider highways, historic establishments become more treasured. Two beloved Main Street icons have aged well, transcending their commercial purpose to become a foundational element of local culture and lore. Together, they assure a steady rhythm of western spirit reminiscent of classic Idaho. Cheers to the guardians of two legendary institutions and their enduring rhythm and presence.
THE PIONEER SALOON It’s true what they say. If you haven’t eaten at the Pioneer Saloon, you haven’t been to Ketchum. We all knew this 80-year-old historic landmark was an American classic even before the James Beard Foundation named it so last year. Since it first opened its doors in the 1940s as a gambling casino, it has had many identities. It has been a bar, meeting hall, dry goods store, and since the 1960s, a full-service restaurant. The current version dates to 1972, when owner Duffy Witmer was an employee who bussed and washed dishes here. In 1986, he and then wife, Sheila, purchased the restaurant outright, and today, this town treasure remains a cherished family legacy, deeply rooted in Ketchum and its past. Witmer attributes the Pioneer’s legacy to his predecessors, the fate that brought him to restaurant proprietorship, thousands of Pioneer employees and guests, and a lot of magic. “It’s not my magic, it’s the magic of the restaurant,” Witmer says. “You can’t believe the stories and miracles that have happened in here. I could go on and on about how people’s lives, and mine, have been impacted by the magic between these walls. Everybody has a story that lives in here.” PHOTOS BY DEV KHALSA PHOTOGRAPHY

Inside “the Pio,” as it’s affectionately known, is pure rustic and western charm. The walls are covered with museum-quality artifacts, from Winchester bullet boards and birchbark canoes to Ernest Hemingway’s favorite gun. Western posters, sculptures, and animal mounts (including the largest buffalo head in the world) make every visit memorable. New to the collection is a massive grizzly bear shot with a bow in Alaska and fishing creels more than 100 years old with Indian lures attached. “I lost a little space installing the bear, but he’s one of a kind and kids love to have their picture taken in front of it,” says Witmer. It’s a rare occurrence, but the restaurant’s menu has been updated as has the façade, including the installation of 100-year-old glulam timbers designed to create a more classic old saloon aesthetic. “I just keep polishing the legacy, that’s all,” says Witmer. At the Pio, it’s not complicated. “Our formula is simple: atmosphere, quality of food, and service,” Witmer shares. The new menu includes budget-friendly options, from a $9.95 5-ounce hamburger with a free 16-ounce fresh lemonade or a $14.95 10-ounce hamburger with a free draft beer. Cheers to a legend that continues! pioneersaloon.com
THE SAWTOOTH CLUB Inside The Sawtooth Club, time-worn walls of knotty pine and a well-polished wood bar harbor decades of stories. When it was built in 1935, it housed one of the first gambling establishments in town. Shortly thereafter, it operated as an upscale restaurant and bar and was named after the Sawtooth Mountains to the north of the valley. Though it changed names and ambiance several times, current owner Tom Nickel reclaimed the original when he purchased the restaurant in 1986 from Ron Geuin. “I did consider naming it the Union Pacific Bar and Grill, but that was promptly rejected,” laughs Tom. For 40 years, it has remained authentically Ketchum, but with a touch of sophistication to forge a space that is both western and cosmopolitan. The brick façade, with a classy second-floor outdoor terrace (added after a destructive fire) warmly invites patrons inside, where mountain memorabilia adorn the historic walls and a rugged rock fireplace anchors the main floor to host locals and visitors. Ernest Hemingway was known to frequent The Sawtooth Club, feeling that it was here where he could talk with men of kindred spirits. It was not uncommon in these establishments for sheepherders and cattlemen to mix with skiers, celebrities, and Hollywood stars. You can still try the same cocktail Hemingway would order, named the ‘Hemingway Daiquiri,’ true to the daiquiri he discovered in Havana, Cuba, back in 1939.

McQueen was also a regular who daringly hopped behind the bar to pour drinks and shoot stories. Today, the Sawtooth simply offers unpretentious fine dining, serving the same mix of clientele as in Hemingway’s day. In the kitchen, the restaurant’s mesquite-wood-fire grill was the first of its kind in Idaho and remains a signature element. Entrée options extend far beyond traditional steakhouse fare, yet reflect the heart of Idaho with fresh ruby-red trout, wild game, racks of lamb, ribs, plus vegetarian fare and more. The Chicken Senegalese and Tom’s Mom’s Meatloaf are popular menu items. “We strive to keep it honest with good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service,” says Nickel. sawtoothclub.com

THE MICHEL WE KNEW
by Justin Williams
Over the past few weeks, many beautiful tributes have been written about Michel Rudigoz. Most have deservedly focused on his extraordinary career as coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team, his Emmy Award-winning contribution to Olympic television coverage, and the remarkable legacy he left on both skiing and sports broadcasting. Scotty McGrew’s tribute for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation was, in my opinion, one of the finest obituaries I have ever read. Scotty knew Michel as well as almost anyone outside of his beloved wife, Ellie Ellis, and through his words he somehow gave the entire valley its own memories back. Rather than revisit those accomplishments, I’d like to share the Michel I was fortunate enough to know over the past 15 years. The Michel who made every room he entered better.
64
svpn-mag.com
LOCAL LEGACY
At the height of his powers, Michel’s Christiania Restaurant & Bar wasn’t simply somewhere you went for superb French food, impeccable cocktails, and an exceptional cellar of French wines *naturellement.* You went because Michel was there. His restaurant was his home. The moment you walked through the door, it became yours too. Whether you’d been dining there for 20 years or it was your first visit, Michel somehow made you feel as though you’d been coming forever. Within minutes, you weren’t another reservation, you were a part of the family. Guests would actually wait for Michel to reach their table. Not because they needed anything, but because they wanted a moment with him. He worked a dining room better than anyone I’ve ever known. Every evening he’d weave from table to table, greeting old friends, making new ones, and somehow leaving everyone convinced they’d just had the best conversation of the night. Then you’d hear it. That unmistakable laugh. Michel was a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. His love of France, food, wine, skiing, and people came through every conversation in that unmistakable French accent that, despite decades in America, never lost its roots.
the smallest details reminds me of another story. One evening I asked Michel how he’d managed to win an Emmy Award. “Justin... come with me,” he said while marching me away from my dinner table to the display case near the restaurant entrance where his Emmy sat. He explained that while coaching the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team, television crews were setting up cameras for the alpine races. “The cameras... they were all wrong,” he shared. So he showed them where they should be, closer to the gates and lower down the mountain to show the race from the athlete’s perspective instead of the spectator’s. They listened and the coverage changed. That broadcast won an Emmy. Michel shrugged, laughed, and wandered away, Opposite: Michel Rudigoz Below: Milo in the restaurant kitchen with Michel 15 years ago.
The food carried his personality too. One year during the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, we were filming Chef Laurent demonstrating the restaurant’s famous potato gratin. Laurent carefully layered garlic, thyme, and rosemary while explaining every step with classic French precision. Michel wandered over, looked at the dish, grabbed another handful of garlic and scattered it across the top. “Laurent hates when I do this,” he said with a grin. “But eet ees the flavour I want. And eet ees the aroma people smell when they walk into ze restaurant. That ees what makes them feel they are in France. Usually I do eet when he isn’t looking.” Then he erupted in laughter and walked away, leaving Chef Laurent staring at the gratin in theatrical disbelief. It was vintage Michel. Cheeky, confident, usually correct. That obsession with svpn-mag.com

and I stood there staring at the trophy wondering what had just happened. Later I realized the Emmy wasn’t really the story. Michel had a Forrest Gump quality about him. Extraordinary things seemed to happen because he walked into situations, saw what everyone else had missed, offered his opinion without hesitation, and then carried on as though nothing remarkable had happened. That was Michel. Another story captures him just as perfectly. About six years ago, Michel invited me to present to the Sun Valley Dining Association, which he had helped found alongside many of the valley’s leading restaurants and the resort. He believed the valley deserved better storytelling about its food scene. I remember finishing my presentation. Silence. The kind that immediately makes you question every word you’ve just said. Then Michel leaned back. “Well,” he said, “if none of you want to do this, then I will simply no longer be involved. So... do what you want.” It wasn’t dramatic nor a threat. It was simply Michel telling everyone exactly where he stood.
Over the years, Michel became the connective tissue of Sun Valley’s restaurant community. He constantly visited fellow restaurateurs because he genuinely believed they should support one another.
Within moments, discussion filled the room and soon every restaurant had voted yes. Looking back, Michel never needed to tell people what to think. He’d earned the kind of respect that made everyone stop and listen when he spoke. As everyone left, he wandered over, grinned, and delivered one final instruction. “Justin... now make sure you don’t fuck it up,” he said laughing. Thankfully, we didn’t. Over the years, Michel became the connective tissue of Sun Valley’s restaurant community. He constantly visited fellow restaurateurs because he genuinely believed they should support one another. I’d often join him and Ellie at Cristina’s, the Grill at Knob Hill, Enoteca, and other valley favorites. Competition interested him far less than community. Another passion of his was jazz. Every Jazz Week, the Christiania became one of the liveliest rooms in town. Family and friends crowded around the Steinway piano, filling the restaurant with music and laughter. Then Michel would decide the band needed... a duck. As an avid duck hunter, he’d produce his duck call and enthusiastically accompany accomplished musicians with remarkably authentic duck noises. It should never have worked. Somehow, it always did. Like another handful of garlic, it was one more flourish that somehow became uniquely Michel. One of my favorite projects was bringing Michel together on film with another Sun Valley institution, Duffy Witmer of The Pioneer Saloon. My idea was
66

LOCAL LEGACY

simple: put two legendary restaurateurs in a room and let them talk. Michel immediately called Duffy himself. On filming day, our crew barely had to do anything. The two men swapped stories, teased each other, and effortlessly wandered through decades of Sun Valley history. When we packed up, someone on the crew summed it up perfectly, saying, “That was easy.” It was like striking a match, stepping back five yards, and watching the fireworks. If you scan the QR code on this page, you’ll see exactly what I mean. It captures two men who understant that hospitality is never just about serving food. It is about creating memories. My only regret is there is one story we planned together that we didn’t get to finish: Michel’s steak frites, or more accurately, the frites. Michel could spend an hour explaining why perfect French fries were one of the true measures of a great restaurant, right alongside an omelet or a perfectly soft-boiled egg. He wanted to introduce me to the Idaho farmer who grew his potatoes. We’d planned the photo shoot, but life simply got in the way. Looking back, maybe that story didn’t need to be written after all, because it was never really about potatoes. It was about Michel. Someone who believed every detail mattered because every guest mattered. Michel Rudigoz lived generously. He was a coach, an Emmy winner, a restaurateur, a hunter, a jazz lover, a mentor, a friend, a husband to Ellie, a father to Jean Christophe ”Biche” Rudigoz and Franck Rudigoz, and Bon-Papa to his five grandchildren: Milo, Harper Mae, Ethan, August, and Zoe. But titles never explained Michel. People did. Stories did. Rooms did. Laughter did. I’d like to think he’s still doing exactly what he always did best. Working
the room. Laughing before anyone else gets the joke or conducting a jazz band with one hand and a duck call in the other. Perhaps pouring another glass of Bordeaux or sneaking another layer of garlic into Chef Laurent’s gratin when nobody’s looking. And always welcoming every newcomer exactly the way he welcomed the regulars, making them feel like they’d been coming there for years. We’ll miss you, Michel. But somehow, I have a feeling heaven has become a much livelier place since you arrived.

Inside the building, contemporary design takes center stage. Imagined and executed by Nanci Warren from Warren and Company, the residential units bring superior design and functionality to the living experience.

A palette of warm, earthy tones and tranquil greys allows owners to furnish and decorate their home with ease. The residences’ views are as central to the design as the ambiance. The layouts and sightlines optimize views that look west towards the steep, cinematic ridgeline of Bald Mountain while north-facing views unfold to Knob Hill, Glassford Mountain, and Griffin’s Butte. South-facing views look down-valley towards Mindbender and the cliffs and mountains that surround the Elkhorn area, and the east-facing views draw the eye out towards Trail Creek and beyond.

MARVELOUS MIGRATION by Lori Williams
Sawtooth Salmon Festival celebrates the homecoming run
The return of the salmon to their natal spawning streams in the Sawtooth Valley represents one of the most magnificent feats in all of nature. Driven by instinct and surviving solely on stored body fat and muscle for energy, the salmon swim 900 miles from the Pacific Ocean and climb 6,500 feet in elevation to spawn in the exact stream where they were hatched. The journey involves navigating eight major dams, battling powerful currents, scaling waterfalls, and dodging hungry predators. Salmon runs are declining year after year in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), and the fish are currently on a path of slow but certain extinction. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 wild chinook and about 200 Redfish Lake sockeye, perhaps 20 of which might be wild, are expected to return to the Sawtooth Valley. The run continues to ignite a sense of awe and wonder each year. The Sawtooth Salmon Festival was created 25 years ago to champion the

Hosted by Idaho Rivers United (IRU) and the Sawtooth Interpretive Historical Association (SIHA), the festival takes place over three days, and includes salmon viewing tours, tribal dances, expert talks, kids activities, live music, artists, vendors, and more. “Our primary goal is public education and what’s needed now to restore abundant salmon populations to local waters,” says IRU board member Tom Stuart. “Wild chinook, sockeye, and steelhead are essential to the ecology, culture, history, and vitality of the Stanley Basin and the SNRA.” August is the historical peak of adult salmon returning to the headwaters and the Saturday morning salmon tours are a definite highlight. “There is so much to see and learn throughout this weekend,” says SIHA Executive Director Lin Gray. “We hope folks will come out and join us.” 80

INTERIOR DESIGN
STYLE DIAL They say that fortune favors the bold. When it comes to interior design, bold style choices can create beautiful and rewarding results. This summer season, Sun Valley designers are opting for vibrant statement walls, powder rooms with pizzazz, and geometric dining tables that disrupt the expected. Inspiring and impactful, these curated spaces feel as good as they look.
DESIGN DISRUPTED Break free from the expected. This outdoor dining collection transforms everyday gatherings into a statement of modern design featuring interesting shapes, bold geometry, and refined craftsmanship. Sculpted rather than assembled, this grouping challenges traditional outdoor furniture with organic silhouettes that blend with their surroundings.

PERFECT ACCENT This powder bath design began with a statement marble vanity made to perfectly fit the small space. Our clients selected this bold wallpaper, and our design team added the vintage prayer rug to create just the right amount of color and pizzazz that we think every powder room deserves.

COLOR IN FOCUS Many of our projects begin with a piece of artwork, a collected object, or a color a client loves. Rather than carrying that boldness throughout the entire room, we use it as a focal point and allow the design to take shape around it. In this space, the chartreuse accents in the sculptural chair and a vibrant piece of art create a visual connection without overwhelming the room. By using color and statement pieces with restraint, the result feels more intentional and refined. It’s a reminder that bold design moments don’t have to dominate a space to make a lasting impact.

Launched in 2025, Studio Boden is an interior design firm founded and led by Erika Blank and Rosemary Spiller. After working together for five years at a local retail and design firm, they forged their individual talents and natural chemistry into a business of their own. “We’re both senior designers and we both work on every project together at Studio Boden,” says Blank. “All of our clients are being taken care of at an expert level with us by their side each step of the way, from curating mood boards and finishes to selecting furniture and deciding how each room is utilized.” Alongside their project manager and co-founder Killarney Loufek, they design deeply thoughtful and functional residential spaces across Sun Valley. Their philosophy is to build living experiences that integrate architecture, location, and a client’s unique 144

personality and lifestyle. They carefully consider each design decision to honor their clients’ desires, vibe, and perspectives to execute a space that is unmistakably their own. “We really try to drive people to what they inherently like and not necessarily what trends are happening,” says Spiller. “If you love something, it doesn’t matter if it follows a trend or not, it’s going to have longevity.” Studio Boden works with both architects and builders, ideally from the beginning of a project, to create intentional homes that consider every detail from the get-go. “It’s better to have an interior designer in your back pocket as close to the beginning of the home design process as you can,” shares Spiller. “Hire your architect, your designer, and then your builder.”
INTERIOR DESIGN
THE SOUL OF STUDIO BODEN Rosemary brings her Southern style to the studio, selecting colorful and eclectic designs that add something unexpected to the space. Erika’s ability to balance the creative and technical aspects of a project results in clean, beautiful, and functional spaces. Killarney is the behind-the-scenes mastermind who is responsible for project execution and procurement, so the client’s vision is met to perfection.
svpn-mag.com
145
Whether a home is lived in year-round or enjoyed as a vacation retreat, Studio Boden believes great design should adapt to the way people actually live. Many of their clients regularly host children, grandchildren, and groups of friends, so flexibility is thoughtfully woven into every project without sacrificing beauty or comfort. Rather than designing rooms with a single purpose, the team looks for opportunities to create spaces that evolve effortlessly. A media room may become a private guest suite with concealed pocket doors, an office can comfortably accommodate overnight visitors with a well-designed sleeper sofa, and a bunk room can feel sophisticated enough for adults with the addition of larger beds, while remaining fun for children. Every decision is made with the homeowner’s everyday lifestyle in mind first, while ensuring the home can graciously welcome guests whenever needed. That same philosophy carries through to the furnishings. Rosemary and Erika encourage clients to invest in timeless, high-quality pieces with classic silhouettes, layering in personality through artwork, textiles, and accessories that can naturally evolve over time. Flexible furniture, thoughtful storage, and carefully planned layouts allow spaces to shift with changing needs while maintaining a refined, collected feel. “We’re always thinking about how a home will be lived in 5, 10, or even 20 years from now,” says Blank. “The spaces should feel purposeful for our clients’ daily lives first, while adapting to life’s different seasons without ever feeling like a compromise.”
“A home should feel purposeful for our clients’ daily lives while adapting to life’s different seasons without ever feeling like a compromise.” —Erika Blank
For Studio Boden, successful design is never about following trends or creating spaces that simply photograph well. It is about crafting homes that feel personal, support the rhythms of everyday life, and invite people to gather. The result is a true refuge that feels beautiful today and remains just as meaningful for years to come. studioboden.com

NAVIGATING CONFLICTING HEALTH ADVICE
A guide for patients and families by Joy Prudek, Public Relations & Communications Business Manager, St. Luke’s Wood River
In today’s world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice. If you’ve ever wondered, “Whom should I trust?” you’re not alone. Many people encounter different recommendations on the same topic, especially around vaccines, new treatments, or trending wellness ideas. Maybe you’ve seen two different articles about the same topic or heard conflicting advice from friends and online sources. The good news is that there are practical ways to make sense of what you’re hearing and to feel more confident in your decisions. “Patients come in every day with thoughtful questions about something they’ve seen or heard,” says Leigh Morse, MD, Family Medicine at St. Luke’s Wood River. “That’s a good thing. It means they’re engaged in their health.”
148
svpn-mag.com
WELLNESS
WHY DOES HEALTH ADVICE DIFFER? There are a few reasons you may hear different perspectives. First, information is everywhere. It’s shared across websites, podcasts, social media platforms, and increasingly, AI tools. While much of it can be helpful, not all of it is accurate or tailored to you. What works for one person may not be right for another. Age, medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences all play a role. Nowadays, anyone can post advice online regardless of their qualifications, which can make it harder to tell what’s credible and what’s not. It is important to know that there is a lot of misleading information out there. “Social media and even AI can be great starting points,” Morse says. “But they shouldn’t be your only source. It’s important
to check what you’re seeing and talk with someone who understands your individual health.” Science is constantly evolving, causing medical recommendations to change as researchers discover more. What was considered best practice a few years ago may be updated as new evidence becomes available. It also helps to consider the quality of the evidence behind recommendations. “Healthcare is always advancing,” Morse says. “When guidance changes, it’s usually because we have better, more complete information, not because anyone was trying to mislead patients before.” svpn-mag.com
149
HOW TO SPOT RELIABLE INFORMATION Understanding why advice differs is one step. The next is knowing how to evaluate what you’re seeing. When you come across a new health claim, a few simple checks can help you evaluate it. Look at the source. Trusted organizations, such as national health agencies, medical associations, and established health systems, base their information on solid research and expert reviews. Be cautious with quick fixes. Claims that sound too good to be true often are. Medicine rarely offers one-size-fits-all solutions. Consider whether it applies to you. Your health history is unique. Information that helped someone else may not be right for your situation.
“Bringing what you’ve found into your appointment is one of the most helpful things you can do,” Morse says. “We can look at it together and talk through what applies to you and what doesn’t.”
150
svpn-mag.com
WELLNESS
IT’S OKAY TO ASK QUESTIONS Some people hesitate to bring up information they’ve found online. They may worry about being judged or dismissed. But open conversations are a key part of good care. “There’s no such thing as a wrong question,” Morse says. “We would much rather talk through your concerns than have you leave unsure or worried.” A strong relationship with your primary care provider is built on trust and communication. You should feel comfortable asking for clarification, sharing concerns, and even challenging something you don’t fully understand. “Healthcare works best when it’s a partnership,” Morse adds. “Your voice matters.”
PREPARING FOR YOUR VISIT Appointments can feel short, especially if you have several questions. A little preparation can help you make the most of your time. Write down your questions in advance. This helps you stay focused and ensures you don’t forget anything important. Bring what you’ve seen. Whether it’s an article, a screenshot, or a note about something you heard, sharing the exact source helps your provider respond more clearly. Prioritize your top concerns. If time is limited, focus on the issues that matter most to you. Consider bringing a support person. A trusted friend or
family member can help you listen, ask questions, and remember the discussion afterward. Knowing how to start the conversation can also make things easier. Here are a few types of questions that invite collaboration rather than confrontation. They signal that you’re looking to understand, not argue, and they can help your provider respond thoughtfully. “I read something recently that made me curious. Can we talk about whether it applies to me?” “I saw this online and wasn’t sure what to make of it. What’s your perspective?” “Can you walk me through why you’re recommending this approach for my situation?” svpn-mag.com
151
WELLNESS
BUILDING TRUST AND WORKING TOGETHER At the heart of navigating conflicting information is a strong partnership with your healthcare provider. Today’s approach to care emphasizes shared decision-making, where you and your clinician work together to find the best path forward. Your preferences, your concerns, and your goals all matter. “It’s okay to say if something doesn’t feel right to you or if you want more information,” Morse says. “Our role is to help guide you, not make decisions for you.” It’s also important to recognize that medicine doesn’t always have clear-cut answers. Sometimes the best decision comes from weighing options together and considering what matters most to you. Sorting through health advice can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. “Curiosity is not a problem, it’s a strength,” Morse says. “When patients ask questions, it helps us provide better, more personalized care.” Don’t have a physician? Call the Center for Community Health at 208.727.8733 for help finding the right provider for you. 152

SKINCARE SUMMER
154
svpn-mag.com
WELLNESS
From the Inside-Out Summer is the time for a sun-kissed glow from the inside-out. This takes a multifaceted approach, and while everyone wants to know the quick hacks and secrets (and there are some), true skin health and care starts from a solid foundation of a lifestyle and health/skin care strategy. This means an approach from a cellular level, applying a strategy that supports your biology from within pairing perfectly with targeted treatments. Of course, there are also a few of my favorite “hacks” that I list below to accelerate results.
SKIN HEALTH BEGINS WITHIN Your skin is a reflection organ. It is the largest organ and reflects the health of your internal organs and your nervous system: the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and cortisol levels. What you see on the surface is a direct output of what’s happening inside, including inflammation levels, hydration status, mitochondrial health, toxicity, nutrient reserves, and level of nervous system regulation. So, before we talk about what we’re putting on your skin, let’s talk about what we’re putting in your body, including the environment you live in. Daily nutrition and lifestyle choices are the foundation of beauty, health, and energy. Consuming pure water, fresh vegetables daily and low glycemic fruits high in antioxidants such as berries and citrus is essential. In addition to high-vibration and quality foods, what you don’t consume is sometimes more important. Processed sugar, alcohol, and seed oils will jam up your detox organs and collapse your metabolic function and collagen integrity. Once the foundation is in place, we have an amazing Summer Skin Care package at CENTERED. svpn-mag.com
155
WELLNESS
ACCELERATE THE GLOW Once the internal foundation is solid, it’s time to layer in the therapies that accelerate results.
MY FOUNDATIONAL SKINCARE FAVORITES The foundational supplements I recommend for summer skin are fundamental in my own routine. There are specific brands and dosages I find very effective. Vitamin C and zinc are at the top—zinc alone is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions including wound healing, oil regulation, and skin repair. Glycine is one of the most underrated amino acids for skin health. It’s a primary building block of collagen, and most of us are chronically deficient in it. Supplementing glycine is one of the most affordable, high-return things you can do for your skin, your sleep, and your cellular repair. Magnesium glycinate rounds out the foundation as it is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions, and helps regulate inflammation, supports quality sleep (where most of your skin repair happens), and buffers the stress response that accelerates aging. Vitamin D3-K2 is absolutely essential; especially in summer when sun exposure goes up, it is important to balance this. D3 supports immune regulation and skin barrier integrity; K2 ensures that calcium is directed where it belongs. There are two supplements that I genuinely love for summer specifically: Astaxanthin and our Perfect Reds blend. Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature—it provides a degree of internal UV protection, reduces oxidative stress on the skin, and visibly improves skin elasticity and hydration over time. Perfect Reds delivers a concentrated hit of polyphenols and antioxidant-rich superfoods to support circulation, detoxification, and that happy-from-within glow. 156
svpn-mag.com
My favorite for skin health is daily Red Light Therapy, which delivers specific wavelengths of light that penetrate below the surface to stimulate mitochondrial function, accelerate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair. The research on this technology is robust. It’s one of those tools that is simple, easy to work into a daily routine, and changes the biology of your skin. I have read that 12 minutes per day clears all visible signs of aging. I love to pair an early morning PEMF/ nano vi session with red light therapy. This really charges up my day and is part of our travel and jet lag protocol. Sauna and exercise/lymphatic movement such as exercise and gua sha are key for body and skin health. Beyond that, there are a few tricks I love: face yoga, Neveskin cryo skin tightening treatments for tightening the skin on your legs and body (two times per week), microneedling, and castor oil on the face before bed. The CENTERED Skincare Package is our way of making a personalized and transformative protocol that gets better over time and with age. We are happy to share all of this with you, email info@drmollybrown.com to get started. And remember, whether you start with supplements, treatments, or lifestyle changes, these results get better over time and can always improve. Your skin health and your body in general is very resilient to positive input and will give results immediately.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS AT GAIL SEVERN GALLERY

FINE ARTS
A landmark space for propelling fine art in Ketchum by Sabina Dana Plasse
When Gail Severn opened the Gail Severn Gallery 50 years ago in Ketchum, she was dedicated to contributing to the growth and sustainability of a vibrant art scene. Five decades later, the gallery’s space rivals that of any major city art gallery. It is a place where community members can gather, where the work of emerging and established artists can be experienced, and serves as a space to inspire art collectors across the Valley. An Idaho native who was fresh out of the University of Idaho, Severn was hired by Bill and Glenn Janss, the previous owners of the Sun Valley Resort, to work at the newly debuted Sun Valley Center of the Arts, now the Sun Valley Museum of Art. There, she assisted with multiple departments, taught fiber arts classes, shared a studio with printmaker David Wharton, worked with Jim Romberg in the ceramics department, and collected photography, which kept her engaged with the Center’s photographers. “It was a wonderful training ground to work with an institution in its early years,” reveals Severn. “Everyone who came here was amazing. It was a family setting, with everyone who taught. Being with the Janss’s was special because they always had dinners with all the artists and instructors. Back then, Mary Rolland oversaw exhibitions at the Potato Gallery. It was perfect.”

Recognizing the arts’ potential to attract a broader audience to Sun Valley, the Janss’s asked Severn, who had also been framing for Nicki Foster, to open a gallery. Severn took over the business when Foster retired, and because of her deep love of photography, she named it the Images Gallery. Understanding the Valley’s need for galleries, Sun Valley philanthropist and developer Ed Dumke and NFL record-holding kicker Tom Dempsey helped Severn open her first space. svpn-mag.com

For 50 years, Severn has been providing emerging and established artists with an exhibition space and a commitment to uplifting their work and legacy. Her triedand-true belief is that fine art belongs in everyone’s life, not only in collectors’ and museums’ collections.

“This type of forward-thinking really speaks to the compassion and attitude of people in the community who were starting businesses and constructing buildings and who had the financial wherewithal to be generous,” shares Severn. “In general, it was a very different time. I spent 10 amazing years in that location.”

After her fathers’ passing, Severn bought the lots where her gallery now stands. Sun Valley architect Janet Jarvis designed the gallery and helped Severn bring her vision to life. She also received support from co-signers and bank assistance, which especially helped in the early days of her gallery when the slack shoulder-season lack of business was so severe. “I’ve always been a risk-taker, and so many of our early artists were very exciting for the gallery,” says Severn. “The focus had mainly been on landscape and the natural world, including contemporary artists such as Tony Berlant, who is having a show during this 50-year celebration. Berlant participated in major exhibitions alongside early pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein. Things started to grow, and the word spread that Sun Valley was great for shows for contemporary artists.” Severn created an atmosphere that was the opposite of the pompous gallery culture of a major city, yet a place where collectors and art aficionados could enjoy the work and the artist. To this day, artists who exhibit in Sun Valley often come to their openings from across the country and around the world. Gail Severn Gallery has become a recognizable name in the contemporary art gallery scene in the West. With the formation of the Sun Valley Gallery Association, which served as a shared community for gallery expenses and business, and the addition of Gallery Walks, Severn has seen growth in svpn-mag.com

the arts and in their appreciation. She has also been a key figure in connecting Sun Valley to national and international arts organizations and programs, including the global Arts in Embassies program and Americas for the Arts. “Community is everything,” says Severn. “This includes hosting small singing groups such as the Caritas Chorale choir, allowing nonprofits to use the gallery space for fundraisers, supporting larger organizations that are important on a national level, and hosting exhibitions that showcase artists who care about water issues in the West, such as Joseph Rossano and Tony Foster. Many artists care deeply about our planet.” She adds, “It all evolved organically into a space with so much versatility, including weddings and festival dinners. It feels good to host a diversity of community members and their events.” For 50 years, Severn has been providing emerging and established artists with an exhibition space and a commitment to uplifting their work and legacy. Her triedand-true belief is that fine art belongs in everyone’s life, not only in collectors’ and museums’ collections. She has created a space for art to be enjoyed, and the Severn ethos includes a building that is easy for all to enter, discover, and learn in.

“The artists’ friendships are magical, but so are the clients,” says Severn. “We have been so lucky. Many artists have been part of the gallery throughout our 50 years, including Julie Spiedel and Jane Rosen, among so many others, and we get to continue their legacy.” As part of the gallery’s 50th annual celebration, longtime Severn artists, including Don Nice, Tony Berlant, and Tom Hammick, will be featured, along with the work of Gail Severn Gallery’s legacy artist Hung Lui. gailseverngallery.com

My job as an intuitive painter is to take risks. I begin with fast gestural marks. Sometimes these marks act as scaffolding, which supports shape, line, and color. Each mark I lay down demands a response. This layering process continues and becomes more defined as the painting develops and matures. The finished painting is both excavation and discovery—a richly textured record of intuition and transformation. It carries the evidence of what was abandoned, what survived, and what emerged unexpectedly along the way. — J A N E T S TA R R 174

The kind of beauty that doesn’t apologize for itself. Each piece is handcrafted and one of a kind, because that’s the only way I know how to make things. Bold. Expressive.

SUN VALLEY MUSEUM OF ART I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art, edition 49/50, 1971 by John Baldessari lithograph 22 1/2” x 30 1/8” Sheet 27 1/2” x 35 1/8” x 1 1/2” Frame Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer
Circa 1971: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer & His Family Foundation Through October 17
Circa 1971 presents exceptional prints and limited editions from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation and offers an intimate portrait of American art at a pivotal cultural moment. Organized by SVMoA’s Courtney Gilbert, Assistant Director and Curator, and Jennifer Wells Green, Executive Director, in consultation with Sun Valley Center for the Arts (now SVMoA) founder Glenn Janss, this exhibition commemorates the museum’s 55th anniversary by returning to the artistic landscape of its origins. Featuring works created between 1970 and 1972, the exhibition captures the dynamic crosscurrents that defined the era—from the bold graphics of Pop Art to the perceptual experiments of Op Art, to the austere elegance of Minimalism, 190
svpn-mag.com
the exacting detail of Photorealism, and the intellectual rigor of Conceptual Art. This carefully selected presentation includes prints and sculptural editions by Anni Albers, Larry Bell, Vija Celmins, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella, Wayne Thiebaud, and Andy Warhol, among others. More than a retrospective glance, Circa 1971 invites visitors to immerse themselves in the aesthetic innovations and cultural conversations that animated the American art world at the moment of SVMoA’s founding. The exhibition reveals how these artists, working through diverse practices and philosophies, collectively shaped the visual language of their time.

Bright Knight: The Life & Legacy of Adam West Through August 14
This pop-up exhibition celebrates the enduring impact of the beloved actor Adam West, best known for his iconic portrayal of Batman. In partnership with the City of Ketchum and organized by the West family and the Sun Valley Museum of Art, the exhibition marks the 60th anniversary of the landmark television series while offering a deeper, more expansive look at West’s life and career. Set in the historic building at Forest Service Park, the show invites visitors to explore West’s journey from his childhood in Walla Walla, Washington, to his rise in Hollywood and his lasting ties to Ketchum, where he was both a cultural figure and a cherished neighbor. Through photographs, memorabilia, video, and personal artworks, the exhibition reveals the breadth of West’s creative pursuits and his lasting cultural influence across generations. Visitors will encounter materials spanning his early acting roles, behind-the-scenes moments from the Batman television series, and later projects including voice work from Family Guy and The Simpsons and his personal paintings. By highlighting both his professional achievements and personal legacy, the exhibition offers an intimate portrait of a figure whose sense of joy, creativity, and imagination continues to resonate.

Tony Berlant Internationally known for his innovative collage-based works and a seminal figure in the West Coast Pop movement, Berlant has worked across a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, and collage. The exhibition features a selection of large-scale panels, three-dimensional house forms, and freestanding sculptures. Constructed from found tin signage and held together with thousands of tiny brads, these works transform everyday images drawn from American consumer culture. Through cutting, manipulating, and reassembling the materials, Berlant strips them of their original identities and brings disparate imagery together to create cohesive and compelling new objects.

Tom Hammick Tom Hammick’s solo exhibition of woodblock prints and oil paintings are informed by the artist’s love of poetry, opera, film, and the natural environment. These large-scale narratives unfold within imaginary and mythological dreamscapes that serve as metaphors for the human condition, impermanence, and states of mind. Drawing inspiration from the German Expressionists and British Colorists, Hammick masterfully harnesses the emotional power of color, placing his subjects within expansive surrealist landscapes suffused with vibrant, shifting, and often indescribable hues. The exhibition will feature new large-scale variable-edition woodblock prints alongside original oil paintings on canvas and panel.

Morris Graves Known for his delicate and mystical depictions of plant and animal life, Morris Graves is internationally renowned for his visionary works that reflect the spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world. Considered a seminal member of the Northwest Mystics alongside Mark Tobey, Kenneth Callahan, and Guy Anderson, Graves gained national recognition for his meditative portrayals of wildlife, birds, and vessels. His distinctive style blends Asian aesthetic influences with the atmospheric qualities of the Pacific Northwest, creating deeply contemplative and spiritually resonant works.
Don Nice Double bird by Morris Graves watercolor and tempera on paper 9” x 11.5”
Western Predella X: Jack Rabbit by Don Nice watercolor on paper 20” x 62”
Don Nice was a leading figure in American art who emerged in the early 1960s as one of the “new perceptual realists.” Raised in California’s San Joaquin Valley, his early experiences as a ranch hand and outdoorsman fostered a lifelong connection to the American landscape. Nice developed a distinctive style. Working in watercolor, oil, and sculpture depicting everyday American objects and iconic landscapes, Nice’s work explores the relationship between popular culture, nature, and the enduring character of American life.

Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL by Stephen Wilkes Fujiflex archival digital c-print 36” x 51.5”, Edition of 20 additional sizes available
Stephen Wilkes America at 250: Through the Lens of Stephen Wilkes August 1 to 31
For more than four decades, Stephen Wilkes (b. 1957, New York) has trained his lens on the American experience. As the United States marks 250 years, his photographs ask us to sit with its complexity. Central to the exhibition is his series Day to Night. From a fixed vantage point, Wilkes photographs iconic landscapes continuously for up to 36 hours, then composites over 1,500 images into a single frame where dawn, midday, dusk, and night coexist. In his own words, each is like a symphony, built slowly from countless individual moments. Wilkes’ Tapestries series is, by his description, the jazz to that symphony: spontaneous in-camera multiple exposures captured in four to eight seconds. Here they are presented as commissioned handwoven textiles, image translated into thread. Completing the show are works from the abandoned Bethlehem Steel plant in Pennsylvania, whose silent ruins speak to the rise and fall of the communities that powered the nation. Where Day to Night and Tapestries find America in its rhythms and textures, Bethlehem Steel finds it in its bones. 196

Dana Piazza
Each of Dana Piazza’s works begins with a single mark. From there, the Massachusetts-based artist follows a set of rules of his own devising, repeating and adjusting that first gesture across paper, panel, or canvas. Small, unplanned slips enter the sequence and quietly redirect what comes next, so that each mark conditions the one after it and the outcome stays unknown until the work is finished. The accumulation reads as depth and movement, held within a single, deeply saturated hue. Moving between system and accident, Piazza lets order and unpredictability share one surface, tracing chance, discovery, and the passage of time.

35th Annual Plein Air Exhibition August 3 to 7
“En plein air” is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their works. Kneeland Gallery’s exciting annual plein air event allows you to get involved in a variety of fun activities involving seven of our premier plein air painters. First and foremost, we encourage you to interact with the artists—they really do love the attention! Other events include a 200

Jerry Hadam’s Tracks allows the snow to quiet the mind while it softens the trail of the animal who passed through the creek. The track suggests a creature neither in a hurry nor hungry, but in exploration. After years of not being able to print from a large body of 4x5-view camera images, Hadam is printing images he has wanted to print for 20 years. This is one of those images. 202

Following a residency at the historic Ernest and Mary Hemingway House and Preserve with The Community Library, Farrand returns with new work: watercolors made inside the historic home and monumental outdoor sculptures that translate Hemingway’s prose into material—anodized aluminum, Carrara marble, plated steel. Elemental and deliberate, the work asks what it means to make something permanent from something fleeting.

Sally King Benedict Frequency of Seeing August 4 to 29 Opening Night | August 7, 5-7:30pm Artist Talk | August 15, 4-5pm
Sally King Benedict is a contemporary painter known for her expressive figurative works, bold color fields, and layered mark-making that blends abstraction with recognizable human forms. Her exhibition, Frequency of Seeing, features a new body of work exploring perception as a kind of frequency or emotional sensitivity to light, color, pattern, and repetition. Inspired by observing her daughter’s heightened way of noticing the world, the work reflects how certain details can hold attention with unusual intensity. Silver and gold leaf are embedded throughout her paintings as moments of activation, allowing surfaces to shift and respond to changing light and movement. Elements emerge, disappear, and reappear depending on perspective—echoing the experience of something suddenly catching the eye and becoming impossible to ignore. Through rhythm, reflection, and layered abstraction, Frequency of Seeing invites viewers into a more attentive and sensory-rich way of looking.

At its foundation are vintage photographs from
FINE ARTS | NOW SHOWING
Edward Curtis’s landmark 30-year project, The North American Indian (1898–1928), offers a powerful visual record of Native American life at the turn of the 20th century. In dialogue with this legacy are iconic prints from Andy Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians series (1986), which reframe Western imagery through the lens of Pop Art, challenging familiar cultural symbols and narratives. Contemporary photographic works by David Yarrow bring cinematic scale and theatrical intensity to the exhibition. Through immersive compositions and dramatic storytelling, Yarrow creates visually striking interpretations of the modern West. The exhibition also features works by Rudi Broschofsky and Theodore Villa, whose bold contemporary approaches blend elements of Pop Art, abstraction, and Western imagery, offering fresh perspectives on the region’s enduring themes. Rounding out the exhibition are recent acquisitions of works by Russell Chatham, whose atmospheric landscapes capture the emotional essence of the West through light, mood, and a profound sense of place.

Sun Valley Culinary Institute
Open daily. Check the SVCI website for classes and events. 211 N Main Street | Ketchum 208.913.0494 sunvalleyculinary.org
The Sun Valley Culinary Institute (SVCI) is more than a culinary school—it is a gathering place for food enthusiasts, aspiring chefs, and lifelong learners who share a passion for great food and hospitality. Through professional culinary training, community education, and unique dining experiences, SVCI has become an integral part of the Wood River Valley’s vibrant food culture. At the heart of the organization is SVCI’s one-year professional training program, which combines classroom instruction with paid industry externships at leading restaurants throughout the region. As a nonprofit culinary school, SVCI provides students with handson training, mentorship from accomplished chefs, and a pathway to rewarding careers in the culinary and hospitality industries. Led by Education Director Jorge de la Torre and Culinary Director Chef Paul Brown, SVCI also serves the broader community through year-round cooking classes, chef dinners, guest chef experiences, and special events designed to inspire culinary curiosity and bring people together around the table.
Clockwise from above: Chef Paul Brown; Chef Kian Lam Kho, Glendi Celebration; SVCI Class of 2026
This August, SVCI welcomes back James Beard Award-nominated Chef Kian Lam Kho. Chef Kian is an expert in authentically prepared Chinese cuisine that is rarely found in American Chinese restaurants. Always a special experience, Kho will offer two classes in August, including a “Stir-Frying Demystified” demonstration class where participants will learn essential Wok techniques. And for those who want a hands-on experience, join Chef Kian to learn to make everyone’s Chinese dumpling favorites like shumai, pot stickers, and steamed shrimp dumplings. Plus, on Saturday, August 29, step into a world of vibrant tradition and joyous festivity at a Glendi—a Greek celebration that brings people together for an unforgettable experience. From the moment guests arrive, they’re swept up in the rhythms of lively music and the irresistible aromas of authentic Greek cuisine. SVCI is also proud to once again offer its popular Symphony Picnic Basket Program during the annual Sun Valley Music Festival. Created by Chef Paul Brown, this year’s collection features eight distinctive picnic menus crafted to complement an evening of world-class music. For information on Chef Kian’s August classes, the Glendi Festival and Symphony Picnic Baskets, visit sunvalleyculinary.org. 250

In the heart of the Wood River Valley, Atkinsons’ Market isn’t just a grocery store—it’s a family saga etched into the very soil of Idaho. Established in 1956 by Chuck and Floss Atkinson, this beloved specialty grocer has been passed down through four generations, blending unwavering community ties with a rich local history.

Today, that enduring spirit lives on—shopping here is a warm, inviting ritual where fresh discoveries and genuine connections turn every visit into a unique experience. Atkinsons’ is the Valley’s go-to for elevated everyday eats and locally produced goods, proudly displaying over 100 local producers.

Walking into the Pioneer Saloon in Ketchum is like greeting an old friend. It’s often the first stop for locals coming home or visitors starting a memorable vacation. For more than 50 years, the Pioneer has been welcoming its loyal customers with a warm and cozy atmosphere that feels more like someone’s home than a restaurant. Renowned for perfectly aged and flavorful beef, many varieties of seafood, fresh Idaho rainbow trout, and Northwest regional specials, the Pioneer is much more than a steakhouse. Unique and historic western art fills the bar and restaurant, reminiscent of earlier days when pioneers settled in this valley. Authentic and genuine friendly service from familiar faces will make you feel as though you have arrived home when you walk in the door. As the locals say, “If you haven’t been to the Pioneer Saloon, you haven’t been to Ketchum.”

The Sawtooth Club
Always busy with a fun mix of locals and visitors alike, The Sawtooth Club has been downtown Ketchum’s most beloved destination for dining and cocktails since the days when Ernest Hemingway himself was a regular there. Nowadays, the place is more popular than ever with an inspired menu offering a mouthwatering blend of creative small plates to share, grilled steaks, chops & ribs, healthy vegetarian dishes, fresh seafood, unique pasta bowls, nightly specials, and much more. In the bar, enjoy handcrafted cocktails, 16 wines by the glass, and 12 ice-cold craft brews on tap. Dinner offerings this season include fresh Idaho trout, filet mignon, linguine with clams, chicken Senegalese, flatiron steak bearnaise, rack of lamb, ribeye steak, butternut squash ravioli, Manchester Farms quail, BBQ baby back ribs, vegan noodle bowl, Wagyu beef meatloaf, pasta Portofino, baked brie en croute, fresh steamer clams, seared ahi salad, awesome burgers and sandwiches, to name just a few. Much of our grilling is done over a live mesquite fire. This method of natural wood cooking generates the intense heat that sears in the flavorful juices and imparts a variety of subtle tastes and aromas to meat, poultry and seafood.
Top to bottom: The front of the Sawtooth Club in a normal summer; Mesquite-grilled Idaho ruby red trout; summer view from the balcony patio.
With an award-winning wine list that complements the wonderful food, summer nights on the beautiful outdoor terrace are not to be missed. One visit and you’ll know why The Sawtooth Club has repeatedly been voted the “Valley’s Best Overall Restaurant and The Valley’s Best Bar!”

Head down the stairs and you’re instantly in one of Ketchum’s classic rites of passage—a traditional pub energy hit with the perfect pint of Guinness waiting at the bottom. The Cellar’s patio hums in summer, but inside is where the magic happens: locals, visitors, and ski bums packed around wooden tables, digging into Fish & Chips, Bangers & Mash, or the legendary Old-Fashioned Bar Burger.
Top: Bangers & Mash Above: Interior of The Cellar Pub
Late-night? Even better. The full bar is stacked with draft beers and daily drink-and-shot specials. Music and sports memorabilia cover the walls, giving the whole place that lived‑in, good‑times‑happen‑here feel. Wander to the back and you’ll find booths made for storytelling, a free full‑size shuffleboard table that’s probably older than half the crowd, and a Big Buck Hunter arcade game. You don’t just leave The Cellar Pub with a full belly—you leave with a story.

Michel’s Christiania
Few other restaurants in Ketchum are as steeped in history as the legendary Christiania. Known as “The Christy” to locals, the restaurant has been in operation since 1959 when Ernest Hemingway dined there so often he had his own table. To get your own glimpse of ski history, come to the famous Olympic Bar, where photos and mementos from former owner Michel Rudigoz’s time as the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team Coach adorn the walls. For a true culinary experience, you will enjoy French cuisine
that is also inspired by Michel’s background in Lyon (the country’s culinary capital). Your meal will be a pièce de résistance! Entrées like Wild Salmon in Sorrel Sauce and Braised Lamb Shank appear nightly on the menu in addition to an infusion of specials like the Poisson du Jour and Pâté de Campagne. The menu also features Lyonnaise pomme frites and fresh salads and, of course, Michel’s famous and extensive wine list.

Beers on tap and an excellent wine selection are cultivated by sommelier Patrick McCain, while chef Dave Schenck and owner Adelaide Smithmason create local favorites like Teton Valley lamb ragu with homemade pappardelle, Pacific NW clams with cioppino and homemade squid ink linguine, and panko-crusted Idaho trout. The fresh and seasonal cuisine is always changing, making Enoteca the ideal place for dining out throughout the year. Season after season, there are always new reasons to love Enoteca.
