EXPLORE YOUR WORLD EDITOR’S WELCOME

As much as we all love Sun Valley, sometimes we need to get out and explore the world to appreciate what we have. As I think about the Sun Valley summer ahead from the coastline of the French Riviera at the 77th Festival du Cannes, I am amazed at how we all care about the same things. We are so connected even though we live oceans apart and communicate in different languages.

When I landed in Nice, France, a friend found me in the customs line (how Sun Valley!), and when I arrived at the Festival, I was greeted by colleagues, including Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF) board member Heather Rae, whose significant contributions as a respected and accomplished film industry producer have made the event what it is today. Compared to one of the largest film markets in the world, our boutique SVFF stands on its own, and you can attend the SVFF monthly films to stay in the know!

As for June, get ready to kick it into high gear. Gala season is upon us, and SVPN Magazine has all the intel. On the cover, learn about Christina Culver’s Sun Valley Policy Forum, its summer institute, and featured speakers offering their perspectives on current public policy issues throughout the year.

SVPN Magazine also presents its yearly Wedding Guide, full of ideas and contacts for planning in Sun Valley, which has become a premier wedding destination. It’s a keeper.

Back-to-back events include Sun Valley Culinary Institute’s Welcome Party, A Summer Soiree with Chef Art Smith and Food Network insider Bruce Seidel, to raise money for the school’s Student Scholarship Fund, working to create debt-free opportunities for the next generation of culinary professionals, especially in Sun Valley.

Then, there is the Sun Valley Wine Auction, which supports arts education in the Valley, and will follow Ballet Sun Valley, presenting two separate shows with The Joffrey Ballet. Read about all three magnificent events, each contributing to the quality of life we embrace living here.

The June edition also presents the 9th Sun Valley Gathering in Stanley. Curated by James Fowler, this four-day event is over the top with guest musicians and artists and must-see headliners that will be worthwhile no matter if you go for one show, one day, one night, or all. Making an effort to attend will not disappoint.

In addition, SVPN has a great deal of live music on the way with the debut of the Baldy Bluebird Festival at River Run Lodge on July 4th and 5th . It includes Midland, Grace Potter, and much more. Also, the Sun Valley Museum of Art presents Old Crow Medicine Show and Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.

Adding to the entertainment, read about Sun Valley Pride Festival and all its happenings, along with SVPN ’s Events Calendar, Arts Etc., and Now Showing gallery exhibitions— there’s no lack of activity for the busy summer season!

There’s much more inside our covers, including a Wellness Section with St. Luke’s and Dr. Molly Brown of CENTERED, diving into community support and wellbeing retreats.

SVPN also features several Style Dial contributors to inspire summer living inside and outside your abode and contribute to your lifestyle. The Sun Valley Restaurant Dining Association Dining Guide has plenty of delectable options, and SVPN ’s real estate listings might surprise you and inspire you to be part of the community.

Let’s leap into summer,

SUN VALLEY PRIDE FESTIVAL EMBRACES ALL

Miss Jessica

Celebrating People & Empowering Community

Since 2019, Sun Valley Pride has been celebrated, expanded, and evolved into a full week of events that attract attendees and performers locally, regionally, and nationwide.

As a beacon of diversity, inclusion, and fun in the heart of south-central Idaho in the stunning landscape of Sun Valley, the Sun Valley Pride Festival stands as a vibrant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, fostering a space where love, identity, and expression are celebrated openly.

“Our team’s vision is to welcome the LGBTQIA+community and our allies to celebrate diversity and inclusion throughout the valley during Pride Month, so we are thrilled to officially team up with David Seelos, event founder, and his wonderful group of pro-event managers, adding value to our growing list of venues, sponsors, and supporters,” says Sawtooth Botanical Garden Executive Director Jen Smith. “We hope that participants will especially appreciate what will be fun and thoughtful educational components of the Sun Valley Pride Festival.”

From June 26 through June 30, the Sawtooth Botanical Garden (SBG) presents the Fourth Annual Sun Valley Pride Festival. Six events—four ticketed and two free—are familyfriendly and open to all ages, except for the “Spuds, Studs & Stilettos” drag show at the Argyros Performing Arts Center, which is an 18-and-over event.

The 2024 Sun Valley Pride Festival begins on Wednesday, June 26, with “Pride in the Garden,” 5:30-9:30pm at the SBG. This ticketed kickoff ‘80s-themed party will feature food and beverages, education, entertainment, speakers, and plenty of color. Tickets are $100 and available at sbgarden.org.

On Thursday, June 27, the Festival presents the “Spuds, Studs & Stilettos” drag show headlined by Denver-based hostess Miss Jessica, which will take place at The Argyros.

Tickets are $100 per person for VIP low stage-side tables, $50 per person for high cabaret tables, and $25 for general admission. This show is for ages 18 years and over. Tiered tickets are available at theargyros.org.

Sun Valley Pride continues with “Drag Bingo” at the Limelight Hotel Ketchum Living Room on Friday, June 28, at 7pm. This all-ages event is sure to entertain with Miss Jessica, who was Denver’s 2023 Drag Entertainer of the Year. Drag performances will infuse the evening’s bingo fun. Tickets are $40 and include food, beverages, and bingo. Get ready to win big prizes from local businesses and the Sawtooth Botanical Garden.

“I am so excited to make Sun Valley Pride one of my stops on my 50+ city tour across the country,” says Miss Jessica.”What better way to celebrate pridefest than adding some Miss Jessica to the mix! I cannot wait to celebrate with all of you!”

For the main event, on Saturday, June 29, the Sun Valley Pride Festival parade will start with the free and all ages “Pride Ride” at Dollar Mountain overflow parking lot at 10am for bike decorating, where sequins and rainbow apparel are encouraged along with decoration of various modes of human-powered transportation including bicycles, unicycles, rollerblades, and strollers, etc. for a peaceful demonstration of pride style.

At 11am, it’s wheels up for the Pride Ride Bike Parade, which will circumnavigate the Sun Valley Village and wind up at the Sun Valley Festival Meadow for “Sun Valley Pride” at 12pm.

StART Summer in Sun Valley

The Sun Valley 2024 summer season gears up for an incredible season of events, fundraisers, and activities beginning in June with signature Sun Valley events, including The Welcome Party, A Summer Soiree presented by Sun Valley Culinary Institute (SVCI), Sun Valley Museum of Art’s 43rd Annual Sun Valley Wine Auction, and Ballet Sun Valley’s 2024 Festival featuring the Sun Valley debut of The Joffrey Ballet. In addition, the Sun Valley Film Festival will have its monthly screening throughout summer and the year, and the Sun Valley Brewfest says cheers to ten years in Ketchum Town Square on Saturday, June 22.

Celebrating the arts in the Wood River Valley is an opportunity to enjoy Sun Valley and its incredible location and community. These much-anticipated galas and events

provide funding and opportunities throughout the year to support the entire Wood River Valley through the culinary arts, art education, and world-class dance. Honoring the events contributing to the community’s fiber and soul, “StART Summer in Sun Valley” is a weeklong kick-off to the Valley’s hallmark events.

“StART Summer in Sun Valley tees up summer for a range of events and activities throughout the community with the many like-minded individuals who make these celebratory occasions happen,” says Visit Sun Valley Executive Director Ray J. Gadd. “Among the galas and live performances are many other events to support the community and welcome

visitors, including the 10th annual Sun Valley Brewfest and the debut of the Baldy Bluebird Music Festival at River Run. With air service to and from Sun Valley available earlier in the season, attending events and festivals is now more accessible.”

Building up the summer with StART Summer in Sun Valley is a foray into the 2024 summer season of many more exciting events. These include several milestone celebrations, including 30 years of the Sun Valley Writers Conference, and 40 years of the Sun Valley Music Festival, a testament to the passion and support that span generations in the Sun Valley community.

SUN VALLEY POLICY FORUM: EDUCATE. PARTICIPATE. DISCUSS.

Christina Erland Culver shares perspective

Sun Valley, known for world-class recreation, is also an increasingly attractive destination for influential leaders in industry, music, literature, film, philanthropy, and public service. Over the years, the Valley has hosted numerous prominent figures and events, creating a vibrant location for business, performing arts, and cultural exchanges. Sun Valley residents and visitors expect exceptional programming that offers new perspectives, strengthens the community, and provides personal and professional growth. Fast-forward, and Sun Valley is flourishing with activity, home to nationally recognized organizations supporting a wide range of audiences. Enter the Sun Valley Policy Forum (SVPF).

The Sun Valley Policy Forum is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 2022 to provide first-in-class leadership and educational programming that advances free-market ideas and examines issue areas through the lens of principles of a free society. The programming is designed to grow citizen awareness and improve understanding of vital issues facing our nation, hoping to encourage greater civic engagement.

The Founder and Executive Director of the Sun Valley Policy Forum is no stranger to a fertile landscape that drives the advancement of public policy. With over 25 years in Washington, D.C., Kansas native Christina Erland Culver co-founded SVPF in 2022 on the heels of a career in the dynamic world of politics, government, and nonprofits before moving to Idaho 11 years ago. Culver, also President and CEO of EdNexus Advisors LLC, an Idaho-based federal and state government affairs and business strategy firm, spent her early career in the policy and political trenches, working on numerous presidential races beginning with Senator Bob Dole’s run for president in 1988. After his election, she followed George H.W. Bush to the White House and served under five Education Secretaries at the U.S. Department of Education.

Culver co-founded the Sun Valley Policy Forum because, like so many others, she appreciates the open-mindedness of the Sun Valley community. Residents expressed an interest in hearing from and interacting with thought-leaders who are experts on critical issues facing our nation. She answered the call.

A lifelong interest in public policy and geo-political affairs led Culver to the U.S. Naval War College, where she received her master’s degree in National Security and Strategic Studies. Combined with a BA in Political Science from the University of Kansas, she is well suited for her role at SVPF. Much like many events in the Valley, the Sun Valley Policy Forum provides an environment for people to engage in deep discussion and expand their civic knowledge base through up-close and personal contact with thought-leaders and policy thinkers who would traditionally reach their audience through podcasts, books, and research papers.

“The 2024 season focuses on the fundamental elements of the Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights and Freedom of Speech,” says Culver. “This will serve as a foundation for further dialogue on important current issues going into the election.” She continues, “The Sun Valley Policy Forum is a destination for speakers interested in discussing topical ideas, policies, and solutions. Programming features organizations whose leaders are working on the front lines as they seek to preserve democracy and protect our liberties, all while respecting competing views.”

Presenters are luminaries in their fields—many are bestselling authors, some lead think tanks and public policy institutes, and all are on the cutting edge of a movement to educate and inspire greater dialogue and engagement in solving America’s greatest challenges.

With a focus on free-market ideas, free enterprise, national security, and domestic policy, Culver views the Aspen

Christina Erland Culver

Institute as a model for SVPF, allowing participants to explore and discuss issue areas with change-makers and icebreakers. “We go to great lengths to research and call on long-standing relationships to bring the most prominent names to Sun Valley,” says Culver. “We provide attendees with the opportunity to meet great thinkers in-person, affording a deeper and more meaningful experience that can be shared with friends, family and colleagues.”

Culver launched the Sun Valley Policy Forum with the backing of the Bradley Impact Fund, a national philanthropic donor-advised fund that supports nonprofits with the mission to restore, strengthen, and protect America’s founding principles and institutions. Along with well-established names like Victor Davis Hanson, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Stephen Moore, and Charlie Kirk, Culver also works to feature rising leaders who are entrepreneurial in their advocacy and working to take on significant issues such as government transparency and preserving the U.S. Supreme Court. Future events will include additional national nonprofit institutes and partners.

Reinforcing the theme of informed engagement, Culver seeks to identify areas of policy importance and action-oriented nonprofits promoting perspectives on strong national security, limited government, individual liberties, and selfgovernance for SVPF’s growing audience and finds leaders who offer analysis and innovative solutions that inspire audiences to advance those ideas.

“The Sun Valley Policy Forum features intriguing, thoughtprovoking, and at times controversial guests,” says Culver, who has carefully studied and vetted Sun Valley Policy Forum presenters to provide elevated conversations about America and its policies while providing an opportunity for attendees to broaden their library of information on what is going on in the daily news cycle and what is happening in our world.

“Year-round programming features change agents, cultural historians, academia, economists, new media, philanthropists, and public servants. Each unique voice provides insights and expertise on critical issues and shares thoughts on the upholding of the Constitution and the American ideals of individual liberty, democracy, and free speech,” says Culver.

Culver adds, “Jonathan Turley was particularly inspiring (during his March presentation)when he spoke about the need to ensure that our ever-expanding citizenry has a true understanding and appreciation of our liberties, specifically regarding protections surrounding freedom of speech. It may surprise many Americans that not all of the Western world has similar Constitutional protections. There is increasing concern amongst many thought- leaders that voters do not understand or value the unique rights with which we are blessed. Turley gave a concise and fascinating history of free speech’s often messy and violent evolution, and what the Founders intended. We at SVPF are the beneficiaries of that history. We take that responsibility seriously.”

The Sun Valley Policy Forum aims to encourage thoughtful policy discussions, provide a platform for idea exchange, and shepherd the next generation to advocate for clear and effective policies for the future. “In keeping with the theme of including emerging thought-leaders,” Culver explains, “we are pleased to present Charlie Kirk as Keynote Speaker at the Summer Institute. While a controversial figure for some, Charlie has dedicated himself to college campus free speech and is working to ensure that students can freely express themselves regardless of their political viewpoints. He is working to build a large community of young adults on high school and college campuses who will participate in the democratic process and view America positively despite headwinds to the contrary.” She continues, “Charlie has a multi-generational following, clear proof that his message resonates across the voting spectrum. We invite all ages to attend the Summer Institute to hear Charlie’s solutions and positive message that there is hope for the next generation in America. We are a resilient nation, and we have been through many ups and downs, but we have survived. Democracy is difficult. We have an amazing system, and it works.”

The Sun Valley Policy Forum presents Winning the Culture Wars for the Next Generation, Election Integrity, and the Economy at the 2024 Sun Valley Policy Forum Summer Institute on Monday, June 24 and Tuesday, June 25 at the Argyros Performing Arts Center. To learn more, visit svpolicyforum.org. 

SUN VALLEY POLICY FORUM SUMMER INSTITUTE

The Sun Valley Policy Forum presents Winning the Culture Wars for the Next Generation, Election Integrity, and the Economy at the 2024 Sun Valley Policy Forum Summer Institute on Monday, June 24 and Tuesday, June 25 at the Argyros Performing Arts Center.

Cleta Mitchell

Winning the Culture Wars for the Next Generation, Election Integrity, and the Economy will open with Cleta Mitchell, a Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) Senior Legal Fellow and Founder of the Election Integrity Network, a nonpartisan, nonprofit platform for learning how to become more engaged and participate in the election process.

An attorney licensed in Oklahoma and the District of Columbia, Mitchell has worked on election processes, campaign finance, and political law for decades. Mitchell’s presentation, “Election Integrity: Who Counts?,” will provide an inside perspective on the U.S. electoral system, and what each of us can do to ensure integrity and maximum participation in the 2024 election and beyond.

“Cleta Mitchell is highly respected and one of the most influential people regarding election integrity in the United States. She has been one of the foremost federal election attorneys for decades. She is an expert and ethical in her integrity, which is a hot topic amongst most Americans,” says Christina Erland Culver.

Mitchell was one of the key attorneys fighting against the IRS during the Obama administration for targeting Tea Party groups. She is admitted to practice before many federal district courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. Her weekly podcast, “Who’s Counting?” explores all topics related to election integrity, the topic of her SVPF presentation.

Stephen Moore

Stephen Moore is an economist and author of six books, including Govzilla: How the Relentless Growth of Government Is Devouring Our Economy—And Our Freedom. He is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. Moore frequently lectures on the U.S. economic and political outlook and joins SVPF to present “Back to Work: Pro-Growth Economic Tax Policies,” including a moderated portion with Anita Vogel.

Moore is a University of Illinois graduate with a Master of Arts in Economics from George Mason University. He served as founder and president of the Club for Growth, an organization dedicated to helping elect freemarket candidates to Congress. In his tenure as president, the Club for Growth became one of the nation’s most influential and respected political organizations. Moore served as the senior economics writer for The Wall Street Journal editorial page and as a member of the WSJ editorial board. He remains a regular contributor to the publication. In 2007, Moore received the Ronald Reagan “Great Communicator” award from the Republican Party for advancing economic understanding. His book Return to Prosperity: How America Can Regain its Economic Superpower Status was a finalist for the F.A. Hayek Award for Advancing Economic Understanding. In 2018, Worth Magazine named Stephen Moore one of the 75 Most Influential People in the World Dealing with Economics and Finance.

Anita Vogel

Fox News correspondent and anchor Anita Vogel will moderate Stephen Moore’s presentation. Vogel spent her first ten years at Fox as a full-time correspondent in the Los Angeles bureau. Now, she is primarily based on the East Coast and freelances between New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

Vogel serves as a field reporter and fill-in anchor, covering breaking news, politics, and a variety of feature stories. Over the years, she has interviewed celebrities, politicians, and religious figures, including the Dalai Lama. She also conducted a one-onone live interview with Former President Bill Clinton, for which she received the Golden Mike Award for Best Breaking News Coverage. Now, she is mainly in the studio, filling in as a host for various Fox News programs. Vogel is also an actor and voiceover artist. As a member of SAG-AFTRA, she appears in television shows and movies, often as a newscaster or field reporter, most recently in the hit TV show 911.

Charlie Kirk

The second day of the Institute will begin with the Charlie Kirk Radio Show live at The Argyros at 10am, Mountain Time. Kirk is also the SVPF keynote speaker and will return in the evening for his presentation, “Winning the Culture Wars for the Next Generation.”

Founder and Executive Director of Turning Point USA, Kirk is one of the nation’s most intriguing voices on American culture fighting for the principles of a free society—particularly for Gen Z. Kirk will delve into pressing issues facing America today in this compelling evening. He’ll explain the growth of activism in high schools and universities aimed at the undoing of Western ideals and the importance of preserving free speech on college campuses. Kirk sheds light on the challenges facing younger generations, from their role in society to the economy. This is a timely and essential conversation with one of America’s leading voices as citizens navigate the complexities of modern-day politics and the fight for the nation’s future.

Scott Rasmussen

Before Kirk’s keynote talk, Scott Rasmussen will present “Founding Principles in Modern America” at The Argyros. Rasmussen is president of RMG Research, Inc. and a pioneer in polling, where he is continuously tapping into what America thinks. More than 20 years ago, he released the first-ever daily presidential tracking poll. The political, polling, and media world continues to change, and Rasmussen continues to innovate. His presentation will be on the thoughtful questions he has recently asked about everyday America’s beliefs in our country’s founding principles and whether they still hold true today. Rasmussen’s approach using the science he developed called Counterpolling™ surfaces the gaps—often huge— between the political elite and the nation they are supposed to serve—his results—a data-driven foundation for analysis that is an antidote to insidethe-Beltway groupthink.

Innovation has been a hallmark of Rasmussen’s career. In 1978, the then-new satellite communications technology dramatically reduced the cost of sending a broadcast signal around the nation. Building upon that opportunity, Rasmussen and his father, Bill, founded ESPN, the cable sports network. Rasmussen will be as insightful as he is entertaining.

CALLING ALL FOODIES

Come dish with Chef Art Smith and Food Network Insider Bruce Seidel

by Sabina Dana Plasse

For epicurean enthusiasts who find food a divine source for being, the Sun Valley Culinary Institute’s Welcome Party, A Summer Soiree, on Saturday, June 22 at 6pm, is serving up a gala just for you. With Southern-inspired delicious cuisine and lots of tell-tale chatter curated especially for this SVCI fundraising event, Chef Art Smith and Bruce Seidel will not only present an evening of delectable delights and spirits, but they will also share how the importance of culinary education can change lives and communities.

It is a special occasion and a unique opportunity to support SVCI’s Student Scholarship Fund, which assists with student education costs to offer a debt-free education to all matriculating students so that they can pursue a dream career in the culinary arts while supporting workforce development and the Wood River Valley’s restaurant community.

Between the two, Chef Art Smith and Bruce Seidel have served at the tables of royalty and world leaders, including Oprah Winfrey. Along with inventing new television programming that changed the culinary world and elevated many of today’s chefs to celebrity status, Chef Smith and Seidel have captured the attention of food lovers and enthusiasts everywhere and at every level of food engagement.

Each looks to food to solve societal issues, from taking care of seniors to providing go-to culinary cuisine to uplift community, such as Chef Smith’s Sporty Bird in Chicago supporting the Chicago Hounds Rugby team. Sporty Bird never strays far from Smith’s Southern roots and soulsatisfying cuisine, which includes Southern fried chicken with classic Southern sides for an elevated but fast-casual dining experience. Chef Smith notes, “Making excellent food is having an excellent story to go with it.”

Chef Art Smith was Oprah Winfrey’s chef for ten years, gaining fame and notoriety and catapulting him to becoming a world-leading culinary ambassador. His philosophy emphasizes fresh, local ingredients and innovative twists on Southern classics, showcased in acclaimed restaurants like Table Fifty-Two in Chicago. Smith also owns notable establishments such as Reunion, Homecoming, and Blue Door Kitchen, each adding to his culinary legacy. Beyond the kitchen, he’s a passionate advocate for healthy living and co-founded Common Threads, teaching children about diversity and nutrition.

“Sun Valley has an international reputation for a highquality life,” says Chef Art Smith. “To maintain this level of excellence, you must teach it and develop one’s passion. Attending culinary school was instrumental to my career and development, and the Sun Valley Culinary Institute is this resource and important community entity that serves the potential and ability to ignite successful careers in the culinary arts.”

In 2007, Chef Smith was honored by Chicago magazine as a Chicagoan of the Year and received the prestigious James Beard Foundation Humanitarian of the Year honor. In 2008, Chef Smith received an honorary MBA degree awarded by the Dedman School of Hospitality at Florida State University. He was inducted into the Chicago Culinary Museum and Chefs Hall of Fame in 2010. On September 30, 2010, Richard M. Daley, Mayor of the City of Chicago, proclaimed Chef Art Smith Day in Chicago. On May 19, 2012, Chef Art Smith received an Honorary Doctor of Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University, North Miami Campus.

“Attending culinary school was instrumental to my career and development, and the Sun Valley Culinary Institute is this resource and important community entity that serves the potential and ability to ignite successful careers in the culinary arts.”

—Chef Art Smith

“The power of food is enormous, and it brings people together. If we can help people make changes in their food, we can help save the planet too.”

—Bruce Seidel

Bruce Seidel, a longtime food industry insider and close friend to Chef Smith, is a leader in lifestyle media and brand development, with over 25 years of experience producing top food television shows and building high-profile media brands like Food Network, Cooking Channel, Animal Planet, and Discovery Channel.

“First and foremost, I always want to share food with people and have them experience it and think about it differently,” says Bruce Seidel. “It starts with young individuals who are the next generation of the food world, and the more we can teach them, the better. Food inspired me to pursue a rewarding career in the culinary arts, and it will do the same for those up-and-coming in Sun Valley.”

Seidel was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for a Media Award for The Food Flirts (PBS) for Best TV Show (on location). Over a 14-year tenure as Senior Vice President of Programming at Food Network and Cooking Channel, Seidel produced top-rated Food Network hits like Iron Chef America , Next Iron Chef, Worst Cooks in America , Food Network Star, and White House Super Chef Battle: An Iron Chef Event, while generating lasting relationships with top network talent, culinary personalities, and industry influencers.

“What I learned from my time at the Food Network was that the history of food and its origins is extremely important and can teach us about the world,” says Seidel. “The power of food is enormous, and it brings people together. If we can help people make changes in their food, we can help save the planet too.”

Exuberant and food-savvy, Chef Smith and Seidel will share insider food stories and entertaining food adventures as philanthropists and humanitarians. Their dedication to the culinary arts and expanding the reach of how food can work and bring people together has no limits.

The Welcome Party gala fundraiser will take place in a private home in Sun Valley. Expect passed appetizers, signature-crafted cocktails, silent and live auctions, and music by Valley native DJ SID3S. The main attraction will be Chef Smith’s signature fare, think fried chicken and the savory accouterments that come with it, and Oprah Winfrey’s favorite, hummingbird cake, for dessert, which should not be missed.

The evening will also include a live auction and paddleup with the return of SVCI’s favorite auctioneer, Colin McArthur. Curated live auction items are available including trips to the distinguished Ocean Reef Club located on the Caribbean-blue seas of Key Largo, Florida, and a culinary destination trip to New York City

with exquisite Manhattan accommodations and coveted reservations to Michelin-starred restaurants. These items describe only a few of the several outstanding live auction packages that are only available at The Welcome Party live auction.

“Our Valley’s service industry is in dire need of trained cooks, and our youth should have an opportunity to pursue their dreams in the culinary arts. The importance of culinary education in our community is paramount,” says SVCI Executive Director Karl Uri.

Uri adds, “SVCI offers classes and dinners, frequently led by guest and celebrated award-winning chefs, to the community for elevated culinary experiences only found in major cities. The opportunity to bring residents, visitors, businesses, and nonprofits in the Valley together around a table of great food is endless. We’re just getting started!” 

A NOTE FROM RON GREENSPAN

Sun Valley Wine Auction Chairperson

You have three days of inspired fun ahead. Each year I look forward to reconnecting with friends, many of whom I met for the first time during past years’ Wine Auctions. For those of you joining us for your first Wine Auction, a special welcome, and I trust you will leave with a coterie of new friends you will revisit year after year.

This year, while we look forward to three magical days of wine, food, and friendship, we also have the opportunity to support the Sun Valley Museum of Art. Art—both our experience of it and the making of it—is an avenue to better understand the world in which we are living. Art increases interpersonal connection and community and provides a period of contemplation and respite from a sometimes challenging external environment. The Sun Valley Museum of Art makes this possible for our entire community. Through provocative, critically acclaimed exhibitions, educational offerings in all of our Valley’s schools, both public and private, adult classes, creative and inspirational interactive speaker programs, and art education scholarships for high school students and art educators throughout the Valley, the Sun Valley Museum of Art makes the arts accessible for our entire community—adult and child, resident and visitor. All of this is made possible through your attendance at, and generous support of, the Wine Auction.

So, let’s come together as a community for a celebration of wine and a benefit for arts and education. This year, we are working hard to make the Auction even more festive and relevant to the beautiful place many of us call home. The gala

will be hosted at an unbelievably spectacular riverside estate that stretches two-thirds of a mile along the Big Wood River and will feature Jake Maurer, country western singer and Nashville favorite, who is back by popular demand. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy the always-popular Vintner Dinners and River Ranch Wine Walk, featuring more than 25 of the West Coast’s best wineries.

May the 2024 Sun Valley Museum of Art Wine Auction create lasting memories and kick off your best summer ever. I’ll see you at the Museum and the Wine Auction!

P.S. Come for the art, stay for the skiing/biking/hiking/golf/ fishing!

“Christie’s is proud to partner with the Sun Valley Museum of Art and serve as auctioneer for this important fundraising event,” says Perrin. “Since our founder’s first auction in 1766, Christie’s has offered some of the finest and rarest wines and spirits worldwide.

Perrin has worked closely with specialists in several major collecting categories, including Impressionist, Modern, 19th Century, Post-War, Contemporary Art, and Wine and Old Masters, where she started her career in New York in 1996.

THE JOFFREY BALLET MAKES THEIR SUN VALLEY DEBUT

Ballet Sun Valley’s Summer Festival Takes Flight June 29 & 30

After receiving rave reviews for a standout season on their home stage at The Lyric Opera House in Chicago, The Joffrey Ballet is now poised to make their debut at the iconic Sun Valley Pavilion.

As the featured company for Ballet Sun Valley’s (BSV) 10th Summer Festival, The Joffrey will bring more than 30 dancers from 13 countries to Sun Valley to close their remarkable 23/24 season. These artists personify a celebration of ballets’ traditionally classical roots coupled with a courageous exploration of boundary-pushing contemporary choreography. Sun Valley has an affinity for the arts, as well as athleticism, and The Joffrey Ballet is ready to deliver on both fronts.

Each night, Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30, will feature a different program of works, offering two stunning and unique experiences. Curated by Ashley Wheater MBE, Artistic Director of The Joffrey Ballet, the performances are meant to be an inspiring and uplifting experience for the audience. Wheater shares, “The works that drive us forward as a company are not all alike and in the two programs we will bring to Sun Valley we revel in the opportunity to show many different sides of our dancing. Every program for me, must cohere into some journey and exploration for the audience.”

—Chicago Sun-Times

This summer, one of the works the Sun Valley audience will have the opportunity to see is The Times Are Racing by Tony Award-winning choreographer, Justin Peck. This piece, danced in sneakers, demonstrates the breadth of what’s possible within the ballet art form. Peck’s demanding choreography is always an audience favorite and ballet patrons may recall his piece Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming performed by San Francisco Ballet at BSV’s 2019 Festival. Peck’s work will be performed alongside a classical work, Birthday Variations, by Joffrey cofounder Gerald Arpino providing a duality in the repertoire for both ballet aficionados and ballet newbies—truly something for everyone.

“Emotionally fiery and altogether virtuosic—this might very well turn out to be one of the defining masterpieces of the era.”

—WTTW, PBS Chicago

Known as the Mavericks of American Dance, The Joffrey Ballet has been blazing a path in the dance world for almost 70 years. Co-founded by Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, the company, originally based in New York, eventually found its permanent home in Chicago. In 2007, Ashley Wheater MBE became only the third Artistic Director in the Company’s storied history. In this new era, Wheater has renewed the adventurous spirit of the Company through the addition of new works, ambitious collaborations, and innovation. The Joffrey is rare in that the Company does not rank its dancers. This more open format really pushes all the dancers in terms of always improving both their technical skills and stylistic excellence.

As for Ballet Sun Valley, their mission is to provide inspirational and uplifting artistic experiences for the community through world-class dance and dance education. BSV remains flexible in its program design so that it can guarantee something fresh and captivating each season for the Sun Valley audience.

Couple this dynamic approach to programming with the stunning outdoor Sun Valley Pavilion and the result is a truly unmatched ballet experience in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

What is it that happens as the audience settles into their seats, the dancers find their spots on stage, the sun falls behind the mountains, and the air takes on that nostalgic soft quality of a magical Sun Valley summer night? The feeling is joy and during the performances this summer, graceful athletes of The Joffrey Ballet offer to us an opportunity to again feel that joy in their emotive and transportive performances. 

A NEW CHAPTER IN SUN VALLEY’S WEDDING SCENE

Unveiling Julietta Bridal and Welcoming Alpen Joy Events

“For many brides, what you wear is the cornerstone of the wedding,” says owner and curator Allison. “It’s the thing that will be photographed the most, the keepsake you’ll pass on to the next generations, and it sets the tone for almost every design choice a bride will make. I love feeling like I am part of that decision and honored that brides trust our store to help them find the dress of their dreams.”

by Aurora Wilkinson

Sun Valley, Idaho, known for its stunning mountain ranges and tight-knit community, serves as the picturesque backdrop for Julietta Bridal, a bridal sanctuary created by entrepreneur Allison Jadallah. Allison’s passion for fashion and love for weddings blend seamlessly with the beauty of the Wood River Valley, inspiring her to transform the former Manor House Bridal into a haven for brides seeking the perfect gown and an unforgettable bridal experience.

Allison’s connection to the Manor House was personal. In 2021, she purchased her wedding gown from the boutique and instantly fell in love with its charm, experience, and style.

“Now that I’m in the industry, I feel like I was always meant to do this,” reflects Allison. Her childhood fascination with clothing and design, matched by memories of dressing up with her mother, sowed the seeds of a lifelong passion that eventually blossomed into Julietta Bridal.

What sets Julietta Bridal apart is its commitment to personalized service and genuine connection. Allison emphasizes, “We build strong and lasting relationships with every bride. To us, it’s more than just an appointment.” The boutique’s low-traffic environment allows for undivided attention, ensuring that each bride feels valued, understood, and supported throughout their journey.

The bridal shopping experience at Julietta Bridal is a carefully crafted journey tailored to each bride’s unique vision and personality. The boutique’s intimate setting offers a private sanctuary where brides can relax, have fun, and explore a thoughtfully curated selection of gowns.

“When a bride finds her ‘Yes’ dress, it’s a celebration!” Allison exclaims. She speaks passionately about the magic of this moment, emphasizing that finding the perfect dress represents turning a dream into reality. Allison remains dedicated to making sure that every client has an unmatched experience, even if they don’t find their ideal gown during their visit.

“I want every bride to have the experience of a lifetime.”

—Allison Jadallah

“When they leave, they have our direct number,” Allison emphasizes. “Even if they don’t find their ‘Yes’ dress, it’s crucial that they have the best possible experience.” Allison’s commitment to providing exceptional service and personalized support ensures that every bride who walks through her doors feels valued and cherished, regardless of the outcome of their search.

Understanding that every bride is unique and requires a personalized experience, staying ahead of bridal trends is essential. Allison is deeply immersed in the world of weddings. “I’m obsessive about looking at what’s new and forecasting what’s coming,” she shares. From attending New York Bridal Fashion Week to following bridal influencers on Instagram, Allison ensures that Julietta Bridal’s collection reflects the latest styles while maintaining a timeless appeal.

As Julietta Bridal expands and rebrands into a larger space, Allison envisions a future where the boutique becomes a cherished staple of the Wood River community. “I want every bride to have the experience of a lifetime,” Allison expresses. Her vision extends beyond offering exquisite gowns. It’s about creating lasting memories and helping every bride feel confident, celebrated, and beautiful on her special day.

ALPEN JOY EVENTS

As Julietta Bridal welcomes the community, Allison has partnered with local event planner Tiffany Berger of Alpen Joy Events to host a launch event in June 2024.

In choosing the name Alpen Joy Events, Tiffany drew from her personal roots and aspirations. “Alpen” reflects both the mountainous landscape of Sun Valley and her German

heritage, while “Joy” embodies the happiness and delight she seeks to bring to her clients’ events, a sentiment close to her heart as it’s also her middle name.

For Tiffany, the experience and customer service are always top priorities.

According to Jessica Milaccio, Wedding and Special Events Manager at Sun Valley Resort, “As we are a destination wedding for most, our resort offers days of activities for the wedding party and guests to enjoy, not only to celebrate the couple but also to visit and experience an area most have never traveled to.”

Trail Creek Pavilion, Sun Valley’s most popular wedding venue, offers the perfect setting for a dramatic event. The 49’ x 114’ tent features an open floor plan with a beautifully lined ceiling, rustic wood chandeliers, interior bistro lighting,

and a stone floor. Floor-to-ceiling clear walls on the south end of the tent perfectly frame the iconic Bald Mountain’s majesty. Nearby, history echoes around you in the cozy confines of the 1937 Trail Creek Cabin Restaurant. This rustic and charming space for intimate weddings or parties is accessible yearround by sleigh, wagon, or car.

The expansive Trail Creek Grounds, surrounded by pine trees and sage-covered hills, are perfectly suited for a welcome barbecue, casual rehearsal dinner, or as an addition to the Trail Creek Pavilion venue for a cocktail reception, and feature everything from horseshoe pits and chuck wagon buffets to a log bandstand.

For exceptional indoor-outdoor elegance, River Run Lodge at the base of Bald Mountain holds court. Massive log beams, majestic river rock floor-toceiling fireplaces, elegant chandeliers, and expansive windows offer views of River Run’s slopes. Exchange nuptials on the sprawling lawn, followed by patio cocktails, dinner, and dancing in the beautiful dining room.

“As we are a destination wedding for most, our resort offers days of activities for the wedding party and guests to enjoy, not only to celebrate the couple but also to visit and experience an area most have never traveled to.”

—Jessica Milaccio

The posh yet ‘Idaho casual’ Sun Valley Club is the most popular indoor or outdoor winter venue, with a wraparound terrace providing stunning Baldy and Dollar Mountain views. If you prefer a little venue attitude, pick up altitude via Sun Valley’s gondola and check out Roundhouse Restaurant, built-in 1939. Stunning views of five mountain ranges provide the backdrop for an intimate rehearsal dinner or cozy romantic wedding in this genuinely charming, historic structure. A beautiful 2,400-square-foot paver stone platform can accommodate up to 200 guests for the ceremony, followed by a cocktail reception on the Roundhouse deck and dinner under the stars on the River Run lawn. Sun Valley venues will elevate your dream wedding event with a history and authenticity that cannot be found anywhere else. 

SEE YOU IN THE SAWTOOTHS

Stanley’s beloved music festival returns June 20-23

by Lori Williams

Rosin up that bow cuz the Sawtooths are set to vibrate with the sweet sounds of the best-kept music festival secret in one of the greatest live music towns in the country. It’s time for the Sawtooth Valley Gathering (SVG) in Stanley, Idaho. This beloved event boasts four days and nights of folk rock and roots, Americana, bluegrass, and more, and if you’re a fan of Pixie & the Partygrass Boys, then:

We’ll be singing, my friend, howlin’ to the moon ‘til the end— stand on a mountaintop with me, dance, dance, darlin’, just be free!

“The 9th annual Sawtooth Valley Gathering is poised to be our best festival to date, with 30-plus live performances from some of the most accomplished songwriters and musicians performing around the country,” says founder James Fowler.

In addition to Pioneer Park’s outdoor stages, latenight shows press on at the legendary Mountain Village Resort’s Velvet Falls Dance Hall and the Kasino Club. The Sawtooth Valley Gathering is an authentic musical experience like no other. It’s walkable, affordable, and family-friendly. The festival kicks off this year on Wednesday, June 19, with a pre-party at 9pm at Kasino Club, followed by Thursday, June 20, and Sunday, June 23, at Mountain Village Resort, and Stanley Pioneer Park on Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22. In addition, local and regional vendors are on-site and in Stanley, providing beverages, food, arts and crafts, workshops ranging from songwriting to line dancing, and more to create this celebrated summer experience.

New this year, Thursday late-nights are free to all attendees with a Festival Pass. Friday and Saturday late nights are a combined ticket for both Mountain Village Resort and Kasino Club. Says Fowler, “We will be featuring brunch sets on Friday and Saturday from 11am-3pm at both late-night venues, and starting at 3pm at Pioneer Park.”

“This event wouldn’t happen without the hundreds of volunteers from around the Northwest and beyond. Additionally, the locals and business owners of the City of Stanley are very welcoming. We love this community and are very privileged to work up here.”

—James Fowler

Friday headliners, The California Honeydrops, return from 2021. This retro-soul outfit has become a festival mainstay and toured with B.B. King, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, and Allen Toussaint. They have perfected the art of improvisation—a skill so finely honed that they have completely abandoned the use of set lists, and no two shows are ever the same.

Arguably the biggest band in Montana right now, the Kitchen Dwellers will play two sets on Thursday. They weave bluegrass, folk, and rock through a treasure of homegrown stories to captivating tunes that’ll have you up dancing. Also, Donovan Frankenreiter graces Thursday’s lineup and brings his unique blend of laid-back grooves.

For their third appearance at the Sawtooth Valley Gathering, Pixie & the Partygrass Boys are guaranteed to bring the most fun possible with their high-velocity instrumentals, songwriting excellence, and sing-along anthems.

Saturday night’s headliner features Andy Frasco and the U.N., whose performances have been described as a “boisterous blend of harmonic funk and jazzy influences, all topped with boundless energy.” Frasco is the consummate showman, who plays with reckless abandonment and a disregard for the rules, with witty lyrics to back it all up. Shows are highly improvisational and promise to be a rollicking ride of fabulous feel-good music.

An epic Sunday closeout features two bands, ALO and Free Peoples. The laid-back California group ALO calls their music “jam-pop” and the description is apt—meticulously crafted, with accessibly hooked compositions laced with improvisational departures. Free Peoples have been playing Stanley for 20 years and are as good as it gets—downhome rustic charm kicking a high kind of energy with great grooves and impeccable musicianship. Free Peoples will play a separate ticketed late night show at Mountain Village Resort on Sunday.

Other notables performing at the Sawtooth Valley Gathering—the ‘one-man jam-band,’ Keller Williams, makes his debut this year. His talent can’t be overstated, and the lively fun he brings out of a guitar is at the next level. The critically acclaimed international folk singer Steve Poltz returns. Steve co-wrote “You Were Meant for Me” for Jewel, and he has quietly emerged as the kind of live phenomenon celebrated passionately by a diehard fanbase and is renowned as a festival favorite everywhere.

The late-night schedule split between Kasino Club and Mountain Village Resort features Free Creatures, Free Peoples, Floating Witch’s Head, Jupiter Holiday, Watkins Glen, The Live Oaks, David Henry Sather-Smith, Aniana, and Marshall House Project. All late-night shows are +21.

The California Honeydrops PHOTO

“There’s a lot of incredible music and unforgettable performances coming to Stanley,” says Fowler. One of our partners, Sawtooth Brewery, is debuting a special Pilsner dedicated to the Sawtooth Valley Gathering, and Go-Go Squeeze Active Yogurt sponsors our kids tent this year, which will be expanded.”

Fowler adds, “This event wouldn’t happen without the hundreds of volunteers from around the Northwest and beyond. Additionally, the locals and business owners of the City of Stanley are very welcoming. We love this community and are very privileged to work up here.”

For every festival pass purchased and every single-day ticket sale, $1 is donated to four Sawtooth Valley nonprofits. Camping is available at Sawtooth Valley Pioneer Park, and Mountain Village Resort’s properties. Festival attendees must have a SVG festival pass to camp at any of the SVG designated campsites. Ticketing is online and at the box office in Stanley. Summer evenings in June can be chilly, so come prepared with extra warm clothes and blankets. 

“Designing a kitchen for a multigenerational home is about creating a space that provides connection and comfort,” says Jennifer Hoey Smith of Suede Studio. “Including two kitchen islands in this layout adds functionality and encourages social interaction. With plenty of living space seamlessly integrated, this kitchen becomes the heart of the home. This thoughtful design prioritizes every family member’s needs, ensuring a practical and inviting space.”

WELCOMING SUMMER

“With spring here and summer weather around the corner, our spaces transition,” says Marina Broschofsky, owner of Red Door Home + Design. “We’re opening doors, dusting ourselves off, welcoming the outside in and the inside out.”

WHEN WHITE IS WARM

“We love a nice bright white, but here’s the thing, we live in a place that includes a lot of white for about five months out of the year—give or take,” says Allison Connolly, owner of Allison Paige Interior Design. “Along with the months of white scape come long nights and cold days, so it’s essential to be conscious of the white tones we use inside our homes. Some of our gotos are Benjamin Moore Pale Oak for walls, weathered white Zellige for wall tile, and limestone on floors. Trust us. This is a white scheme that will keep you warm and bright all year long.”

Outside of clinical settings, one significant way St. Luke’s carries out its mission—to improve people’s health in our communities—is through the Community Health Improvement Fund (CHIF), which provides financial support to many of our community partners.

Eighty-five non-profit organizations across the Treasure Valley, West Treasure Valley, Elmore County, Valley County, Adams County, and the Wood River Valley regions will receive $686,295 in CHIF grants this year. St. Luke’s will invest $328,700 in Magic Valley nonprofits this year.

When choosing how to distribute the grants, St. Luke’s gave special consideration to organizations whose proposals target significant health needs identified through St. Luke’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Consideration is also given to nonprofit organizations that work collaboratively and have equity-driven approaches to address community health needs or social determinants of health, such as safe neighborhoods, transportation, and access to nutritious foods. Because the assessment is quantitative and qualitative, it considers the voices of local experts and community members to identify needs based on their lived experiences.

Theresa McLeod, St. Luke’s Health System (SLHS) administrator of community health and engagement, explains, “The (CHNA) allows us to pinpoint, assess, and address each community’s most critical needs. St. Luke’s uses the information to guide the types of health improvement programs we provide and support with community partners.”

St. Luke’s Wood River Community Board Chair Eric Thomas adds, “While hospitals are typically associated with clinical care, St. Luke’s Health System goes beyond hospital walls to provide extensive support to our community. I am grateful for St. Luke’s commitment to investing in our local partners who align with St. Luke’s mission of enhancing the health and well-being of all community members. We recognize that it requires all of us to do our utmost in concert to address the social determinants of health gaps and the needs that arise as a consequence.”

Prioritized community health needs include:

 Affordable housing and homelessness

 Behavioral health, including mental health and well-being, suicide prevention, and substance misuse

 Access to affordable health care, including oral and vision health

 Access to health-related services, including improving language and cultural barriers

 Cost of living, including caregiving and early learning

 To enhance healthy air and water quality

Six organizations in the Wood River Valley were awarded CHIF grants: Family Health Services, Far + Wise, Men’s Second Chance Living, The Senior Connection, Syringa Mountain School, and the Wood River Community YMCA.

Sarah Seppa, St. Luke’s Wood River’s Director of Community Engagement, speaks to the meaningful impact these organizations and their programs can have. “Our community partners are all doing amazing work throughout our Valley,” she says. “I am always impressed with the thoughtfulness and thoroughness that go into providing programs and services that work to prevent and help individuals overcome obstacles to physical and mental health. They often dedicate their heart, skills, time, and other resources, going above and beyond to make a difference. It’s rewarding to be able to assist with a CHIF grant to further the work that they do.”

Every year, the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation (SLWRF) also awards community grant funds to local, non-profit organizations working to address the community’s most significant health needs. Last year, organizations received grant awards totaling nearly $250,000 from SLWRF, including Family Health Services, Men’s Second Chance Living, The Senior Connection, and The Wood River Community YMCA. 

ST. LUKE’S HEALTH SYSTEM CHIF GRANT RECIPIENTS

FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES

Family Health Services, located in Bellevue, serves the uninsured and under-insured in Blaine County. A $1 million grant from the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation (SLWRF) helped make the Bellevue clinic a reality. SLWRF and St. Luke’s continue to award grant funds to provide funding for high-quality, culturally sensitive primary medical, dental, behavioral health, social services, and discount pharmacy services that are affordable and accessible. The 2024 CHIF grant will help address access to dental care. In the last 12 months, approximately 996 unique patients accessed medical care in the Bellevue clinic over 2,241 separate encounters. Nearly five hundred (473) unique patients accessed affordable dental care over 1,001 separate encounters, and 109 patients accessed enabling services over 254 separate encounters.

“Family Health Services is extremely grateful for being awarded the Community Health Improvement Fund grant by St. Luke’s. These funds will allow us to purchase much-needed dental equipment and supplies for our Bellevue clinic. The equipment and supplies will allow FHS to continue to provide primary dental services to our low-income patients who don’t have insurance coverage. The grant was also used to purchase hygiene kits for home use for adults, children, and babies who struggle to afford these important dental products. Thank you to St. Luke’s, SLWRF, and the Community Health Improvement Fund for partnering with FHS to keep the Wood River Valley healthy,” comments Aaron Houston, Family Health Services CEO.

FAR + WISE

Far + Wise is committed to helping under-resourced children in our community change their lives through the power of education. “We provide our students free, longterm academic, social-emotional, and life skills support, enrichment opportunities, college and career preparation, and family engagement. What makes our approach so unique is our personal, year-round engagement with the same youth group, from early elementary through high school and beyond,” explains Executive Director Laura Rose-Lewis. In their Elementary Program, social-emotional learning (SEL) is integral to their programming. She adds, “We know that when children can manage communication, emotions, and conflicts, and create dependable, connected relationships and trust, their emotional and mental well-being is improved, and they are better able to learn and achieve academic success.”

St. Luke’s CHIF funding supports social-emotional learning in their Elementary Program and other grades during the academic year. “SEL development has always been a part of our mission, but we see an increasing need for SEL support in our elementary students. Approximately 50% of each cohort has SEL challenges, and up to 25% require focused small group or 1-to-1 support. Our Child Development Specialist spends one day a week with each of our five cohorts, providing support for SEL development at the classroom and individual levels. We are grateful for the ongoing support from St. Luke’s,” states Lewis.

MEN’S SECOND CHANCE LIVING

Men’s Second Chance Living (MSCL) House provides safe and sober living to adult men in early recovery from substance use disorder. Executive Director Sonya Wilander explains, “Our programs provide wraparound support and skills necessary for residents to reintegrate, becoming independent and engaged community members.”

Programs include a safe and sober living house, funding for counseling, preventative dental and medical care, crisis care, financial education classes, matched savings accounts, education costs, and nutrition assistance.

“Through our programs, MSCL House addresses four top-ranking community health needs identified by St. Luke’s 2023 CHNA. Housing is the most critical pillar of our mission,” adds Wilander. “Blaine County has a housing crisis with scarcity and inflated costs, making

finding any housing, much less safe and sober housing, tough. Our programs are holistic and go well beyond housing. With the foundational need for housing in place, the men address the root causes and impacts of substance dependency and work constructively to improve their futures. Our additional proven programs include funding and support for physical and mental healthcare. We partner with outstanding local providers who offer our residents reduced cost or free care, addressing not only urgent concerns but also helping establish relationships with the healthcare system and fostering an understanding of the importance of preventative and continuing care. Residents in both houses reported using these services during their stay at MSCL House and that this access was critical in their recovery process.”

THE SENIOR CONNECTION

The Senior Connection will use the generosity of the St. Luke’s Community Health Improvement Fund towards the Vision & Hearing Center to help ensure the support of 100% of the seniors who walk through their doors, and no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. “Loss of these senses contributes to isolation as older adults can no longer participate in fulfilling activities with their family and friends like they did before. Our older adult community (approximately 5,545 adults 65+ according to the U.S. Census Bureau) will have access to these services that will help them maintain their quality of life and overall wellbeing,” says Mary Simms, Director of Donor and Community Relations. Supporting the Vision & Hearing Center is critical in providing proximate access to these health services that would not otherwise be available in the Valley.

SYRINGA MOUNTAIN SCHOOL

Syringa Mountain School, located in Hailey, is developing a social group program for kindergarten through 8th-grade students. The social groups, focusing on those needing social-emotional support, are guided by licensed counselors skilled in addressing contemporary emotional and social challenges and help students navigate the challenges of the post-COVID era, where many students may feel isolated, anxious, or uncertain. The groups add to mental wellbeing by fostering understanding and connection in a safe environment. Director Christi Thompson notes, “Importantly, our project considers and accommodates different cultural

backgrounds and linguistic needs. It can help bridge language and cultural barriers, ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, have access to vital emotional support.”

WOOD RIVER COMMUNITY YMCA

The purpose of a YMCA is to bring together the whole community and create a sense of belonging while working in youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The advent of the pandemic transformed the need in our community and, consequently, the nature of the Wood River Community YMCA. “We are now serving more than 30% of our community’s children, as identified and recruited by our school district, to recover lost learning days or to create equity for children who are 1-2 tiers below grade level in reading or who are English language learners,” explains Executive Director Jason Scherer.

The Wood River Community Y formed partnerships with the College of Idaho, Teach for America, Far + Wise (formerly I Have A Dream Foundation), Lee Pesky Learning Center, and our local public and private schools to open pop-up schools in old buildings or to reopen school buildings during the summer and enroll over 300 kids in the SummerBridge program. In addition to literacy, they provided education through agriculture and the environment, school-age care for low-income children, drowning prevention, and social-emotional learning.

St. Luke’s begins accepting CHIF grant applications from non-profit organizations every summer. In the Treasure Valley, McCall, and Wood River, applications open in August and close on Sept. 30. Magic Valley accepts applications two times a year, in February and July. Each application is reviewed by multiple committees, expert volunteers, and St. Luke’s leaders. As part of the grant award, receiving organizations must submit an ‘Activation Report’ by October 1, outlining how the grant dollars were used and where the impact was made.

THE 5 DAY RESET

CENTERED continues to reach new heights of innovation in the neurologically-based consciousness space

We are thrilled to launch our “5 day RESET” program, which combines neurologically-based methods with consciousness-based practices specifically aligned to balance the nervous system and create a robust and transformative experience. The goal is an accelerated result of positive health, inspiration, and connection, set in the energetically healing environment of Sun Valley and its natural tranquility, energy, and beauty.

The impact of integrating solution-oriented neurologicallybased methods with modalities that regenerate cellular and mitochondrial function, combined with consciousness-based approaches, is innovative and progressive.

The program is crafted to integrate and transformative modalities to achieve physical, neurological, mental, and emotional clarity, strength, and optimization. The programs are geared towards charging up, feeling balanced, and high energy.

Each participant receives a personalized plan, starting with a goal-setting discovery consultation and continuing with a custom plan tailored to the individual and designed to establish a firm foundation for a level of health that may not even have been thought possible: pain-free, mentally clear, inspired for life, contributing positively.

We aim to accelerate all participants on a proper health and healing trajectory.

These resets are appropriate for those struggling with low energy, autoimmune, hormonal imbalance, chronic and complicated conditions, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, pain, allergies, digestive issues, and more.

The mission of the resets is to accelerate all participants on a path of inspired health. The shifts felt during the week are meant to charge participants up for months to come, and be repeated when needed.

Our event is alcohol and substance-free and focused on transformation, balance, inspiration and awakened purpose, alignment and consciousness. 

LET FREEDOM RING AND BALDY SING

Baldy Bluebird Music Festival debuts

by Lori Williams

Freedom won’t be the only thing ringing this Fourth of July holiday when the inaugural Baldy Bluebird Festival settles in at River Run Plaza, delivering epic reverberations all the way to Baldy’s sunset blush. RJK Entertainment and Sun Valley Resort present two jampacked evenings of powerful live music with harmonies, vibes, and guitar twangs that’ll bring the Idaho stars down in firework fashion. The pure country of Midland and the gritty, gorgeous vocals of Grace Potter—both Grammy Award-nominated—headline respectively for the two-night independence holiday festival, supported by the likes of Charlie Worsham and JD Clayton and home-grown talent Axel Diehl and Ketchum’s own The Pisten Bullys.

“You will not want to miss these two evenings of live music and great times in Sun Valley during the 4th of July,” says Ryan Kolquist, owner of RJK Entertainment, LLC. “We are focused on making the inaugural Baldy Bluebird Music Festival an absolute success, an epic show for the entire family from national acts to local talent.”

The event is not just about music. It’s also about giving back. It benefits two local nonprofit organizations, the Wood River Baseball Association and the Blaine County Charitable Fund, which provides emergency rental assistance and other help to families experiencing temporary crises.

Born and raised in Sun Valley, Idaho, Axel Diehl opens the fest with music firmly planted in his roots but laced with a Nashville infusion. Then, Charlie Worsham takes the stage as the feature on the 4th. The acclaimed singer/songwriter and celebrated multi-instrumentalist has been a mainstay in

the country music scene both as a former member of Old Crow Medicine Show and as a solo performer, touring with major acts from Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert to Brad Paisley and Kenny Rodgers. He continues to tour as part of Dierks Bentley’s band and was honored with the ACM Award for Acoustic Guitar Player of the Year.

Headlining Thursday, double Grammy® nominees Midland, from Dripping Springs, Texas, bring their rich traditional country sound, thick harmonies, and tart lyrics to Idaho. Midland has spent the past few years on the road, selling out headline tours from coast to coast as well as getting to support some of country music’s biggest stars like George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Tim McGraw. They’re a genuine trio that has stood the test of history in an industry where only a handful of bands figure out how to stay together—Mark Wystrach fronts the band’s rich sound that is rounded out with lead guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson and bass player/vocalist Cameron Duddy. All three write songs. With a noholds-barred ambition, Wystrach said in a 2020 Washington Post interview, “When you start out, everybody says you should find your lane and stay in it, but we’re not interested in staying in that lane. We don’t want to just compete with country bands. We want to be a great band.”

Midland released their last album in 2022, The Last Resort: Greetings From, but the trio is imminently poised to release their latest, with an initial single, “Up in Texas,” that dropped in

From left: Pisten Bullys’ James Tautkus, Sean Kovich, Drew Kirk, and Chris Zarkos

December—essentially a love letter to the state in which the group formed. Speaking with Texas Music Magazine this past February about the new collection, Cameron Duddy said, “I can say that this is the most poignant thing that we’ve ever recorded, and really a level up in terms of songwriting and musicianship.” Get ready to go big with Texas love. Fireworks follow the concert at the Sun Valley Resort.

Baldy Bluebird continues on the 5th with more soulful sounds of the West and country rock. Local to the Ketchum, Idaho, country music scene, The Pisten Bullys bring their experiences in Western Idaho to life through a unique altcountry sound. Kolquist says, “The Pisten Bullys are one of the few bands in the area that can hold a crowd and adapt to any situation.”

Then it’s Arkansas-born singer/songwriter JD Clayton, whose 2023 debut album, Long Way From Home, received overwhelming critical acclaim. Clayton delivers earnest lyrics and lived-in vocals for a timeless sound, confirming the hallmarks of a genuine craftsman of country music.

In her signature unapologetic and powerful fashion, Grammy-nominated Grace Potter closes the festival on Friday night. Her current Mother Road album is an explosion of creativity following a period of emotional crisis, resulting in a magnificent collection of raw personal history and

emotion-fusing soul, blues, country, and timeless rockn-roll in the cinematic nature of storytelling. It marks the start of a thrilling new era in a career that includes churning out seven acclaimed albums, sharing the stage with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, and the Allman Brothers Band, and playing nearly every major music festival. Mother Road began as Potter’s self-directed timetravel road trip escape but emerged as an arrival from a long journey into her personal history of life, love, and belonging.

“It was me really arriving at who I’ve always been and exploring the urges and the natural proclivity to wander and to ask questions in a way that actually felt very honest and true to me,” Potter says. “I’m just very comfortable in my skin now, and I know what I do and what my job is, and I didn’t know that before. I have a voice and gift, and I love storytelling. Mother Road is certainly the next chapter in my history book, if not the story of the rest of my life.” 

314 Second Avenue South | Hailey 208.578.9122

svmoa.org

Intertwined: Weaving in Community considers ways artists have used traditional weaving as social practice and a platform for activism. The exhibition features artwork by Portland-based artist Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos), Los Angeles-based artist Tanya Aguiñiga, and AMBOS (Art Made Between Opposite Sides), a collective that Aguiñiga founded in 2016.

Artist Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos) has created a selfsustaining weaving program for the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw people. Siestreem is an activist who uses the practice and teaching of traditional Native weaving to preserve Indigenous knowledge while healing communities and the relationship between humans and the environment. The exhibition includes a newly commissioned sculpture made from ceramic, fiber, and a variety of natural and human-made materials, as well as woven, 3-D printed, and cast ceramic baskets. Also a painter and printmaker, Siestreem makes large-scale works on paper and board covered with patterns, marks, and imagery related to her weaving practice and activism.

Tanya Aguiñiga was born in San Diego, California, and raised in Tijuana, Mexico. Her experiences as a binational citizen who crossed the border daily for school inform her

approach to textiles and other forms of craft. Drawing on Mesoamerican and Indigenous Andean weaving traditions, Aguiñiga makes sculptures that are radically contemporary. These sculptures often reference the human body, including terracotta hands, other body parts, or synthetic hair. She thinks of some of them as portraits—woven figures, sometimes interconnected like networks of family or friends.

Aguiñiga, artist Natalie Godinez, and other members of the collective AMBOS are working with SVMoA to develop a community-based fiber artwork in the Wood River Valley. The artwork will emerge from workshops held with community partners in Tijuana, Bellevue, and Hailey and will grow over the exhibition as visitors add to it, incorporating their handwork and stories into the project. The exhibition also includes AMBOS’s Border Quipu/ Quipu Fronterizo, an enormous sculptural fiber work made by thousands of participants on both sides of the US-Mexico border between 2016 and 2018. Inspired by Andean preColumbian quipus, systems of knotted strings used to store information and knowledge, the Border Quipu allowed participants to share their own stories of life on the border.

TINA BARNEY: HOMECOMING

June 21–September 7

Tina Barney: Homecoming features photographs Tina Barney made between 1976 and 1980, when the internationally renowned artist was living in Ketchum, Idaho, and taking photography classes at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts (now Sun Valley Museum of Art). Made with a Pentax 35mm camera, the images document the daily life and activities of the people closest to Barney. They represent a key stage in her trajectory as an artist, before she began working with a largeformat camera to make carefully composed and directed photographs. In contrast, the images in this exhibition, which were made in Sun Valley, Rhode Island, and New York, are more spontaneous. But like her later photographs, these early works illuminate the subtle interactions and psychological tensions that occur among family and friends in moments of leisure— at weddings and on squash courts, at the beach, waterpark, or ski race.

ROB DAVIS: RECORDS

June 21–September 7

Born in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1970, the artist Rob Davis has spent the past six years making paintings that mine his childhood memories— specifically those from ages five to eight, a time of “magical thinking” among children. His hyperrealist images depict empty kitchen tables, living rooms, and porches; piles of records and plants in macrame holders. While Davis’s paintings emerge from his own lived experience, their investigation of the domestic possesses universal resonance for all viewers, particularly those familiar with the 1970s.

A JOURNEY THROUGH MUSIC AND MOUNTAINS

An interview with Mike Harris of Old Crow Medicine Show

by Lily Martin

In the heart of country music lies a band with roots that dig deep into the rich soil of American folk tradition. For 25 years, Old Crow Medicine Show has woven tales of love, loss, and life’s journey through soulful melodies and foot-stomping rhythms. Recently, I had the privilege of speaking with Mike Harris, a member of the band, as we delved into their musical odyssey, inspirations, and an eagerly anticipated performance on Wednesday, June 19, at the Sun Valley Pavilion in Idaho.

Old Crow Medicine Show was formed in 1998 by legendary lead singer Ketch Secor. The band’s lineup has evolved over the years but has consistently featured a blend of talented musicians who share a passion for American folk music. From humble beginnings busking across upstate New York and up through Canada, their sound emerged—a fusion of raw energy and old-time charm, drawing inspiration from the

deep well of American folk tradition. Musicians like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie served as major influences for the band from the beginning. The Old Crow’s breakout record, OCS , captivated audiences with iconic hits like “(Rock Me Mama Like a) Wagon Wheel,” igniting a fervor that continues to resonate with fans today.

Mike Harris’s journey with the band began as a fan and as a friend. Old Crow’s original sound and sheer musical talent struck a chord with him during his college days. Mike’s path intertwined with the band’s a few years postgrad, ultimately resulting in a call to join their musical family in 2021. He offers an arsenal of musical talents, primarily serving as slide guitarist, banjo, mandolin, and vocals. “At the time that they asked me to join the band, I told them I was available except for one important date on my calendar that I had already blocked out. It was to attend and play a family wedding at Trail Creek Lodge in Sun Valley.”

When asked about some of his favorite performances, Mike describes how the band always looks forward to their hometown shows over the New Year’s holiday at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. “This is the most beloved and sacred music performance hall, not only in Nashville but country music in general,” he says. “It’s the most storied home of the Grand Ole Opry.” Mike adds that he also loves any opportunities allowing the band to travel to the American West. “There’s just no place like it.”

Old Crow Medicine Show asserts a reverence for tradition, a commitment to storytelling, and a willingness to push musical boundaries. Their latest album, Jubilee, pays homage to their acoustic and folk roots while celebrating 25 years of musical evolution. With tracks like “Jubilee

Jones,” the band weaves a tapestry of tales that mirror their journey and the characters who have shaped it along the way. “The band started out playing on street corners, relying on the gratuity of passersby, just spreading the gospel of music,” he shares. “Looking ahead, Mike hints at new musical horizons while remaining grounded in the band’s unwavering dedication to their craft. For Old Crow Medicine Show, the stage is a sacred space—a place where their music comes alive, forging connections with fans and singing the timeless message of hope and healing.

Mike’s excitement for their upcoming performance in Ketchum is palpable, having visited the area multiple times and even purchasing a year-round out-of-state fishing permit in anticipation of his 24-hour return. “I basically have a Sun Valley bingo card of all the fun things I want to power-pack into one day,” he tells. “If I wake up really early and get out to Warm Springs at sunup, I can get some fishing in, maybe even play a round of golf, and still be back in time for sound check.” I asked Mike where we should start looking in case he loses track of time, to which he replied, “at Atkinsons’, clearing out their supply of Sun Valley Mustard or taking over Touch Tunes at Grumpy’s.” 

Andrew Bolam, Lori McNee, and Dave LaMure

Artists’ Reception Friday, July 5, 5-7:30pm

This will be English-born Andrew Bolam’s first exhibition at the gallery. His acrylic paintings follow two separate yet linked directions, building abstract marks into recognizable imagery and using silhouettes of animals to elicit an emotional connection to his paintings. His love of the American West is evident in his images of deer, elk, and bears roaming through aspen trees and in his Native American subjects.

Local artist Lori McNee is talented in several disciplines, including landscape and her ever-popular still-life subject matter. Her work is opulent in color and texture, and her imagery is as ornamented by detail as it is rich in symbolism. Lori is an exhibiting member of Oil Painters

of America and Plein Air Painters of Idaho. Besides painting, she shares valuable tips on fine art, art business, and social media on her blog, FineArtTips.com.

Lori has ranked as one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women on Twitter and was named a TwitterPowerhouse by The Huffington Post.

Sculpture by Magic Valley artist Dave LaMure will complete this exhibition. LaMure’s inspiration is tethered by his love of the outdoors. His bold forms capture the rhythm of life in the various animals he portrays in his large-scale vessels and wildlife bronzes. His monumental sculpture depicting native Cutthroat trout can be viewed in the gallery courtyard.

Gilman Contemporary

Nick Brandt

SINK / RISE

Gilman Contemporary presents SINK / RISE , the third chapter of The Day May Break, Nick Brandt’s ongoing global series portraying those impacted by environmental destruction and climate change.

This third chapter focuses on South Pacific Islanders impacted by rising oceans from climate change. Photographed in-camera underwater in the ocean off the coast of the Fijian islands, the local people in these images represent the many whose homes, land, and livelihoods will be lost in the coming decades as the water rises. Despite the surreal, semi-theatrical settings in which these portraits occur, Brandt’s images are direct, uncluttered, and free from distractions. This combination

of ambitious fantasy and exquisite restraint is a signature of Brandt’s work, rarely seen elsewhere.

Gilman Contemporary is proud to present this original body of work for the first time in the U.S., representing an entirely new approach to climate-conscious photography. Much more than a call to responsibility, Nick Brandt’s images rethink the link between generations, which, according to him, is one of the keys to a sustainable future.

We all need to consider the question: Are we being good ancestors?

In painter Thai Mainhard’s exhibition Off the Ground, vibrant, frenetic colors are collaged, painted, and drawn onto canvases that show a sense of composition and experience. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and based in Los Angeles, California, Mainhard brings a personal exploration of place into each of her paintings. In her newest body of work, Mainhard embraces tangible objects through an exploration of the composed still life. Expressively rendered maximalist spaces are filled with swatches of bright color, checkered tablecloths, and patterned vases of loosely rendered botanicals offer a lingering invitation. These composed paintings are the physical embodiment of the artist’s internal world and life experience, harnessing the tension between chaos and order, figurative composition, and expressive abstraction.

Best of the West

Best of the West is a group show of gallery artists with an array of subjects and interpretations of the American West, historical through contemporary. Displaying vintage photographs from Edward Curtis’ 30-year project, “The North American Indian” (1898–1928), across the board to western pop works from Andy Warhol’s “Cowboys and Indians” series (1986).

Other artists’ works include David Yarrow’s large-scale photographic works that often evoke a feeling of curiosity, laughter, and awe with their spectacular backgrounds, recognizable models, eccentric Western characters, and trained animals.

Broschofsky Galleries also highlights recent acquisitions of paintings by Russell Chatham. In viewing a Chatham painting, one typically feels recognition of place. What is revealed is a feeling, a sense of emotion that goes deeper than the visual mind.

Other works will be on display by gallery artists: Bill Barrett, Emil Bisttram, Rudi Broschofsky, Jim Dine, Joellyn Duesberry, Ewoud de Groot, William Matthews, Joan Mitchell, Ken Peloke, Billy Schenck, Theodore Villa, Russell Young, and more.

Granade & Vincent Pocsik

Silent Spines

Through July 6

OCHI is pleased to present Silent Spines, a two-person exhibition of new work by Los Angelesbased artists Rives Granade and Vincent Pocsik. This is Granade’s fifth presentation with the gallery and Pocsik’s first.

Silent Spines pairs Rives Granade’s abstract paintings and Vincent Pocsik’s anthropomorphic lamp sculptures to complement one another as they push conventional boundaries in their respective forms— Granade in an exploration of consciousness and Pocsik via his innovative approach to form and design. Both artists take an imaginative approach to their work to present unusual curves, shapes, and textures.

Rives Granade

Rives Granade’s expressive canvases pay homage to the essence of drawing as they transform fragments from his daily experiences into images teeming with figures, forms, and symbols. Intricacies from his life and within the studio give rise to moments of simultaneous clarity and obscurity—found images and ideas become rhythmic reflections on existential themes. Granade’s journey with abstraction has become notably introspective and most recently evolved into a conduit for personal expression; his paintings exist as repositories for thoughts, reminders, schedules, and snippets of biography and bibliography. Much like the ancient paintings in the Lascaux Caves and the graffiti etched into the Temple of Poseidon, Granade employs a variety of techniques to document time, layering, echoing, and affirming his presence in the world. Embracing visions, thoughts, yearnings, recollections, and reveries—a lifelong commitment to communication and mystification manifests in Granade’s fluid portrayals of myriad inner identities.

Vincent Pocsik

Vincent Pocsik creates unconventional anthropomorphic sculptures that double as freestanding lamps. Each sculpture depicts a solitary figure featuring elongated legs, a twisted torso, and a lampshade as its head. Exquisitely crafted and intriguingly surreal, these illuminated sculptures embody contemplative beings. Simultaneously serene and introspective, Pocsik converges the natural and the fantastical to offer a poised exploration of the human form and evoke a sense of ease. Trained as an architect, Pocsik initiates his process by sketching his envisioned piece from various angles using pencil and paper. He then translates these sketches into digital form using Maya, an animation software, which he considers his “personal space.” Refining the shape further, he employs ZBrush and Rhino3D. The wooden elements of the sculpture are then roughly cut using a CNC Router and assembled using glue. Finally, Pocsik meticulously hand carves and sands the sculpture to achieve its flawless form.

Nicolas Africano

Nicolas Africano will be featured in a solo exhibition presenting new sculpture, painting, and drawings. These works are about the human experience. Therefore, subject matter is of primary concern. The figures in his work reflect the artist’s personal experiences, events from childhood and collectively represent “every man.” Africano’s depictions of androgynous beings, cast in glass, arise as delicate, contemplative, and crystalline idols. His works are included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

In Bloom II

The exhibition features different artists’ interpretations of botanicals across various mediums. This selection of artwork serves to illustrate the sensuous beauty of flowers, as well as the symbolism found within the cyclical nature of life. In her prints, Hung Liu adopts and interprets traditional Chinese images of flowers, incorporating their historical significance. Valerie Hammond posits leafy vines as common threads through nature and spirituality. Laura McPhee’s large-format photography captures the beauty of Idaho wildflowers

while exploring the intersection of man and nature. Kathy Moss’s large-scale paintings serve as archetypes, relying on the psychological associations we assign to flowers. Works on a more intimate scale will also be featured, such as beeswax collages by Kenna Moser and chiaroscuro tulips by Michael Gregory. Additional artists include Andrew Weir, Tom Hammick, Diane Andrews Hall, and Sheila Gardner, among others.

PIONEER SALOON

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 and ribs, healthy vegetarian dishes, fresh seafood, unique pasta bowls, nightly specials and much more.

In the bar enjoy handcrafted cocktails, 18 wines by the glass, and 12 ice-cold craft brews on tap. Dinner offerings this summer include fresh Idaho trout, filet mignon, linguine with clams and garlic, chicken Senegalese, mesquite rack of lamb, grilled ribeye steak, fresh steelhead salmon, butternut squash ravioli, barbeque baby back ribs, Waygu beef meatloaf, New Orleans shellfish pasta, roasted free-range chicken, fresh Alaskan halibut, seared ahi salad, spicy sesame noodle bowl and fresh Willapa Bay steamer clams, to name just a few.

All of our grilling is done over a live mesquite-wood fire. We do not use processed charcoal or wood chips, only authentic mesquite logs from Texas. 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.

An award-winning wine list complements the wonderful food, and summer evenings on the 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!”

Top to bottom: Mesquite-grilled Idaho ruby red trout; cozy fireplace with selections from our award-winning wine list; summer view from the balcony patio.

THE CELLAR PUB

Walking down the stairs into this traditional pub is a rite of passage for any visitor to Ketchum, along with downing one of the establishment’s famous Moscow Mules, served in a copper cup and sure to quench anyone’s thirst on a hot summer day. Dine on the outdoor patio or step inside the bar and restaurant, full of locals and visitors alike looking to connect over one of the wooden tables with dishes like Fish & Chips, Bangers & Mash, or an Old-Fashioned Bar Burger. For the late-night crowd, The Cellar Pub offers a full bar, complete with draft beers and daily drink and shot specials. Music and sports memorabilia line the walls and bar. Head to the back room and you’ll find booths for chatting with friends as well as a full-size free shuffleboard table and a few arcade games. This pub will leave you feeling full—of good food and good times.

Few other restaurants in Ketchum are as steeped in history as the legendary Christiania.

mementos from owner Michel Rudigoz’s time as the U.S. Women’s Olympic Ski Team Coach adorn the walls. For a true culinary experience, Executive Chef Laurent Loubot, who hails from Chalon-sur-Saone (Burgundy), presents classic 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.

Young ones will find favorites on the kids menu while those coming fresh off the links or trails can sip specialty cocktails or draft beers. This season enjoy guest favorites like the Clubhouse Shrimp Louis Salad and the Wagyu Corned Beef Ruben, in addition to locally-sourced menu items featuring fresh veggies, meats, and seafood options. Enjoy a large wine selection, cocktails, and beer as you take in stunning views of Bald Mountain.
