Join the Blue Galleries for the Fall 2024 Exhibitions, Drawing the Sky: Artist as Witness and Strange Landscapes.
Drawing the Sky: Artist as Witness confronts us with the undeniable realities of our complex world. The artists presented in this exhibition utilize video, painting, and installation to explore themes of war, displacement, political injustices, and the legacies of colonialism. The artworks invite viewers to engage with uncomfortable truths and serve as tools for sparking dialogue.
Strange Landscapes is a survey exhibition of artists exploring landscapes from art schools across Australia and America, curated by Boise State MFA candidate Scott Elk. The sublime, dissonant, “strange” landscapes feature an array of mediums, including drawing, painting, ceramics, fiber art, and photography.
