Open daily 7 a.m.-midnight. Student Union Gallery, second floor of the Student Union Building. In this exhibition, Boise State Professor Emeritus of Art John Taye presents his most recent work, which draws on classical traditions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His artwork explores the subtle harmonies of color found in the human figure, the natural forms of still life, and the rural Idaho landscape, juxtaposing the three to create calm, reflective beauty. “‘Beauty’ is a word not often used in contemporary art discussions,” says Taye, “social and political content is often deemed more important. As a classical artist, however, I think there is still value in exploring the world around us.” This exhibit is free and open to the public.
Get swept away in a little “midsummer madness” with this classic comedy of disguise and mistaken identity. Sebastian and Viola, twins separated by a storm at sea, make their way into Illyrian society where misplaced affections and misunderstood intentions provide a humorous backdrop for the shenanigans of lovers, clowns, and servants. This Shakespeare favorites is a hilarious and heart-warming look at the ridiculous things we do for love. Visit idahoshakespeare.org/plays/ for ticket prices. “First Folio!
