Come and make art inspired by the work of Idaho artist James Castle. Born in 1889 in Idaho’s West Central mountains, Castle was deaf from birth and never learned to speak. He communicated instead through his artwork, interpreting his surroundings with drawings created from found paper and cardboard, soot and spit, ink and pigment. Many of his works are imbued with a magical, narrative quality and, taken as a whole, they tell a very particular story of a life lived entirely in Idaho. Alter your perspective by limiting various senses. How does the process of making art change when your senses are challenged?

Family Day events at The Center provide special opportunities for multiple generations to explore art and ideas together by looking at and making art together.

Family Days are held from 3-5pm.

Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project Idaho Stories, Oct 20, 2016–Jan 6, 2017.
