Gallery Walk
An exhibit by Kat Cannell
The ERC will be open during Ketchum's
Gallery Walk on
Friday, December 29 from 5PM-8PM
to display local photographer Kat Cannell
's
exhibit "Large Landscapes with a Micro Focus."
Kat, a native to central Idaho, was inspired to create this exhibit after witnessing an increase in trash left behind along the trails and around campsites at high alpine lakes in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA). The exhibit will include collections of microtrash Kat collected in the SNRA and Kat's stunning photographs of local landscapes.
In addition to Kat's exhibit, the ERC will have a small display on its initiatives that encourage reducing, reusing and recycling and information on how to properly recycle in Blaine County. We hope you can join us!
