Polar Animals FREE Family Day Sat, Jan 21, 3–5pm at The Center in Hailey

Families are invited to explore the exhibition Due North: Images of Baffin Island and Inuit Art at The Center in Hailey on Saturday, January 21 from 3 to 5pm and make a small Arctic animal that they can take home.

The exhibition at The Center, Hailey, features photographs shot by Wood River Valley resident Ann Puchner on Baffin Island, in Canada’s northernmost reaches, plus a selection of prints and sculptures from local resident Page Klune’s exceptional collection of Inuit art.

The Inuit people who live in the Arctic and subarctic have traditionally carved animal figures from soapstone. Working with modeling clay rather than stone, Kim Stocking will help you shape your own polar bear, seal, whale, walrus, puffin or penguin (even though they live in the Southern Hemisphere, but they are a polar animal too cute to omit). 

The Center’s free Family Day projects are inspired by current gallery exhibitions. Many activities require adults to be hands-on helpers to their children. Drop in anytime between 3 and 5 pm—no advance registration necessary.

Due North will be on view through February 10. A related exhibition, Thin Ice: Journeys in Polar Regions, is on view at The Center, Ketchum, through February 11. For more information, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 726.9491 ex 10.
