Two Art Auctions During Month of April Benefit Student Organizations at Boise State University

Two auctions held during the month of April will benefit art students at Boise State University:

• The sixth annual Art Metals Silent Auction from April 1-25 at R. Grey Jewelry Gallery at 415 S. 8th St. in Boise is organized by the Boise State art metals program. An opening reception will be held from 5-9 p.m. April 2 at the gallery. Fifteen wearable works of art were created by intermediate and advanced art metals students, who selected this year’s theme of “Change/Hope.” The students worked collaboratively, exchanging the pieces every 45 minutes. The proceeds from the auction will be used to purchase new tools for the art metals program and to pay for visiting artists. For more information, contact Anika Smulovitz at 426-4060 or anikasmulovitz@boisestate.edu.

• Red Circle Press is hosting a silent auction of prints from April 1-30 at the Flying M Coffeehouse, 500 W. Idaho St. in Boise. The auction features hand-pulled and photographic prints, including etching, woodcut, linocut, polyester plate lithography, serigraphy and digital work. Red Circle Press’ membership base consists of students, faculty and community members. The press organizes print exchanges between other presses and facilitates exhibitions. The proceeds from the auction will be used to invite visiting artists to present workshops and share their research. For more information, e-mail Benjamin Love at b.morganlove@gmail.com.
