Exhibition Pays Homage To Chimney Rock

Spring is the season for rebirth.

With that, the Entree Gallery in Nordman (by Priest Lake) will re-open its doors on Wednesday for the 1996 season.

The gallery will present a mixed-media exhibition called “Chimney Rock,” featuring the work of several North Idaho artists.

The display pays homage to a popular site, overlooking Priest Lake. According to the Kootenai tribe, the legend surrounding Chimney Rock is that it’s a coyote in disguise, who watches over the West for approaching enemies.

On Mother’s Day, the Entree Gallery will host a special open house, featuring refreshments, a door prize and a complimentary flower for each mom.

The gallery is open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For additional information, call (208) 443-2001.

Baskin featured in lecture

Renowned American artist Leonard Baskin will be the subject of a slide show and lecture Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Hughes Auditorium at Gonzaga University. A reception will follow the free event.

Baskin, 73, is a sculptor, printmaker and book designer. His rabbinical training is reflected in his art.

For more information, call professor Bob Gilmore at 328-4220, Ext. 3212.
