Thu., June 24, 1999

For a change of pace this summer from swimming, boating, water-skiing, fishing … at Priest Lake, Idaho, take a wander over to the Entree Gallery, described as a “pleasant walk” from the popular Elkins Resort.

Through the middle of July, the Nordman, Idaho, gallery grounds will feature the mixed-media show, “Elements Refined.” It features contemporary sculptures, fountains and benches by Harold Balazs, Mark and Linda Heisel, Jerry McKellar, Richard Warrington, David Govedare and Steel Life.

Also showing at the gallery on Priest Lake is “Another Season,” a selection of watercolors that reflect the many moods of fly-fishing by Coeur d’Alene artist Mary Maxam.

The gallery is two miles east of Nordman on Reeder Bay Road. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

* “From Benton to Bartlett: Recent Acquisitions,” opens Saturday at the Museum of Art at Washington State University.

The summer-long show, comprised of prints, paintings and works on paper, are from two collections, The Richard and Margaret Aiken Collection, and the WSU Museum of Art Permanent Collection.

The Aiken Collection, owned by WSU in conjunction with other Northwest galleries from Portland to Seattle to Bellingham, includes works from the 1970s to the ‘90s by such artists as Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, Paul Jenkins and Mark Tobey.

Harold Balazs, Kenneth Callahan and Fay Jones are among those in the Art Permanent Collection, along with such national artists as Thomas Hart Benton, Jaune Quick-To-See-Smith and Faith Ringgold.

The WSU Museum of Art is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (with extended hours to 9 on Tuesdays) and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

* Selections from Eastern Washington University’s Permanent Art Collection will be shown through Aug. 6 in the school’s gallery.

Works to be shown include those by Roy DeForest, Karen Guzak, Wendy Franklund-Miller, Tom Askman, Roy Lichtenstein and Mark Lawrence.
