Art Museum of Eastern Idaho

I had passed the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho (300 S. Capital) multiple times on my way to and from different places downtown. It's located right by the river, next to a park. Finally we decided to go. Because it was family day we decided to take our daughter, but it would have been just as nice going on our own. 

The museum has three different galleries, a project room, and a kids center. They have different exhibits. Currently they are featuring works of art made with wax. Starting Feb 19 they will have a watercolor show. 

Because it was family day they had a free craft project for everyone to do. It was painting in wax. We had a great time looking at and sharing our thoughts on the art but we also liked doing some together. I would consider in the future taking a class there together. 

Although the museum regularly charges $4 for adults, the 1st Saturday of each month is free, so that's a good chance to experience it without the cost. 

Carr Art Gallery

After quite a few dates that had to do with food, the husband and I decided to try something else this week. It's still too cold to do anything outside but I remembered pass the Carr Gallery downtown Idaho Falls (450 A street) so we went there. The art shows change every couple months so it is a place we will likely go again. Right now there is a public choice contest there so you can pick the art that you like best; everything from sculpture, collage, photographs, and paintings, even this installation piece. The art gallery was small but a nice change from our recent dates. It has a recommended donation of $2 a person.
