The College of Southern Idaho is hosting an art show in the Herrett Center for the Arts and Science. The exhibit is called Book Arts Invitational. Angela Batchelor, who is a local artist, and also a professor at CSI, has curated this show combining her own work, and work from other artists from around the United States. She says she loves book art because there is a lot of variety in it, and it's something that everybody can look at and enjoy.

“I think just hopefully be inspired to make their own books, that's how I was initially, and it looked like the most impossible task, until I started doing it. There is definitely a learning curve involved, but I think it's a very accessible type of discipline, and it's also a place for a lot of other disciplines overlap, if you are a painter, a drawer, a calligrapher, there is a place to bring all of that together in the form of a book.” - Angela Batchelor

The Jean B. King Gallery of Art, in cooperation with the College of Southern Idaho Fine Arts Department and the Herrett Center for Arts and Science, offers exhibitions and programs which showcase contemporary art and art issues. The gallery presents national and international exhibitions and supporting programs that expand community awareness of the visual arts while also striving to recognize and promote visual artists residing in Idaho.
