Insight of Youth, Exhibition and Auction for the Arts is an initiative of ISucceed Virtual High School early graduate Jake Gonzales. Jake developed and organized this program to counteract the social and emotional consequences of COVID 19. Produced as a platform for teenagers to ‘express their feelings tangibly through art’, the event offers parents, adults and the broader community an awareness of how local youth have been affected by the pandemic. The exhibition features new work by young Treasure Valley artists in response to the theme ‘What Kids Have Endured during COVID 19’. 
   
Exhibited artworks will be auctioned. Proceeds will support the artists and the grassroots effort Empty Bowls, an international endeavor to fight hunger. ​

explores the possessive “My” through narratives, art and sound. Every Monday, we publish a new audio, performance or experimental piece where only one rule applies:  the title must begin with the determiner “My”.

My___on Mondays Episode 39: Elena Gallina grew up in the aftermath of the Kosovo war and has since lived and worked in many conflict settings. Her research has focused on combating gender-based violence in refugee camps and conflict zones. In her photography, she focuses on the complex quiet moments in these often misunderstood and sensationalized environments, specializing in co-creative portraiture. Based in Oxford, England on a Rhodes scholarship, her present work investigates how classism inhibits art access.
