Historic remnants of Chinese communities centered around gold mining and railroad industry work in the 1800s are still present in the area near the park.\n\n\nThe Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument will host one special in-person or virtual Year of the Fire Horse program each month\, from February through September. A program schedule and additional details are available on the park website and below. Members of the public are also encouraged to visit the park\, which is still an active site where paleontologists continue to conduct research and discover new fossils.

SUMMARY:Art Class: Sun Printing - Glass Plate Negative Cyanotypes
DESCRIPTION:Sun Printing: Glass Plate Negative Cyanotypes \nwith Ben Lustig \nTuesday\, August 25 & Wednesday\, August 26 | 10am – 12pm each day \n$25 / MVAC Members \n$30 / Non-Members (membership begins at on $25/year! Click here to join or renew your membership and save.) \nRegister online below\, or call 208-734-ARTS (2787) to sign up! This class is for ages 14 & up. \nNote: this class has a 10 person minimum. If the minimum is not reached\, registered students will be refunded or moved into an alternate class of their choosing.\n  \nThe glass plate negative to the Cyanotype\, the latter formerly known as the “sun print\,” is one of the oldest known photographic pairings in the history of photography and one of the most archival. Students in this session will be using spray paint\, natural objects and glass etching to create a negative of his/her choosing. This negative will then be contact printed onto the cyanotype solution-coated watercolor paper to make one-of-a-kind prints. This is where history meets the contemporary in the coolest way. If you’re a creative person looking for an awesome way to spend a few hours of your time\, or enjoy with a friend\, this is a session you don’t want to miss! \n  \nAbout the Instructor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Lustig is a Professor of Photography in CSI’s Arts and Humanities Department. We are so excited for him to teach a class here at the Magic Valley Arts Council!\n\n\nBen’s journey into photography started in high school after seeing a gelatin silver print of a playground slide reflecting clouds. That single image changed everything. He bought a camera\, took a darkroom class during his first year at the University of South Dakota (while he was pre-med)\, and never looked back. After changing majors a few times\, he earned his B.S. in Mass Communications with minors in English and Photography\, then went on to complete his MFA in Photographic Mediums at East Carolina University.\n\n\nBefore coming to CSI\, Ben taught at both ECU and Pitt Community College\, working across digital\, darkroom\, design\, and photography history courses. Today at CSI\, he teaches all photography courses\, including introductory and advanced digital and darkroom\, studio photography\, and Appreciation and History of Photography (a course he originally designed himself).\n\n\nHe also leads a landscape photography workshop each summer in southern Utah\, giving students a hands-on\, real-world experience that blends both the technical and philosophical sides of photography. Ben’s advice for students: You don’t need to be “good” at art to take an art class. Passion comes first\, skills come later.\n\nRefund Policy: all ticket\, table\, or seat purchases are NON REFUNDABLE from date of purchase.
