THE FELLOWSHIP CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS: Hillfolk Noir!
Grooving. Raucous. Genre-bending. And always a ton of fun.
Hailing from Boise, Idaho, the always young-at-heart Hillfolk Noir has been carving their own musical path for 20 years. Built on the Junkerdash tradition, today’s Hillfolk is rooted in the band’s song craftsmanship. From spiral-bound mountains of frontman Travis Ward’s ragged notebooks comes the hard and the tender. Hillfolk Noir can blow the roof off the place, or draw you around the fire with their earnest musical narratives of the back alleys, the open range, and the front porch. They paint with sound the earnest stories about the lives of lovers, law-breakers, and the lion-hearted: heroes and outcasts alike. You can expect a bevy of acoustic instruments and a ton of songs.

Second Saturday at the Full Moon Gallery presents Watercolor as Music: Painting with Rhythm & Emotion with Leslie Lambert
What does music look like? What does color sound like? In this unique and expressive watercolor workshop, we’ll explore the connection between music and painting. Using rhythm, repetition, contrast, and flow, you’ll learn how to let music guide your brush – creating abstract or semi-abstract paintings inspired by sound.
We’ll begin with short listening and painting exercises to explore how different types of music affect your color choices, brushwork, and energy. Then, you’ll create your own full piece inspired by a favorite song or musical mood.
This class is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike – anyone who wants to loosen up, play with paint, and discover a new way to connect with both music and watercolor.
No experience necessary – just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore.

Hagerman Fossil Beds "Year of the Horse" Lecture Series
2026-03-20 10:00 - 13:00, 2026-04-24 10:00 - 13:00 | Thousand Springs Visitor Center, 17970 US Hwy 30, Hagerman, ID, 83332, United States

Where: Thousand Springs Visitor Center, Hagerman, ID
Cost: Free to attend! RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED – email HAFO_Information@nps.gov to RSVP.

Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument invites members of the public to learn more about the history of horses and Chinese communities in Idaho by participating in special programs that the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument will host and by visiting the park in 2026, which is the “Year of the Fire Horse” in the zodiac calendar used in many Asian cultures!

The Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, located between Boise and Twin Falls, preserves hundreds of species of three- to four-million-year-old plant and animal fossils, including the world’s largest assemblage of “Hagerman Horse” (Equus simplicidens) fossils. While the Hagerman Horse is native to North America, the genus Equus spread to Asia, and fossils similar to the Hagerman Horse have been found in China. 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.

The 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. Visitor information is available on the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument website at https://www.nps.gov/hafo/index.htm

Experience the beauty, space, and quiet drama of the West through watercolor. In this 6-week in-person course, we’ll paint expansive skies, rolling foothills, sagebrush plains, distant mountains, and the warm shifting light that makes the west feel endless.

Where: Twin Falls Center for the Arts
What time: 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 or so
What to bring: Painting supplies and a painting friend
Who can come: We welcome all painters to join us. Paint in whatever medium you like to use, and bring what you are working on.
Directions: Twin Falls Center for the Arts – MVAC classroom on the second floor.

What will we do:

Signs of Spring: Spring Flowers

Bring along your paint supplies and what you are working on.
You are invited to spend the morning working on whatever painting you have in progress, or something new, if you want. (Tulips?)

Need some inspiration?
How about making a personal “self-care” list for spring? It is such a busy time. Take time for yourself. This is a perfect option for a sketchbook or a card! Doing the artwork is self-care in itself.

Critique?
I hope that you will share what you are working on, and give us a peek at what you are happy with, and also what you need help with.
Sometimes having someone else take a look helps the artist to see what might be an answer to the questions:

Is it finished
What is missing
What should I do next or differently?
Why does it feel like this just isn’t working
Have I overworked it?
Are the values a problem – need more darks?
Again, am I done?

WHO CAN COME: We welcome all painters to join us.
Paint in whatever medium you like to use, and help our group grow by inviting a painting friend.

A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. “This is a remarkable thing about democracy,” says the foreign-born juror, “that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men.
By Reginald Rose
Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel. Based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose.
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois

Film Screening: THE LIBRARIANS - Special Viewing with Indivisible Twin Falls
2026-04-25 18:00 - 21:00 | Lamphouse Theatre, 223 5th Ave S, Twin Falls, 83301, United States
What: Special screening of the independent documentary The Librarians, hosted by Indivisible Twin Falls County
When: Saturday, April 25 | 6pm
Where: Lamphouse Theatre, 233 5th Ave S, Twin Falls, ID 83301
Cost: Free to attend, donations accepted to support Indivisible Twin Falls County

If you missed the Indie Lens Pop-Up film screening of The Librarians at the Magic Valley Arts Council, you are in luck! Indivisible Twin Falls County will be hosting a special viewing party at the Lamphouse Theatre in Twin Falls, in response to the increasing amount of book bans occurring in our community. There will be a community discussion following the film.

Join Indivisible Twin Falls County Idaho for a special screening of the acclaimed documentary The Librarians, followed by a post-film community discussion to talk about how we protect the freedom to read right here in Idaho.
Featured at the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film and TV Festival, this documentary follows librarians as they fight against an anti-government extremist group whose aim is to remove books from school libraries in Texas.
Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

CSI Theater Presents: Anna Karenina
2026-05-06 - 2026-05-09 | CSI Fine Arts Theater, 315 Falls Ave, Twin Falls, ID, 83301, United States
In this adaptation of Tolstoy’s timeless classic, Anna Karenina, Edmundson weaves the lives of Anna and Levin together, starting with Anna’s poignant remark, “This is my story,” to which Levin responds, “It seems to be mine, too.” Anna, trapped in a dull marriage to Governor Karenin, finds herself torn when she meets the charming officer Vronsky. The story also delves into the troubled marriage of her brother and the ups and downs of Kitty and Levin’s courtship. As Anna’s journey leads to tragedy and Levin grows toward maturity, the play explores themes of love, loss, and the search for fulfillment.
