Paper Projects at Argo House

Carper Contemporary presents “Paper Projects” in conjunction with First Friday Art Stroll, from 5-8 p.m. every first Friday through October. It is also open to the public Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.., and weekends/evenings by appointment. The exhibition features five artists, including Amanda Lee, Anna Laurie Mackay, Elise Wehle, Lydia Gravis and Ya’el Pedroza, who each use the intimate material of paper as their primary medium. The press release states, “Seemingly fragile or impermanent, works on paper are often undervalued in the art world or overlooked by collectors, who give more clout to canvas and oil paint than paper and pencil. The all-female roster also speaks to the evolution of women in the art world, who, similarly to the presented medium, were long undervalued or overlooked in mainstream gallery and museum scenes, and who are finally taking their place in the public eye through solo exhibitions or female-focused shows.”

All CDC guidelines and regulations will be followed for the opening event, and face masks are encouraged.

OGDEN CONTEMPORARY ARTS: A NEW

CENTER AT THE MONARCH

Ogden Contemporary Arts “creates and shares globally-influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advanced arts programming.” Thanks to a significant gift from the Dr. Ezekiel R. & Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation, a multi-use space, which is drawing artists from all over the world, is coming this fall! The new center, centrally-located at The Monarch, 455 25th Street, will be an elevating resource for our community, complete with exhibitions and interactive programming. According to their website, Ogden Contemporary Arts hopes “to build a nationally recognized art center that will engage our local artists with the wider contemporary art world.” A soft opening is planned for November, and the

Grand Opening in January 2021.

D.L. EVANS BANK 115 Year of Pioneer History–Cutting Edge Modern Services

D.L. Evans was born in 1854 in Brigham City, Utah. His mother was a widow, and raised he and his two younger brothers to value industry and hard work. In 1871, the family moved to the Malad Valley in Idaho, where they homesteaded a 160 acre farm. D.L. and his younger brother L.L. both attended college in Salt Lake City, and returned to Idaho to teach school.

The family was instrumental in developing business in their community. They developed two stores, several ranches and farms, and invested in many local banks as they opened. Both brothers served in the newly created Idaho State Legislature. D.L. Evans was first elected to the Idaho Territorial Legislature in 1882, at 28 years of age, and became the Speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives in 1899. D.L. Evans Bank was founded on September 15, 1904, as Cassia County’s first bank. As communities grew, the demand for banking services increased, and D.L. Evans Bank grew accordingly. In the Great Depression in the 1930’s,

Currently, two generations of the Evans family lead the company.

most banks in Idaho closed, but D.L. Evans Bank survived, and the Evans family continued to provide leadership and direction to the company. John V. Evans, Sr. who held public office for more than 35 years, including two terms as Governor of Idaho, served as President of D.L. Evans Bank until his passing in July 2014. Currently, two generations of the Evans family lead the company. D.L. Evans Bank offers pioneer roots, long standing experience, and new services that will move them forward into the future.
