Sun Valley’s galleries are holding a special Apres Ski Giving Walk  from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24.

They’re encouraging gallery strollers to drop some non-perishable food in bins that will be placed at each gallery.

Here are some of the highlights of the Walk:

GAIL SEVERN GALLERY, 400 First Avenue North, is featuring three major themes this month.

One titled “Wings” takes note of the fact that so many artists create works focusing on birds. And this particular exhibition will feature flying friends depicted through the paintings, sculpture and mixed media interpretations of Jenny Honnert Abell, David deVillier, Morris Graves, Margaret Keelan, Hung Liu, Lynda Lowe, Robert McCauley, Kenna Moser, Ed Musante and Jane Rosen.

Another, “Honoring Our Landscape V,” features aesthetic interpretations of the West. It includes some unique new pieces by Michael Gregory, known for his depictions of iconic barns in familiar settings, and Theodore Waddell, a local artist who has gained national acclaim for his recognizable portraits of cows. Other artists whose work will be featured include Victoria Adams, James Cook, Sheila Gardner, Laura McPhee and Jack Spencer.

“Interwoven Views-Contemporary Tapestries” features large-scale works done in thread by Squeak Carnwath, Don and Era Farnsworth, April Gornik, Hung Liu, Deborah Oropallo and Kiki Smith (see Eye on Sun Valley’s Nov. 22 article, “Tapestries Take Place of Paintings.”)

GILMAN CONTEMPORARY, 661 Sun Valley Road, is depicting the work of three more artists in addition to collage artist Peter Clark (see today’s Eye on Sun Valley story “Peter Clark Dresses His Turkey”).

Stephanie Weber is an abstract painter who creates oil on aluminum paintings that radiate warmth and richness against the cool industrial feel of metal.

And Luis Garcia-Nerey and Anke Schofield have created a collaborative project they call “Kollabs,” a provocative series of paintings that evoke wonder about the interaction between humans and wildlife. How, for instance, might we feel if we were to see a deer sitting on a couch or a bear contemplating itself in a mirror?  The mixed media paintings employ a mix of materials, including resin, photography and paint to create compositions with a twist.

SUN VALLEY CENTER FOR THE ARTS, Fifth and Washington streets, is giving the public one last chance to see art from its BIG IDEA PROJECT, “The Unreliable Narrator.” The art considers the power of a narrator who may not be trustworthy—a storyteller who misleads, perhaps misunderstands the events unfolding in the course of a story or asks the reader to construct their own narrative.

The exhibition will end on Nov. 24. And The Center will introduce its next exhibition, “Art into Architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright, Archie Teater and Teater’s Knoll,” on Dec. 1. The Center will throw an opening celebration from 5 to 7 p.m. that night.

LIPTON FINE ARTS, 4th Street next to Leadville Espresso House, is giving viewers one last chance to see local horsewoman and photographer Kat Cannell’s photographs depicting the joie de vivre of Idaho’s spectacular mountain majesty. Come Dec. 1 the gallery will celebrate the American Arts and Crafts Movement with Melissa and Gary Lipton’s personal collection of American Art Pottery from 1898 to 1926.

MESH GALLERY, at 4th and Leadville streets, will exhibit backcountry photos taken by owner Jeff Lubeck and others of the Sawtooth Mountains.

KNEELAND GALLERY, 271 First Ave. N.,  will presents works by local photographer Kevin Sims, including resin-coated metallic prints of photographs taken in the Sun Valley area.

FRIESEN GALLERY, 320 1st Ave., N., will feature a group exhibition titled “Beneath the Surface. It includes encaustics by Leslie Stoner, watercolors by Dara Mark and works featuring tea bag-stained rice paper by Susan Russell Hall.

WOOD RIVER FINE ARTS, 360 East Avenue in the Courtyard will feature oils and sculptures by Western artists.

BROSCHOFSKY GALLERIES, 360 East Avenue in the Courtyard, will feature Western art ranging from the historic photographs of Edward S. Curtis to contemporary oil landscapes of Michael Coleman.

STONE ART GALLERY, in the Walnut Avenue Courtyard will feature sculptures and other pieces with a Old Country flair by stonemason Jeff Homchick.
