Lake Tahoe photographer Dirk Yuricich will be among 132 artists taking part in the 55th annual Sun Valley Arts & Crafts Festival Friday through Sunday in Ketchum.
The festival will be held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9 and 10, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 11, at Atkinsons’ Park.
Yuricich, who is new to the juried show, creates triptych panoramas of such subjects as a slot canyon in Escalante, Utah, and the Bonsai Rock Cove at Lake Tahoe.
In addition to Yuricich, Diane Harty Millinery of Frisco, Colo., will be there with her fancy hats, Lisa Telling Kattenbraker of Olympia, Wash., will be showing her whimsical batiks featuring faceless stick figures that invite viewers to create their own stories, and John Harden of Grants Pass, Ore., will showcase his one-of-a-kind wooden shadowbox bowls, Aztec flower bowls and 3-D trays.
The festival will feature an array of other ceramics, metalworks, oil paintings, fiber crafts, sculptures and woodworking creations.
There will be food trucks and live music, as well as a kids’ craft area.
