Goonies Bike-In




HEY YOU GUYS!!!

Tomorrow night we are co-hosting a bike-in movie with Fitzgerald's Bicycles at the Center for the Arts Ampitheater. This space has been itchin for use and what better way than chilling out with a few hundred folks in front of Snow King, tossing back a few beers and watching the Goonies.

A short biking film will be screened to open things up, then sit back in your chair(don't forget a blanket too) and enjoy the movie. $3 suggested donation plus $4 beers from the Snake River Brewing Co, Tacos from Pica's, and killer merchandise from the Artlab.

A silent auction will also be held to help raise funds for the lab's studio. Great items including lift tickets to JHMR, Smartwool gear(donated by Rendezvous Event Management), dinner at Teton Thai, Thai Me Up, Cafe Ponza, and Pearl Street Bagels.

Special shout out to Cam and Hughes Production as well as Aaron Wallis and Andy Zimmerman for making this thing happen!

Residency Programs

Artist residency programs, such as Teton Artlab's, play a vital role in the growth of an artist, providing time, space, and often meals and modest stipends to pursue new bodies of work in a nurturing environment.

There are hundreds of quality programs, from one artist in a cabin, to hundreds of artists working in sprawling studio centers. Our Rocky Mountain neighbor and one of the larger residencies, Anderson Ranch, has a great residency program and created this interesting video about it:
