Jonathan Sadler moved to Boise in 2007 from Chicago, Illinois, where he still maintains a studio with his collaborative partner, Luke Batten. Jonathan’s collaboration goes by the name New Catalogue.  Using a methodology that both parallels and gently ridicules the concept of stock photo agencies, New Catalogue creates photographs that tap into the popular culture while expanding on traditional photographic genres. Jonathan is currently working on an expansive photography project of cabins on National Forest Service land. Jonathan spends part of every summer in a rustic cabin that his family owns on land that the government owns. He is documenting these unique structures while the cabins exist in some semblance of their original rustic form.

Jonathan has shown nationally and internationally at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the National Gallery in Prague, Czech Republic, among others. His work is included in the permanent collections of many major museums.  Jonathan teaches all levels of Photography at Boise State University.

Meet 2016 Summer Artists-in-Resident Elizabeth Ardent & Emma Ayers 

Eli Craven is an artist born in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He currently lives and works in Champaign, Illinois, where he teaches photography at the University of Illinois. His work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally, most recently at the Capture Photography Festival in Vancouver, in the book Unlocked published by Atopos CVC in Athens Greece, and The Age of Collage Vol. 2 published by Gestalten in Berlin Germany.

Craven’s work explores the role of images and objects within the development of identity, memory, and desire. The acts of looking and collecting are central to his process. Each project begins with the search for redeemable sources at estate sales, thrift stores, and other second hand markets. Through various methods of manipulation, the materials are charged with new possibilities directed at the senses - the familiar, the bizarre, the boring, the erotic. The reclaimed materials combined with his own personal additions become sculptural assemblages intended to provide new narratives. 

Join The Atlanta School for a walking tour of the Historic Atlanta Cemetery. Admire the restoration currently in process and learn about the miners, merchants and homesteaders who brought this boomtown to life through printed reminiscences, obituaries, and historic photos.
