Summary


The Visual Arts Collective's current exhibition "Alogia and the Rying Circus" is packing up the popcorn and tearing down the tents. Artist Matt Bodett will present a final discussion of his work Wednesday, July 30, at 7 p.m. for the public.

After being diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder four years ago, Bodett began using art as a way to communicate the images and sounds that flashed through his mind. This body of work reflects his journey from fear to isolation, and ultimately, to understanding. Using circus detritus and imagery, Bodett conveys what it's like to feel like an outsider.

The SVCA's plans include a museum-quality gallery space, a 230-seat capacity auditorium for lectures, performances and concerts, expanded classroom space, a computer resource center and an outdoor sculpture and film garden. The organization is also applying for LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, which will make it one of only 33 certified projects in Idaho. With construction time estimated at around 18 to 20 months, SVCA might want to hold off on the packing peanuts.
