As if that excuses her from carrying such items, such attitude, or the consequences of such things. A pity, will not be going again.

She really broke it down to the basics for me and saved me a few times when I needed it! The space is nice, clean, and super convenient. Located right down town Idaho Falls, we grabbed dinner across the street before and then drinks after which makes it truly the perfect location for a night out as a date or with friends! We brought a bottle of wine, but no doubt we would have had a blast either way. Was surprised how much my boyfriend enjoyed it! Can't wait to go back and do it again!

Last Friday the Willard Arts Center held an opening for their Japanese Woodblock Prints exhibit,…read moreand it was fabulous! The curator, Nathan Barnes, gave a great presentation on the artists, this particular medium and Japanese history at the time woodblocking was an industry. They served sushi and drinks and used the premier to promote local artist Steve Neilsen's exhibit, Out of Chaos, upstairs. And because this was the exhibit's opening, the Art Center was open in the evening! Idaho Falls may not be the most cultured city, but events like this prove we have potential! I love supporting the arts, and this is a great opportunity to do just that while experiencing some phenomenal Japanese woodblock prints. While I wish these exhibits could be open in the evenings, I'm sure they don't have the funding to pay for the support staff those hours would require. But maybe if more of us frequent the Willard Arts Center, it will give them reason to look for ways to make that work!
