Culturally Yours Prichard Art Gallery brings artistic touch to Moscow The Soviets had a term for some peo- ple — “nyeh kul- toorni.” Translat- ed, it meant “uncul- tured” and hap- pened to be one of the worst insults given in Russian. It didn’t apply to the Prichard Art Gal- lery, however. According to Jo- hanna Hays, direc- tor of the Riden- baugh and Prichard Art Galleries, “It was unusual for a univer- sity such as the UI to put its resources in the downtown area of a city. It seems to be paying off, though.” In the three years since the Prichard Gallery has EACH month, the Pri- chard set up new shows to culturally entice art lovers from Moscow. Pullman, and Spokane. Al Rouyer, political sci- ence professor, gives art lessons to two Graduate art stu- dents, Kay Montgom- ery and Carolyn Fort- ney, concerning a statue from “Elders of the Tribe.” (Duffy) been at 414 416 South Main Street, it has been well sup- ported. Proceeds from Mardi Gras Week- end went to support the gallery. along with a grant from the Idaho Commis- sion on the Arts and from individuals. Hays said that she tried to come up with something for everyone in the shows, approxi- mately two-thirds of which she puts to- gether and one- third of which came from other institu- tions. The UI gallery class also assisted Hays. One didn’t have to be an artist to appreciate the Prichard’s shows. Jake Cutshall said that he didn’t un- derstand Sherry Hart’s ‘Tribute to Helen”, a beadwork exhibit. He said, “It sparked my atten- tion, to say the least.” The gallery sponsored nation- al, regional and in- ternational. The Prichard has shown regional, na tional, and interna- tion folk and ab- Stract art from places in Brazil and Africa. If it hasn't shown something unknown to Mos- cow, it will. THE Prichard Art Gallery received 2,000-5,000 visitors for each exhibit. One of the major two shows, “Elders of the Tribe,” opened in Febru- ary. (Duffy) 14 Prichard art Gallery
