Join us in welcoming our newest art installation. Elijah Jensen-Lindsey is a self-taught, multi-media artist who currently resides in Nampa, Idaho. His career as a carpenter and craftsman informs his esoteric methodology, and has afforded him distinct opportunities within the intersection of visual art and the built, living environment. Working alongside world-renowned artist Theaster Gates, Jensen-Lindsey played an active role in the renovation of an after-school arts program in St. Louis in 2013. A recipient of grants from The Idaho Commission on the Arts and Boise Weekly, he has shown his artwork in Boise; Reno, Nevada; Brooklyn, New York; and St. Louis, Missouri.
He was awarded top prize in the 2020 Idaho Triennial.
As a musician, Jensen-Lindsey engages with the traditions of folk, pop and noise music as a means of exploring the beautiful terrains of the written and spoken word.
He lives with a Siamese cat named Hummingbird, and a fox squirrel named Juniper.
His band, ‘With Child’ will perform @ 6pm.
