We are pleased to be in partnership with Alexa Rose Foundation in hosting and facilitating the SHOW & TELL Artist Residency Program at The Common Well. This innovative program is for Idaho artists working in a myriad of disciplines from painting, drawing, photography and printmaking to sculpture, ceramics, fiber arts and new forms. In addition to receiving a generous honorarium, these 5-month artist residencies provides each selected artist with a community of peers, a workspace, mentorship, a culminating group exhibition and an opportunity to present an artist talk or workshop at The Common Well. SHOW & TELL is especially geared toward artists eager to set loose their creative energy and realize their big ideas, all within a vibrant community setting. We couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to be working with the Alexa Rose Foundation as we create lasting, positive outcomes for our most exciting local artists.

In October of 2025, we welcomed the third wave of artists into the club. This talented group includes Ben Huynh, Jamey Baumgardt, Clementine Zenner, Bryan Anthony Moore, Juliana Mclenna, Janell Strouse, Ashley Larson, Kamryn Rose and Matt Bunk. Save the date for their culminating exhibition which will open February 20, 2026. Wave IV moves into The Common Well in April 2026 and includes Brecken Bird, Brie Schettle, Emily Hales, Hunter Simmons, Jessica Evett, Laura Feeney, Matthew Thorley and Sean Ahern. Application details for the Fall 2026 / Wave V will be announced soon. Stay tuned for details.

Thank you, Alexa Rose Foundation, for your vision, generosity & commitment to the arts!
