The gallery also exhibits a full range of styles, from representational to the contemporary, in both two and three dimensions. Ciao is unique for this area in that it permits local artists to have complete control of their own gallery, by sharing the costs and efforts required to run and maintain the space.

Here, the artists are literally the heart and soul of the operation, and they can be free to experiment with what they choose to display - undoubtedly much more so than in a traditional gallery setting.

Western and Wildlife Art • (Swan Valley Idaho) Steven and Karen Boyd have received high acclaim for the finely detailed realism in their wildlife and western art. Although you can almost feel the smooth rippling curl of the ram's horn or taste the grit and dust billowing off the horses hooves, it is the harmony between the artists and their subject that reaches out and pulls you into their work ... and it doesn't let you go. Inspired by the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, Steven and Karen create art work of vision and mystery. While Steven works in permanent acrylic Gouche to execute the beginning of a painting, Karen follows with oil to compliment and enhance. Thereby creating a collaboration that gives you a sense of Steven's raw power combined with Karen's gentle introspective study of their subject.

Antler Workshop & Gallery • Kurt Gordon is 4th generation of an original Vail Valley family. He grew up in a log house that his Grandfather, a logger, built on property in what now is called West Vail. Vail was just wilderness then, a lot of meadows with large herds of roaming deer and elk. Most of the antler Kurt works with are sheds. His favorite past time has not changed in 40 years. He still loves hiking through the woods, sage and mountain tops finding the antler himself although he also enjoys buying from ranchers and locals to keep up with the quantity required for his designs. In 2006, while attending the antler rendezvous in Dubois, Wyoming he found the business location he had been looking for and relocated his business to a log home on the Old Yellowstone Highway in the west end of Dubois.
Merle Yoder Handcrafted Furniture • In thirty years of woodworking I have come to appreciate and understand what it takes to make a quality piece of furniture that will last for generations. In this age of throw away mass produced furniture, it is important to me to craft furniture that will stand the test of time. My passion lies in the designs of Arts and Crafts or “Mission” furniture because it stresses function and unadorned beauty, strong simple construction and honest comfortable design.
