Rocket ~ A Group Artshow

The deets:

Join us at Visual Art Collective for a First Friday opening dedicated to the life and work of beloved Boise neon artist Wil Kirkman, who passed in late December. Wil’s creativity, wit, and unmistakable glow shaped the local art scene, and this exhibition brings together his iconic neon and enamel pieces alongside new works inspired by his spirit.

20 local and regional artists who knew or worked with Wil are creating rocket‑themed pieces that channel his love of space exploration, collaboration, and all things bright and imaginative. The show will also feature a collection of Wil’s own standout works. This is an opportunity to experience his artistry together, one more time. Most pieces will be available for purchase and the show is on display through May.

First Fridays are always lively, and this one promises to be unforgettable. Come early, stay late, and celebrate Wil with friends, art, and whiskey.
