Let Me Be Brave: Portraits of Courage
Susan Valiquette
December 6, 2008 – March 1, 2009

Idaho photographer Susan Valiquette has been taking portraits of Idaho Special Olympic athletes at their summer and winter games for the past six years.  Valiquette’s interest in the events and the participants are both personal and professional.  Her son Rueben is a participant, and, Valiquette, who studied with renowned photographer Emmet Gowin, is interested in capturing both the extraordinary and the mundane aspects of humanity on film.  In her first solo museum exhibition, BAM will feature over thirty portraits of Idaho Special Olympic athletes in conjunction with the 2009 World Winter Special Olympic Games being held in Boise this February.
