The Hemingway House Sessions are a collaboration between the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and The Community Library to connect visiting artists to our local history and an iconic writer in an intimate setting inspired by views of the Big Wood River and Idaho mountains. Visiting artists are invited to respond to this creative space where Ernest Hemingway sought sanctuary in the last years of his life. The Community Library is a privately funded, public library located in Ketchum, Idaho. As part of its Center for Regional History, it stewards a Hemingway collection and manages the Hemingway House and Preserve. The private residence is home to a writer-in-residence program. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts is a cornerstone of the Wood River Valley arts scene and the largest arts organization in Idaho. The Center has enriched the community through transformative arts and educational experiences since 1971 and offers exceptional year-round programming in music, film, visual arts, the humanities and Company of Fools professional theatre. The Center uses a unique multidisciplinary approach to explore ideas relevant to our time.
