Sandpoint ArtWalk

Many of us down stationed down south — as in south of the Spokane or Kootenai county lines — don’t often make it very far north until the temps start warming up and the cool, pristine Northwest forest and lakes start to beckon. This seasonal draw is also partly why summer in Sandpoint is so packed full of events, like the city’s ArtWalk, held for the past 37 years. Organized by the Pend Oreille Arts Council, the juried tour showcases local artists’ work at 27 businesses and galleries throughout the downtown core. Artwork is displayed through the summer tourist season through Sept. 12; event brochures can be picked up at several host venues.
