SANDPOINT — Frank Sinatra sang “love is lovelier the second time around and better with both feet on the ground.” So, put your feet on the ground and visit all or some of the thirty downtown locations who are hosting the second round of ArtWalk receptions on Friday, August 19. You may just fall in love with all the lovely art on exhibit.
Many diverse and talented local artists have their work displayed at local businesses and will be around to talk about their art. Most of the artists’ receptions start at 5:30 p.m. and end at 8. Refreshments will be served.
Look for the ArtWalk signs and pick up a brochure along the way. And, if you can’t get to all of them, don’t worry, this event continues through September 9. Locations include Evan’s Brothers Coffee Roasters, Monarch Mountain Coffee, Snow River, Pend d’Oreille Winery, Whiskey Jack Pottery, Infini Gallery & Studio, Eichardt’s Pub & Grill, Neiman’s Floral & Garden Goods, Idaho Pour Authority, Sandpoint Reader, Baxter’s on Cedar and Petal Talk.
Take stroll down the alley between 1st and 2nd Avenues to see the new wall art; then head over towards Columbia Bank where all three floors, including Tango Café will be exhibiting artwork.
Then head down to Azalea Handpicked Style, Hen’s Tooth Gallery, Northwest Handmade, POAC Gallery, Mountain Song, Ferrara Wildlife Photography and Cedar Glen Gallery, Lisa V. Maus Gallery, U.S. Bank, Pedro’s, 219 Lounge, Zero Point, Art Works Gallery, Santosha and 7B Board Shop.

Get it stamped at six of these seven locations and then turn it in to POAC’s office before the close of ArtWalk in September for a chance to win some great prizes, including season tickets to POAC’s performing arts series.
