Coeur d’Alene Artist Studio Tour is an opportunity for the general public
to visit local artists’ open studios. Held in early June, the tour show-
cases the talents of many artists who may not be represented in local
galleries, while providing a fun, engaging and interactive experience
for those who are interested in witnessing the creative process.
Art From the Heart , held each year during October, is a communi-
ty-wide celebration of the arts honoring National Arts and Human-
ities Month, bringing awareness to our community about the won-
derful opportunities in the arts that are available. The Arts & Culture
Alliance, with the help of local artists, puts on the Art in the Making
event at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Plaza Shops – another great oppor-
tunity for the general public to experience art in action. The annual
Mayor’s Awards in the Arts, held at the Hagadone Event Center,
honors those who have contributed to Coeur d’Alene’s art culture.
Arts Buzz, hosted by the Arts & Culture Alliance every first Friday of
the month, provides a networking opportunity for non-profit arts or-
ganizations, artists, performers and anyone interested in the arts. This
is a valuable resource for our arts community, allowing us to share
events and talents, give advice and seek collaboration opportunities.
It continues to grow and draw current and new members excited to be
a part of the art scene.
With so many arts organizations in our area, there are many
opportunities to experience the arts of all kinds. The following are the
organizations with whom we partner.
