So, you say, I’m just interested in collecting art,
not creating it! First of all, what’s your name
and how do I get in touch with you? Just kidding, kind of.
Seriously, I hope many art lovers as well as artists are reading this magazine, because it takes
a village to create a thriving arts community. A
number of RRAFA artists can be seen exhibiting their works in the annual Spokane Studio
Arts Tour, the weekend of September 10th
and 11th. There will be upwards of 8 or 9 artists at 5 different locations on the north side of
Spokane that weekend offering their creations
for less than you’d have to pay in a gallery (no
overhead). Go to www.studioarttour.com for
info on this year’s participants and examples of
their work. You’ll also find a map on the site.
