POST FALLS — The Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center is introducing a new event — Art Fest at the JACC
The free art festival will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 16-17 indoors at the JACC, 405 N. William St., Post Falls.
An art show and sale will feature local artists Terry Lee, Jan Clizer, Avis Stafford, Julia Komsky, Becky Anderson, Deborah Loy, Doreen Graham, Priscilla Patterson, T Kurtz, Brooke Baggett, Greg Chapleski, JR McCurdie, Robert Brekke, Dave Gonzales and Annette Durkin. Original paintings in acrylic, oil, watercolor and pastels, metal sculptures and photography will be available for purchase, as well as plenty of print art.
Bring children to create art from 1 to 3 p.m. each day, led by artist Loy. Enjoy music, refreshments and artist demonstrations throughout the two-day festival.
“Through this curated art show and sale, we strive to continue extending arts offerings in Post Falls and the area as we share the beauty of our historic building,” JACC Director Darla Dreyer said in a Wednesday news release.
Graham, who primarily works with acrylic, soft pastel and watercolor, said artists will be bringing affordable art to Art Fest to brighten living spaces, lift hearts and provide inspiration.
“If you haven’t yet discovered the JACC, come and be surprised by this amazing jewel that supports so many different types of local art,” Graham said.
Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, the JACC is housed in a unique building that was formed when two 1890s-era churches were combined in 1921.
