If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to peek into an artist’s studio to see where the inspiration for creativity starts, this is the weekend for you. The Pend Oreille Arts Council is hosting the Artists’ Studio Tour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30; Saturday, Aug. 31; and Sunday, Sept. 1.
Nineteen artists are participating at fifteen locations scattered around Bonner County. From Naples to Sagle, and all around Sandpoint, local artists who paint, make jewelry and ceramics, forge metal, work in fabric, wood and photography will all be showcasing their art. And the best news is that all the art is for sale, and the tour is free to the public.
