More from North Idaho
The Coeur d’Alene Arts Commission is seeking artists to participate in its ArtCurrent program, which places sculptures around downtown.
The works are loaned to the city for one year, and they are publicly displayed through major Coeur d’Alene events, including Art on the Green, Ironman, Car d’Lane and the monthly second Friday Art Walk – which translates to an estimated 250,000 visitors a year.
Information packets are available at Coeur d’Alene City Hall, 710 E. Mullan Ave., or online at www.cdaid.org. Proposals are due July 10. For more information, call arts commission liaison Sean Holm at (208) 676-7401.
Online art
A Colfax photographer has had work selected for a juried international online art exhibit.
Jonica Tramposch has five photographs included in the current Upstream People Gallery exhibition. They’ll be featured through March, then archived indefinitely on the website, www.upstreampeoplegallery.com.
In the notes, juror Laurence Bradshaw, art professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha said Tramposch “has some lovely animal pictures,” and “And a picture of a cat that is so beautiful as seen in her ‘Cat Eyes’ shows the special markings of the fur and the complementary colors of the eyes and nose.”
Upstream People was founded in the late 1990s as a way to serve artists worldwide by hosting international, juried art exhibitions. The “Faces” portraiture show drew more than 165 entries; Bradshaw selected 33 artists for inclusion.

The Zac Brown Band is returning to the region this summer for a show at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.
