There is a full weekend of crafts and art ahead—no matter what side of the state you’re on.

In Spokane it is First Friday, galleries, wineries, and coffee shops in town are hosting art shows and artists tonight—many offering small bites and wine to enjoy as well. It’s a beautiful Friday, and the evening promises to be a good one.

Art on the Green will be at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene all weekend. The hours are as follows:

• Friday, noon – 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, 10 a.m. – 7:30 p.m.
• Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Admission is free. Check their website for more information, vendor lists, and a map of the show.

If you’re on the other side of the state, be sure to check out the Anacortes Arts Festival. This is a show that is dear to my heart; my mom and I used to attend every year, and I still try to get west of the mountains every few years to go with her. Admission is also free for this show and the hours are:

• Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• Saturday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

 

Don’t forget the farmer’s markets in you area as well. This should be a good weekend for supporting local artists and growers!
