New work to be unveiled at Art Works
Artwork donated to the Rock Creek Alliance by artists Barbara Janusz and Gabe Gabel will be unveiled Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Art Works Gallery, 214 N. First Ave. in Sandpoint. Janusz’s painting of Rock Creek Falls and Gabel’s bronze moose sculpture were donated as part of a fund-raising effort to stop the development of the proposed Rock Creek mine, upstream from Lake Pend Oreille in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness Area.
The works will be raffled at the alliance’s annual meeting later this summer. Raffle tickets will be available at Friday’s reception; tickets are $5 each or three for $10. Hors d’oeuvres and wine also will be available.
