Art Events this Weekend!

This year marks Coeur d’Alene’s 43 ^rd Art on the Green event! There will be over 135 artists selling their wares at this year’s fair. Look for glass, pottery, metalwork, paper art, and more. I plan on shopping for early Christmas gifts. (Don’t forget to bring your own tote bag and a bottle of water—it’s going to be a hot weekend).

The event is free to attend, there will also be a free shuttle bus between the festival and downtown, and plenty of bicycle space.

Art on the Green is held at the Old Fort Sherman Grounds on the North Idaho College Campus. 1000 W. Garden Ave.

Hours:
Friday   noon-7:30
Saturday 10:00-7:30
Sunday 10:00-5:00

First Friday is also taking place this week. For a complete list of participating galleries, see the First Friday events page . It looks like there are dozens of exhibits and some great featured artists this month. If you’re looking for something fun on Friday night, stop by a gallery or two, meet some artists, and enjoy a glass of wine.

If you’re on the west side of the state, be sure to catch the Anacortes Arts Festival . I used to shop the Anacortes art fair with my mother every year. It takes over the whole town with 250 artists, and is wonderful fun. For information, visit the Art Festival website .
