Art On The Green Ready For Year 43

Art on the Green, Coeur d’Alene’s huge outdoor art party, will fill the grounds of North Idaho College this weekend with color, with music (from two stages) and with swordplay. Swordplay? Yes, members of the Coeur d’Escrime fencing club will again roam the grounds and demonstrate their particularly pointed art form. Here’s hoping they stay a good distance away from, for instance, the glass art booths. Glass art will be only one of many kinds of art on display (and for sale) in about 135 booths. You’ll also find jewelry, leatherwork, pottery, metalwork, painting, fiber, photography and some forms of art that defy easy categorization/ Jim Kershner , SR. More here.
