Press: Arts Lift Us Above The Fray

In today’s editorial in the Coeur d’Alene Press, Editor Mike Patrick comments on the value of the arts:

Listen to Mateusz Wolski play his violin, and for a moment or two, presidential politics and other emotional powder kegs are shoved safely to sanity’s periphery. Wolski was one of a half dozen stunningly talented musicians who performed Tuesday night during a fundraiser for the Jacklin Arts & Cultural Center in Post Falls. The event was the brainchild of local opera matron Marlo Faulkner, who rounded out the spectacular evening with sopranos Christina Kowalski and Dawn Wolski; tenor Christopher Pfund; accompanist David Demand; and booming baritone Aaron St. Clair Nicholson. While we give this group, Marlo, and the event’s sponsors a standing ovation, our appeal today is broader than one culturally enriching evening. It’s for dozens of culturally enriching evenings/ Mike Patrick , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you regularly take advantage of all the art offerings in the Coeur d’Alene/Post Falls/Hayden areas?
