The Pend Oreille Arts Council (POAC) has been bringing the arts to life in Bonner County since 1978. For nearly five decades, this local nonprofit has inspired creativity, enriched education, and connected the community through unforgettable arts experiences.
Claire Christy, Arts Coordinator for the Pend Oreille Arts Council, invites you to immerse yourself in the magic of the arts with their highly anticipated 3-day Artist Studio Tour—Labor Day Weekend August 29–31, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Step inside the creative worlds of 20 talented artists as they open the doors to 16 unique studios across Sandpoint, Sagle, and the surrounding areas. From paintbrush to pottery wheel, canvas to carving tools, you’ll see art in action, hear the stories behind the work, and even have the chance to take home a one-of-a-kind treasure.
The Artist Studio Tour is more than an event—it’s a celebration of North Idaho’s thriving arts community and an invitation to support the incredible talent in our own backyard.
