sandpoint art: Pend Oreille Arts Council – Supporting the Arts and so much more: Sandpoint Blog - 09/26/11 11:09 AM
I recently had Kim Brown Queen on my show North Idaho Arts & Adventure. I’ve known Kim since she first came to town and we interviewed her right after she took over the reins at POAC. By all accounts, Kim has done an outstanding job, and while there are other groups and organizations that support the arts, without POAC, I doubt Sandpoint would be the art town many consider us to be.
This was one of the first questions tackled by Kim.
Q – POAC is a strong force in promoting the arts in our area. There are other groups … (0 comments)

This particular year the show was at the Cedar Street Bridge. The last one was at Dover Bay Resort, and each one was pretty successful. How do we measure success?

sandpoint art: Real Estate Gimmicks - Remember the Mobile Artists' Open House? Sandpoint Real Estate Blog - 04/03/11 10:59 AM
