Through my work as an artist representative, grant writer, for profit gallery director, and representative of 3+ non-profit arts organizations, I have found the Arts & Culture Alliance to be an important asset to Coeur d’Alene. Their ability to establish new arts opportunities as well as promote current arts events for artists, art appreciators and the community at large has enriched our town.
