Where Creativity Connects Community

The Coeur d’Alene Arts & Culture Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to connect people through the arts across North Idaho.

From 2nd Friday ArtWalk lighting up downtown each month, to the Living Lake Project bringing artists, scientists, and cultural bearers together to tell the story of Coeur d’Alene Lake, our programs spark creative partnerships, open new paid opportunities for artists, and bring our whole community together - with Riverstone Summer Concerts, Arts Buzz, Art Connect, and more along the way.

Our Supporters

The Coeur d'Alene Arts & Culture Alliance is funded through memberships, sponsorships, and grants. This support allows us to keep our programs free and accessible to everyone in North Idaho.

We're funded by our community — through memberships, sponsorships, and grants of all sizes, from individual donors to major program partners like STCU, Idaho Commission on the Arts (Arts Idaho), ICCU, Ovation TV’s Stand for the Arts, Good2Give, and more.

This year, we're proud to add a new kind of support to that list: our first EPA-funded grant, through Philanthropy Northwest's Thriving Communities program, backing the Living Lake Project — a new venture uniting arts and environmental stewardship to protect Coeur d'Alene Lake. Every level of support helps keep the arts free and thriving in North Idaho.
