“Through this curated art exhibition and sale, we hope to further expand the art offerings in Post Falls and the surrounding area while sharing the beauty of our historic building,” JACC Director Darla Dreyer said in a press release Wednesday.
Graham, who works primarily in acrylics, soft pastels and watercolors, said artists will bring affordable art to Art Fest to brighten homes, delight hearts and provide inspiration.
“If you don’t know about JACC, come and be amazed by this amazing gem that supports so many different types of local art,” Graham said.
Listed on the National Register of Historical Places, JACC is housed in a unique building created in 1921 by combining two churches from the 1890s.
