Artwalk - Pullman WA

Starting today, Pullman is hosting an artwalk. What this means is that local businesses are featuring local artists in their shops. This is a great opportunity to view some amazing art work, get to know local shops and find some deals. Many of the businesses are also participating in Crazy Days this week which is lots of sales and grab bags.
Grab bags are my favorite because it's like getting a present and they are often really inexpensive. One year we got Harry Potter gift bags that had Harry Potter lego pens and other toys.
During this, Lily Bees is hosting a silent auction for Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse (or ATVP).

Come Friday, the artists will be around for the reception. You'll get free snacks and a chance to meet local artists.
Pullman is a full art community. I am always amazed at the number of artists, writers, etc in the area. There's something about the Palouse that just calls to the creative to come and stay. I'm certain there will be art available for sale and a chance to really have some fun.
There are maps at the chamber office or at participating stores. I know that Chipman and Taylor will have sculptures and downtown businesses will have artwork. Daily News had a special insert you can view here.
I'm excited. Tonight we'll be scoping out the concerts in the park at Reaney and Friday we'll be snapping pictures of the Artwalk. Hope to see you there.
