Greater Sandpoint Chamber welcomes Art Works Gallery


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed Art Works Gallery to the Chamber. Art Works Gallery was founded in 1995 by local and regional artists looking for an outlet for the fine arts and crafts. Today, the co-op gallery has 34 local and regional artist members which own and operate the gallery. They call it their home and take turns working at the shop.

The Art Works Gallery draws customers from Canada and across the US. With a wide variety of art offerings, everyone can find something they like and enjoy in their gallery. They have paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic & pastel; calligraphy; cards; crystals; jewelry; sculptures in metal, clay, terracotta, paper mache; photography; glass - kiln worked, fused, blown, & stained; pottery; wearable art; woodwork; & more. All pieces are one-of-a-kind artist created.

Art Works’ unique gallery provides a wide variety of fine art and fine crafts for the public to enjoy, whether “just browsing” or to purchase for their home or friends.  You are sure to find just the right item, whether a large original painting for your new home or office, or a hostess gift to give as a “thank you for the invitation.”

Art Works Gallery membership is on a jury basis. If you are an artist or fine craftsperson interested in exhibiting and selling your work with a group of like-minded artists, come in to see if Art Works just might be a good fit for you! If you like what you see, ask for a copy of the Art Works Jury Guidelines from an artist on duty or visit their website www.sandpointartworks.com.

Art Works Gallery is located downtown at 214 N 1st Ave and they are open daily from 10am-5pm and 11am-5pm on Sundays. For more information, visit the Art Works Gallery at their location, visit www.sandpointartworks.com, email sandpointartworks@gmail.com or call
