POAC Gallery

Pend Oreille Arts Council is excited to be part of the Cedar Street Bridge Community. Having our office on the Cedar Street Bridge has given us the opportunity to have evolving art displays which extends the energy of the Bridge to the 2^nd floor, with a vibrant and eclectic collection of local artwork.

The Power House

When you come over the long bridge and enter Sandpoint the first large building you see on your right is the Power House. In the early 1900s, the plant furnished electrical power for Sandpoint and the immediate surrounding area. In later years after the mode of the transmission of electricity had changed, the old building was used as a place for storage. It has since been remodeled on the inside but the exterior retains much of its appearance of years gone by.
Today it houses various businesses and Ross Hall photos, as well as an evolving exhibit of  community artist’s artwork curated by POAC.

Columbia Bank Community Plaza

The Community Plaza gallery is POAC’s special exhibit gallery.  We are occasionally contacted by an artist or teacher who has participated in or organized an interesting artistic project and is seeking a venue in which to share it.  Directly across the street from Farmin Park, this space is in the heart of town and perfect for small and special shows.  If you are interested in using the Community Plaza gallery to showcase your special project, please share your idea with us using the contact form.  Please note that priority scheduling is given to POAC supporters, so become a supporter today!

Ancillary Galleries

POAC maintains gallery exhibits in eight additional “ancillary galleries” in Sandpoint, Ponderay, Dover, and Sagle.  These venues allow people who would not typically seek out arts experiences to experience art in the places that they frequent in daily life.  With varying hours and locations, these venues are often visited by local residents as well as tourists.  They provide excellent opportunities for artists with medium-to-large bodies of work to display solo shows.  Banner Bank, Monarch Mountain Coffee, both Mountain West Banks, and P1FCU are all on four months rotations.  Dover City Hall and Edwards Jones are rotated once a year.
