About Us
The Coeur d'Alene Arts and Culture Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the arts and connecting people through creative experiences. Since 2007, we've grown beloved community programs including 2nd Friday ArtWalk, the Riverstone Summer Concert Series, and Art Connect.
We connect artists to the public through free community programs and build partnerships with local arts organizations to create a more vibrant, enriched community. Through arts-based events and programming, we foster creative partnerships, support artists with new opportunities, and bring people together.
As an independent nonprofit, we generate operating revenue through sponsorships, fundraising, grants, and memberships to fulfill our mission of:
Increasing arts programming and opportunities in our community
Supporting individual artists, businesses, and nonprofit organizations
Raising awareness of the arts' vital role in our culture and economy
