An exciting lineup of local artists, family events and customer appreciation sales await you during the 2012 Pullman ArtWalk. Bringing communities together from Rosalia to Colfax, Palouse to Uniontown, art work from local artisans is on display at participating businesses during regular business hours. Use the maps enclosed in this program to explore the variety of locations, mediums and textures on display.
We are very pleased to bring to you this year's collaborative "regional" ArtWalk. Whitman County is ripe with unique artists and the Pullman ArtWalk is a chance for many of our smaller towns to participate in a collaborative event to showcase the towns and people, and to highlight and bring our communities together.
Hundreds of visitors spent time browsing the shops, viewing the art and speaking with the artists last year all during one night of receptions. This year, by popular demand, we've extended the party to not only reach around Whitman County, but to indulge our whims with receptions and gatherings all week long.
In keeping with the essence of the long-running history of Pullman's Crazy Days, businesses are eager to show their customer appreciation throughout the week with barbecues, store specials and great discounts. Dissmore's IGA will have its yearly customer appreciation Thursday evening and Pullman Building Supply will have hot dogs and goodies Saturday, July 21. The Pullman Farmers Market will be hosting Palouse Women Artists along with a wine tasting by Wawawai Canyon Winery on Wednesday and many other businesses will have specials and discounts throughout the week.
The Second Annual Mayor's Award recipient is Richard "Dick" Domey. Domey has made many outstanding contributions to our community through and for the arts. In 2003, Dick was recognized as one of four "community treasures" for their work enhancing the Gladish Community and Cultural Center. He is also a strong advocate for the arts in education. The Mayor's Award is given as a recognition of arts in our community and sponsored by Mayor Glenn Johnson. Last year's recipient was ArtWalk creator and artist, Carrie Vielle.
It has been a pleasure organizing the 2012 Pullman Regional ArtWalk for you. We thank you for your part in keeping the arts alive in our community and joining us in discovering the unity in our communities.
