“Artful Accessories” by the Palouse Women Artists Organization opens at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn January 5 and continues through January 29th. An opening reception will be held January 8th from 1pm to 3pm.

The Palouse Women Artists Organization is a group of women from the Palouse region and consists of skilled as well as beginning artists. The group formed in 2009 and encourages new artists to join. They generally pick a theme then each member creates a piece in keeping with that topic. Past themes have been Homage to Women, Artists' Joy, The Road Less Traveled and recycled chairs.

Over 25 women from the Palouse Women Artists Organization are contributing to this exhibit. Work consists of functional and wearable artful accessories and also decorative 2-D and 3-D works with an artful accessory theme. Watercolors, collages, linocut prints, felted purses and artfully decorated shoes are just a few of the items on display. All items are for sale.
