“Swing by Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts & History for rotating art and humanities exhibits, artist talks, and the occasional film or hands-on workshop. It also powers community classics like Art Under the Elms and Grape & Grain, so there’s always something worth a quick look this week.”

“Art Uncorked is where blank canvases and plain porcelain get a glow-up this week. Grab a seat for guided paint sessions, pick a ceramic piece to decorate, or snag a take-home kit for couch creativity. You’ll leave with actual wall-worthy art, plus decor finds that make your place feel more you.”

“Nez Perce County Historical Society and Museum turns Lewiston's story into an easy afternoon, from The Nez Perce (Ni Mii Puu) exhibits and Chinese in Lewiston to Trolley Car #8, the Heritage House, and a Territorial Capitol replica. Bring kids for the hands-on stations, stay for the surprisingly addictive local lore.”
