This show features 38 female artists from the Palouse exhibiting shrines commemorating other female artists from around the world. These shrines offer a small glimpse of the style of work from the artists being honored. The shrines contain materials similar to those used by various artists. These materials include, found objects, recycled materials, various forms of paint, sketches, papers and an array of other media.

I found this show to be especially fun. The creativity expressed shows exceptional craftsmanship and immense passion. Although the pieces varied in size, the maximum size for each piece is 18” x 22”. Many of the pieces offer exquisite detail.
