Just inside the city limits of a sleepy farming town, Uniontown, Wash., an iconic barn hosts more than just architecture.
The Dahmen Barn is run by a non-profit, whose motive is to bring and sustain art on the Palouse. The former dairy barn has been converted to a place where artists can meet, create and sell their pieces.
“(The barn is) a place for local artists and fine craftspeople to sell their work on consignment, a venue for local performing and exhibiting artists, and creative experiences for children and adults through classes and workshops,” the Barn’s website says.
The barn hosts four major events each year; one for each season. It also features numerous visual and performing arts each month.
Its newest exhibit, which opens Nov. 3, features oil paintings by two Moscow, Idaho artists.
A reception will be held Sunday, November 6 from 1-3 p.m. Both featured artists, Aaron Johnson and Leonard A. Heid will be present.
“Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is on highway 195 in the big white barn behind the famous iron wheel fence. The non-profit creativity center is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. There is no daily admission fee and the facility is fully handicap accessible.
