Stories sought at Art on the Green

COEUR d'ALENE - This week's upcoming Art on the Green on the campus of North Idaho College will mark more than 40 years that the Citizens Council on the Arts has brought this iconic event to our community.

"It is now woven into the fabric of summers in our town," said project director Barbara Mueller.

In order to capture the experiences and memories associated with Art on the Green, the Coeur d'Alene Library Foundation's StoryCatcher Project will be setting up a recording booth and asking attendees to stop by and share their stories. Volunteers will be conducting 10-minute interviews with participants that will be archived and placed on the StoryCatcher website.

The booth will be constructed using panels from Mueller's "Portrait of a Town" project that hung for two years in Sherman Square Park. Art on the Green attendees are encouraged to stop Aug. 1-3 to share their own experiences.
