COEUR d'ALENE — Five local artists and 11 children will be displaying their art on Saturday during the Kettle of Dreams event.
Kettle of Dreams started in 2018, with the goal of bringing awareness to local artists and collecting donations to support the community. Because of COVID-19, there will not be an event at the local art gallery. Instead, kettles will be on display at stores throughout Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls.

New this year, 11 children who took part in the Kroc Center’s Creative Art II Class will also be displaying their creative painted kettles throughout the community.
