Celebrating 100 years of women's votes: Open house to support public sculpture Saturday

Renowned local artist Terry Lee’s life-size suffragette, the latest of his public art creations commissioned by the city of Coeur d’Alene, will soon be immortalized in bronze (a multistep process which takes months). While Lee’s considerable time in creating the sculpture is donated, the material costs involved run tens of thousands of dollars.
