Cascade Idaho Arts Walk, 1st annual auction

Help us support public art in the rural town of Cascade, Idaho by purchasing artist fish through our online auction. The life-sized fish have all been weather sealed for indoor or outdoor display. The funding generated from the Cascade Arts Walk (CAW) will provide future public art for the City of Cascade. The minimum bid on all fish is $200. Thirty percent of the auction price will be directly donated to the artist. Thank you in advance for your contribution. Your support will help to sustain our program.

The Cascade Idaho Arts Walk (CAW) launched in the summer of 2022 and was a success! The 2022 summer art walk showcased fiberglass fish and in 2023 wooden owls were on display. The first winter walk featured Christmas trees and in 2023, the winter walk will feature snow globes.

Placemaking is an economic development tool that celebrates local culture and heritage through the arts. This placemaking project is in partnership with the Cascade Cultural Arts Center, the University of Idaho Extension, and the City of Cascade.

The CAW has captured the thoughts and values of local artist residents with storytelling in the artist's statements. Cascade residents celebrate their values through the CAW with stories of magnificent sunsets, dark skies, lake views, fishing, water, religion, and natural resource values through public art. The CAW has also recognized the threats to the cherished landscape including invasive species and wildfires on the landscape.
