Beginning our second
year of official operation October 1, 2007
October 1, 2006, approximately 1,000 people showed up to
see artisans at work in their spaces and listen to music provided by the Hog
Heaven Big Band, Potatohead band and the Old Time Fiddlers. Everyone had fun
and the kick off of the Artisans at the Dahmen Barn, was successful!
The
renovation of the landmark barn in Uniontown that is surrounded by the wheel
fence is nearly complete. Formerly a dairy barn donated to the community by
Steve and Junette Dahmen, the structure has been stabilized and transformed
into a facility with studio space for artisans, a retail shop, classroom area
and a space in the former hay loft where performances, dances and other
community events are held. 
The mission of Artisans at the Dahmen Barn
is to bring fine and folk art to the public. The center and its programs offers
a new way of introducing the work of regional artists and craftspeople. A
carefully designed marketing program will bring people to the center.
Attractions include the gift shop, artisans at work in their studio spaces,
special art exhibitions, regularly scheduled classes and performance events,
plus a Palouse Scenic By-ways visitor information center.
