Rothwell tops Inspired Palouse exhibit

A trio of entrants enjoy the “Inspired Palouse” art reception Saturday at The Center in Colfax. They are, from left, Francisco Aguilar, Colfax, third prize winner; Rob Stanard, Colfax, two honorable mentions, and Gayle Havercroft, Spokane, second prize and Artist’s Choice award winner. Nancy Rothwell of Colfax took the $300 top prize, and Carla Danielson of Hooper won the People's Choice award.

The Inspired Palouse art entries, which were displayed with prices for purchase, generated strong interest but netted just four sales.
