Bank Left to display “Power of Three”

Bank Left Gallery at Palouse will present The Power of Three — the art of three accomplished regional artists and devoted friends, Linda Dillard, Tamara Helm and Nancy Wriggle. Their careers and friendship have spanned 30 years, making them an enduring and influential force in the area art world. Their creative energies have focused on culinary art, environmental art, fine art and all levels of art education. The Bank Left installation ranges from oils to mixed media three-dimensional art forms - “Shrines to the Kitchen.”

This is the first time these three artists have exhibited their work together as a celebration of their friendship.

An artists reception will be Saturday, Nov. 12, 1 to 5 p.m., followed by a dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The exhibit will run until Dec. 2.
