From the Studio: Coeur d'Alene Artists Studio Tour

The Coeur d'Alene Arts and Cultural Alliance presents the 5th Annual Artist Studio Tour Saturday and Sunday, June 10-1.  This morning, Arts and Cultural Alliance Executive Director Ali Shute and artist Kathy Gale talked with Verne about this opportunity to experience the creative process by visiting local artists at work. 

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
