From the traditional arts to culinary arts. From graphic design to landscape design. Writers and outdoor guides. People who make films and those who create experiences. Creativity is all around us. And it all comes together to form the foundation for a strong rural economy.

Chewelah has long been a mecca for creative people.

Rural areas around the country are experiencing economic stability and growth by developing a diverse creative sector, focusing on a vibrant main street, and attracting people to the area to visit, shop, work, and raise a family.

We have an opportunity to build a diversified, sustainable, local economy by nurturing our creative sector businesses and organizations, including arts & culture, entrepreneurship, recreation, and community engagement.

We can do this by working together to direct our imaginations, efforts, and resources toward the development of the people and talents within our community and the infrastructure that supports their work.
