Two Degrees Northwest: Where Art Meets the Land sells fine art and contemporary craft created by over 40 artists and artisans in north central Idaho and southeastern Washington. The retail store/business incubator is a social enterprise of our nonprofit of the same name.

At our store, 70% of the income from purchases goes into the artists' pockets and the rest, along with donations, supports our programs.

We work to support and create opportunities for arts-based economic development; to cooperatively market the region's artists, artisans and place-based businesses; and to link our region's arts and fine crafts to other locally-made products such as foods, wines, unique sites, services, and experiences.

Incubator participants get to test their products for market and apply new business skills in a main street storefront environment. Also, they have access to business development, networking, online selling, and marketing services. We offer internships for art, design, and marketing students to help members enhance the skills needed to be successful. The store features a workshop area as well as a dedicated gallery space for exhibits of individual artists and art organizations.
