North End Fine Art’s grand opening is the result of a long trajectory as an artist and business owner, said Michele Walters.

What led her to close the retail storefront of Tribe Artist Collective in Driggs included a tough economy and location. She also wanted to split off the education component of the endeavor, creating a nonprofit. That will allow a focus on events like the “Roll It Out” sttreamroller printmaking festival — an annual fall event that allows artists to create large-scale block prints using machinery on the streets of Tetonia — and other art classes.
