THE ART SPIRIT GALLERY is the featured venue for September Artwalk in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Featured are works by four artists: Chris Bivins’ whimsical ceramic masks and sculptures; Laura Nuchols’ ceramic works covered in her elaborately inscribed images; Shannon Troxler’s unusual paintings over gold leaf; and works by Reid Schoonover, an accomplished potter and woodworker whose functional ware combines both.
Plan to spend a chunk of time at ANGEL GALLERY FINE ART & ANTIQUES. Check out its collection of original artwork from plein air paintings to charming watercolors, custom furnishings and hand-crafted curiosities, both functional and decorative. The featured artist is contemporary realist, Paul Hill.
EMERGE is going back-to-school with an exhibition of artwork by instructors who regularly share their knowledge and passion for art through classes of all levels at Emerge. A popular stop on the Artwalk circuit, Emerge highlights up-and-coming artists in its contemporary space, which also hosts live music during events.
Sit in the front lounge area for a view of Sherman Avenue’s busy street during Artwalk at STUDIO 107. Or sit along the bar, closer to live music — the Tonedevil Brothers will be playing Americana Bluegrass — and treat yourself to wine and appetizers. Or just wander through, admiring the custom jewelry, extravagant displays of glass, vibrant artwork and featured works of Michaela Olinger and Nate Main.
COEUR D’ALENE GALLERIES invites you to its popular Miniatures by the Lake exhibition, showcasing 122 artworks by more than 70 artists. Of course, while you’re there, you’ll want to view its collection of more than 170 contemporary and historical artists, from Kenneth Yarus to NC Wyeth.
Other Arts & Culture Alliance members participating in Artwalk include ARLON ROSENOFF FINE ART, CISCOS GALLERY and COEUR D’ALENE FRESH & BADASS BACKYARD BREWING, where Ginger Mayfield will be featured with her hand-painted wine glasses. Look for original art by local artists at BLACKWELL GALLERY and remember to stop by GALLERY NORTHWEST and SUMMERS GLASS and BEADS.
ArtWalk wouldn’t be complete without a bite to eat. Supporting restaurants include Cricket’s Downtown Bar and Grill, the Doghouse, Pita Pit, Seasons of Coeur d’Alene and Tito’s Italian Grill and Wine Shop.
