In April the Liberty Gallery is hosting a group display titled "Enigma", featuring works by members of Spokane Print & Publishing that are created using a wide variety of printing techniques. The print medium, in all it's forms, and possibly all art in general, is enigmatic. From inspiration to its processes, printing is mysterious and provisional. This show emphasizes the unseen hand, the errant, the wayward, the strange, and the ephemeral. From book artistry to relief carving, from wood type to collage, the artists of Enigma demonstrate the many processes that make their art vital. The show is at the Liberty Gallery from April 1– April 27 ~ the opening night reception to Meet the Artists is April 4th from 5-8pm.
March 24th, 2024 (Coeur d’Alene, ID) – The Art Spirit Gallery welcomes spring with their April exhibition “Cultivation”, featuring works by James Bason, Charlie Knapp, and Sheila Evans.
“Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence” B.R. Ambedkar once said. ‘Cultivation’ at The Art Spirit Gallery showcases three very different artists who have come to cultivate their own creative paths in such different and varied ways, all growing crops of work that are nurturing to the soul. “These three artists are inspired by what resonates within themselves through their connection to the natural world” said gallery owner Blair Williams. “We are always excited to share with visitors to the gallery, the inspiration that each of these artists bring to their work. It connects the viewer on an entirely new level, and moves them.”
Join us on Saturday, April 6th for the opening of the exhibit. Enjoy coffee, cookies, and artists on site to answer questions.
