About the Gallery

CLICK HERE FOR A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE GALLERY.

The gallery opened in 1997 and is located in Downtown Coeur d'Alene nestled on the northern shore of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene. With 2500 sq. ft. of premium exhibition space and 1500 of basement inventory space, you can find a wide array of high-quality original artwork featuring top regional artists. Everyone is welcome!

Each month, the gallery is hung with a new show of original work, creating a changing and vibrant art environment.  Opening receptions are generally held on the second Friday of each month from April through December in conjunction with the Coeur d’Alene downtown Art Walks.  The opening receptions are popular community events providing opportunities to view the art, meet the artists and socialize with friends and neighbors.

Coeur d'Alene, located in the forests of northern Idaho, is a resort community with dramatic natural beauty, abundant opportunities for outdoor and water recreation, and an active, cohesive arts community.  All of this is available in the downtown area, which embraces the northern end of 25 mile-long Lake Coeur d'Alene.
