The Art Spirit Gallery of Fine Art is located in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.  Each month the gallery displays a dazzling new show of original work, creating a changing and vibrant art environment which excites the entire community of Coeur d’Alene.  The gallery highlights some of the leading artists of the region. New shows run throughout the year with openings every second Friday of the month.  This coincides with Art Walks through the downtown of Coeur d'Alene near the old buildings that house the gallery today.  These Art Walks are a popular community activity providing chances to view local art, meet the artists and socialize with friends and neighbors.

Art on the Green is held at the old Fort Sherman Grounds on the North Idaho College Campus, just a short walk from Downtown and City Park. Shuttle bus service to the west side of the NIC campus from downtown is also available during the festival.  This event is usually held at the end of July or very beginning of August.  A marketplace, performance space and a gathering place for friends and families, this yearly event is the highlight of the summer in Coeur d'Alene.  Art on the Green is a great place to buy a wide variety of handcrafted works in a plethora of mediums. Or if you prefer, create your own special art in our hands-on-art sections for children and adults- materials and instructions provided.  Active participation by all interested members of the community is invited and encouraged.

Coeur d'Alene features a a fantastic summer theatre as well.  Full-scale Broadway plays like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Producers, and Dames at Sea are just samples of these summer performances.  The quickly growing Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre nationally recruits multi-talented performers, features full orchestrations, and is a favorite of Coeur d’Alene residents of all ages.  Follow this link to learn more about the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre.

The Museum of North Idaho and Fort Sherman Museum both are fantastic ways to learn about the region's history and get a taste of local talent.  The Museum of North Idaho was made possible by volunteers and the support of the community.  Built in 1880, Fort Sherman Chapel is Coeur d'Alene’s oldest church, school, library and meeting hall and a treasured part of the Coeur d’Alene population.

Throughout the year art festivals and museum exhibits fill the Couer d'Alene area.  We suggest visiting the Events Calendar to see all of the options!
