Shortridge's art to return to Blackwell Gallery

Stephen Shortridge is returning to the Coeur d’Alene art scene as one of the featured artists at Blackwell Gallery.

“We will be showing nine pieces of his work — a few romantic impressionism pieces that people may have seen, a few of his hand-embellished prints and then several new pieces that incorporate some new techniques he is using,” said Beth Rich Brown, gallery manager and curator at Blackwell Gallery, 205 Sherman Ave.

A former Sherman Avenue gallery owner, Shortridge closed The Painter’s Chair Art Gallery in October 2016. An opening reception will take place Friday, May 11, from 5 to 8 p.m. in conjunction with the Coeur d’Alene Arts and Culture Alliance’s Artwalk.

Regular Blackwell Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
