The Art Spirit Gallery announced the July exhibition, “New Western Vibe,” with an opening reception from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at The Art Spirit Gallery, 415 E. Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene.
The works featured in the exhibit will accomplish the Western look with elegance and flair, and sometimes fun, gallery Owner Blair Williams said in a press release dated June 18.
“The American West brings to mind cowboy culture and majestic landscapes by popular imagination,” she continued. “But when decorating a ranch home perched on plains and hedged by mountains, there’s a fine line between honoring the place and perpetuating clichés.”
The month’s exhibit includes contemporary interpretations of Western images including wildlife, landscapes, cowboys, Native American imagery and more.
Wildlife photography, dramatic prairie scenes in oil, Western towns in watercolor, and mixed-media works by Native American artists that embody the region’s culture will be on display until July 30.
Featured artists include Terry Lee, Sheila Evans, Andrew Avakian, Christian Benoit, Paul Freidrich, Lance Green, Sam Scott and Sara Taylor.
Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
