The Art Spirit Gallery founder/owner Steve Gibbs passes away



Steve Gibbs, longtime owner of The Art Spirit Gallery in downtown Coeur d'Alene, died December 31 after being diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) this past June. He was 64.

Gibbs, a 1977 arts graduate from Montana State University, had nearly a 40-year career in the arts. He started The Art Spirit Gallery in 1997 in a small house down the street from its current location. Gibbs bought the downtown building that is now home to the gallery at 415 Sherman Avenue.

Gibbs initiated the Coeur d'Alene Arts and Culture Alliance, the second Friday ArtWalk, Kids Draw Architecture, and has actively served on the boards of the Idaho Commission on the Arts, the arts and culture alliance, the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Association, Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission's public art selection committees. His spirit will live on at the gallery, under the ownership of gallery assistant Blair Williams and assistants Kasey Davis, Teresa Runge, and Mason Miles. Williams is quick to point out they are all gallery assistants. It will always be Steve's gallery.

A memorial service is being planned and we will have more details at a later date.
