FRONT ROOM ART GALLERY
where Fine Art feels like Home
Our focus is on highlighting contemporary work from artists in the greater Northwest region, with a large, though not exclusive, emphasis on Spokane and the surrounding area. We’re each passionate about work that shows a high level of professionalism and skill: strong material use, a clear and unique artist voice, and thoughtful presentation. Our overlapping and individual perspectives, as well as relationships with our artists, guide our selection and curation. We are excited to bring this energy to Front Room Art Gallery and downtown Spokane, creating a multi‑faceted gallery experience.
