Ali & Callie Artcast

In this episode, we meet Chelsea Cordova and Kelly Baker, the creative duo behind Front Room Fine Art Gallery, Spokane’s newest addition to the West End Arts District. Located at the corner of S. Adams and Railroad Alley, Front Room is part of an eclectic pocket of Spokane where galleries, artists and creative spaces come together—and where one of the city’s coolest courtyards sits tucked beneath the railroad tracks. Chelsea and Kelly talk about what inspired them to open the gallery, their vision for the space, and the artists and artwork they’re bringing to Spokane’s growing creative community. It’s a conversation about art, collaboration, taking a chance on a new venture, and discovering the unique places that make a city’s arts scene so much fun.

Step inside the future of entertainment with Jeremy Whittington, founder and creative director of Cinema Quattro, the exciting new boutique cinema opening this November in The NoLL at Liberty Lake. More than just a movie theater, Cinema Quattro is being designed as a creative community gathering place where film, art, music, and live events all come together. Jeremy shares the vision behind the four intimate screening rooms, the upscale snack bar SnaQ, the stylish DrinQ bar, and an innovative LED screen room that will host everything from film premieres and concerts to poetry, presentations, and special events. We also talk about showcasing local artists throughout the space and creating an experience that extends far beyond the closing credits. If you've ever dreamed of a movie theater that's as much about community and creativity as it is about cinema, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the Inland Northwest's most anticipated new arts destinations.

What happens when you gather an award-winning winemaker, a resident sommelier, and two curious podcast hosts around a table? A few pour decisions... and a whole lot of great conversation. Recorded at Stylus with resident sommelier Krista French, this episode features Fiona S. Mak, founder and winemaker of SMAK Wines, as we uncork the fascinating story behind Washington's first rosé-exclusive winery. We explore the growing popularity of rosé, dispel a few myths about "pink wine," and learn why Fiona made the bold decision to dedicate her entire label to crafting exceptional rosés. Founded in 2018, SMAK Wines was established by Fiona S. Mak, the first Asian woman from Hong Kong to own a winery in Washington State at the age of 32. Her thoughtfully crafted, seasonal collection celebrates the flavors and moods of the year: Spring (Sangiovese), Summer (Grenache), Fall (Cabernet Franc), and Winter (Mourvèdre). Even the vibrant labels tell a story, reflecting the joy, personality, and inspiration behind each wine and inviting you to experience the season before you even take your first sip. Whether you're a devoted wine enthusiast or simply rosé-curious, you'll enjoy Fiona's entrepreneurial journey, her passion for winemaking, and her fresh perspective on an often misunderstood style of wine. So pour yourself a glass, sit back, and join us for an entertaining conversation that's equal parts education, inspiration, and—of course—pour decisions.
