About this episode

This episode explores the opening of Modus Fine Art Gallery, a new artist-led space in Coeur d'Alene.

Welcome to the story of Modus Fine Art Gallery, a new kind of creative space shaped by artists, for artists. Opening June 12 during ArtWalk, Modus Fine Art is a collective gallery where collaboration, experimentation, and artistic ownership take center stage. Two of the owners, Chris Grubb and Maya Rumsey, talk about their new venture located in the former Art Spirit Gallery on Sherman in Coeur d'Alene. Founded and run by five local artists—and supported by a wider collective of 22 working artists—Modus Fine Art brings diverse perspectives and mediums under one roof. Meet the five owner-artists leading the way: Sculptor Chris Grubb, painter Toby Keough, printmaker Hanna Kuhns, public art sculptor Sarah Thompson Moore, and potter Maya Melissa Rumsey. Whether you’re curious about the creative process, the challenges and joys of running an artist-led space, or how a large collective gallery comes to life, this episode invites you into the heart of Modus Fine Art. Visit modusfineart.com, as well as instagram @modusfineart, to learn more, explore upcoming events, and connect with the artists. Join us as we celebrate art, community, and the power of artists creating opportunity for one…
