Jeremy Whittington, longtime Spokane creative, shares his journey from theater and design to his next big leap: opening a boutique four-plex cinema and wine bar in Liberty Lake. He talks about the power of saying yes to opportunities, how sobriety and loss shaped his perspective, and why leaning into excitement instead of fear has guided his career. From living in a storage closet while pursuing art, to leading Spokane Arts, to designing sets and community spaces, Jeremy reflects on resilience, creativity, and leaving a legacy of inclusion and uplift.
