Joe Feddersen: Earth, Water, Sky is a career retrospective of nationally renowned artist Joe Feddersen (b. 1953, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation). This exhibition at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane gathers four decades of the prolific artist’s prints, glass, weaving, and ceramics in the largest and most comprehensive showing of his career to date. From miniatures to wall-sized installations, the exhibition features more than 120 works. Note: the museum is closed Mondays and holidays.
Gearing up for 2025, we'll unveil the candidates for officers and board positions. We'll also, as usual, see some amazing art: our challenge this month is "Get Wild". Paint a mask or costume you would have liked to wear as a kid (or now). Our recent survey reveled that a majority of members want to see demonstrations by members and guests. Our Colville member, Butch Bovan, will demonstrate her technique of doing bas ("bah") relief! If you're an artist and don't belong to an art group, maybe this is the one for you! Guests welcome!
It was at Eastern University that Donna Kulibert discovered the joy of working with clay, and wants each of her pottery pieces to stand alone. Her carved pieces have a rippled surface like flowing water ~ the texture is intended for the person to rub their hands over to make them aware of nature.
Clay is timeless and potters have played a major role in civilizations. Archaeologists study ancient pottery to understand lost societies. I make pottery to be passed on for generations. Donna started making pottery in 1976 and for 35 years was a member of Pottery Place.
Stop by our gallery in October to experience Donna's lifelong love of pottery ~ stop by the First Friday Reception on Oct 4 from 5-8:30pm to meet Donna Kulibert in person!
A show at the Liberty Gallery in Oct titled “Mask” brings to mind Halloween fun, Italian masquerade, and Mardi Gras, which are all part of this show. However, masks also serve other purposes that the artists explore; whether for protection, to deceive, or for concealment. Finally, some artists have created abstract art pieces that hide the images and meaning in their art, requiring the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the piece. The artists visually explore the “Mask” theme in mediums ranging from papier-mache to colored pencils; watercolor to mixed media. Stop by the First Friday Reception to Meet the Artists on Oct 4 from 5-8:30pm!
