The "Watercolor Experience" is a collection of paintings from the Signature Members of the Spokane Watercolor Society. These senior members have a strong grasp of the medium and the ability to express themselves through it. You will be amazed at the variety of styles and see just how versatile watercolor is today.

Stop by the Liberty Gallery in June to view this great show. The First Friday Reception to Meet the Artists is June 6 from 5-8:30pm. At 7:30 pm a People’s Choice award will be presented, and as a special treat, our SWS member, Donna Stallings, will perform her violin from 5–7pm during the First Friday opening!

Watercolor, pencil & acrylic artist Bernadette Beeman grew up in North Idaho, and has been sharpening her hyper-realism pieces after studying with talented teachers through the years ~ in college she even studied welding!

Photographer Charles Ayars lives in Liberty Lake, having honed his skills on the plains of South Dakota taking pictures of old barns. He retired after 36 years as a Presbyterian pastor, having served in six states, and over the past eight years has expanded his artist's eye to capture not only the beauty of nature, but also the layering of images to create unique photo collages and abstracts.

Bernadette & Charles are the Pottery Place Plus Guest Artists this June ~ stop by the shop in the Liberty Building to see their great work... stop by First Friday June 6th from 5-8pm to meet them in person!

Immerse yourself in a transformative 90-minute sound healing journey designed to bring harmony to your mind, body, and soul. These intimate experiences are far more than simply receiving sound — they are a sacred opportunity to reconnect with your inner self, quiet the noise of everyday life, and embrace the healing energy that resides within you.

This offering invites you to come with intention — to show up fully present and open to the experience. Whether your intention is clarity, release, or a deeper connection to your spirit, this is a space to tune in and listen to what your soul is asking for. Sound becomes the guide, but it’s your willingness to connect that opens the path to healing.

Spaces are intentionally limited to maintain the intimacy and depth of the experience, so reserve your spot today. Allow yourself to pause, reset, and step back into life feeling grounded, refreshed, and aligned.

This 8-week course (Tuesdays, starting May 20th) expands upon the foundations built in our Intro to Improv course. We will continue to explore strong scene building, attentive listening, and committed contribution while working towards solidifying improv fundamentals to make you the best improviser you can be. “Intro to Improv” is a prerequisite for this class.

For the duration of your course, you can see Blue Door shows on Friday and Saturday for free!
