There is a school of thought that artists must have only one recognizable style but Cherylee Duncan has too much artful energy to adhere to that 'rule'. If she has a distinct trademark, it would be 'eclectic' ~ Cherylee abhors waste and therefore get excited about reusing and upcycling as much as possible, to emulate nature's delight in each piece.

When she crochets rugs from all recycled fabrics Cherylee saves bits and pieces for use in mixed media paintings. This method, along with using only what is already on hand, is how she has created her new series, Threadscapes II ~ the options are excitingly endless.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the historic Liberty Building this May to see Cherylee's work ~ come by First Friday May 1st to meet Cherylee in person!

This show centers around the flow of life in the natural world, illuminated by the slanting light at the edges of dawn and dusk. The paintings celebrate life’s small wonders; the fleeting instance of a hummingbird, the rushing sound of a waterfall, the sweet smell of spring grass bending to the hooves of a new foal.

“Native Mother Nature” is a grand centerpiece of creatures engaging in a peaceful afternoon of spirits coming together, celebrating the simple joys of living as intended; and the painting “The Big Red Horse” honors the year of the fire horse, a year of building for a future of powerful beginnings.

Stop by the Liberty Gallery at 203 N. Washington St during May to see Janene's painting ~ stop by First Friday May 1st from 5-8pm to meet Janene in person!

This show brings together a group of local artists working in clay, paper, glass, wood, metal and fiber to create pieces that sit between use & sculpture. Some can be held or worn, while others ask to be looked at slowly. All of them start with materials we recognize and then are transformed into something beautiful and unexpected.

Madeline Eileen Goolie, known as MEG, is an Alaskan-born printmaking and multimedia artist. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University with a focus on relief printmaking. Her practice grows naturally out of her time spent in the wilderness of the Alaskan coast, where she has had many encounters with the numerous animal inhabitants of the region. Her recent work explores themes of memory, loss, and familial connections through symbolic animal imagery. Madeline actively showcases her work at galleries, fairs, and artist markets throughout the Inland / Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Join us at Terrain Gallery for ‘The Table Is Set’, a unique art show by Liv Hebert Watkins, honoring the everyday people, objects, and rituals in life. The central aspect of this concept is the dinner table– a space where individuals gather and interact as a whole; despite differences in background, culture, language or family ties. There is beauty in the simple act of gathering, sharing a warm drink, eating food, and sitting together. Combining iconographic halos with commonplace faces and objects, Liv explores the beauty and divinity of the ordinary.

Spokane Riverkeeper and Roots of Resilience are proud to announce a new partnership to co-host the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, a two-day event featuring films that explore our relationship with land and water, community connection, and collective action. This year’s lineup offers an inspiring selection of stories that inform, motivate, and ignite solutions around the festival’s 2026 theme: Mobilize.
Rooted in a shared commitment to protecting the places we depend on and strengthening local ecosystems, the two organizations are joining forces to highlight the deep connections between water, land, and community well‑being. Spokane Riverkeeper advances clean water and river health through advocacy and community engagement, while Roots of Resilience supports regenerative agriculture and farmer‑led stewardship across the region.
“This partnership reflects the reality that healthy rivers and healthy farms are deeply connected,” said Water Protector, Katy Scott of Spokane Riverkeeper. “By coming together, we can tell a more complete story about how we care for the landscapes that sustain us.”
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival will take place over two days, each with a distinct thematic focus:
Day One: Water
The opening day’s lineup brings together powerful stories from rivers, oceans, and communities around the world—films that explore water scarcity, sea‑based cultures, microplastic pollution, native fish conservation, Indigenous river restoration, kelp research, and the human stakes of water management in a changing climate.
Day Two: Land
Day Two explores the many ways people care for, learn from, and restore the landscapes we depend on. From regenerative grazing and soil health to Indigenous fire stewardship, biodiversity recovery, foraging traditions, and the hidden networks of fungi, these films highlight the resilience of land and the communities working to heal it.
In addition to film screenings, attendees can expect opportunities for discussion, community engagement, and connection with local organizations working toward a more sustainable future.
“Storytelling is a powerful tool for change,” said Tim Copeland, Roots of Resilience. “These films help illuminate both the challenges and the solutions emerging from our communities. We’re excited to partner with Spokane Riverkeeper to bring these stories to a wider audience.”
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is part of a national movement that uses film to inspire environmental awareness and action. By hosting the festival locally, Spokane Riverkeeper and Roots of Resilience aim to spark meaningful dialogue and empower community members to help protect the lands and waters that sustain our region.
