The members of the Spokane Watercolor Society showcase their diverse styles in water media art, juried by EWU professor Jenny Hyde. First Friday Opening Reception will be on September 5 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. and will feature an awards ceremony, live violin and flute music, and juror's critique of the work. Come and join us for an inspiring "family and friends" free activity. The show will run through September 26 at Spokane Art School.
In the show titled “Going Wild”, RRAFA artists are challenged to pass up the peaceful and quiet landscapes or still lifes and add action and unusual ideas to their art. A sleeping bear is a wild bear, but not a wild idea. Out with the pastel and pleasant and in with bright colors and exceptional designs! The artists are encouraged to courageously think outside the box or create something unique in the box.
When Yasuko Mayhew started ceramics 18 years ago, she made an instant connection working with clay that allowed her to express her love and admiration for all types of beautiful little creatures. In the process of portraying animals, birds, fish, or amphibians realistically, she challenged herself to transform hard and heavy clay to look light, warm, rough, smooth, or fragile, to allow each piece to come to life with a "soul", because as Yasuko says, "creating an animal piece is a very solemn, quiet moment, like a prayer".
Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Sept to enjoy her new enchanting ceramic world. Stop by on First Friday on Sept 5th between 5pm-8pm to meet Yasuko in person!
Heatherann Woods' debut solo exhibition explores perspective and perception in atmospheric oil paintings by capturing ephemeral light from familiar views in the Spokane region. She invites the viewer to not only step into the space and be moved, but also engage with fellow viewers, initiating conversations, by questioning the concept of "realism" and how we project expectations instead of receive information based on personal experience.
