This interactive installation features poetry from people on their healing journey after domestic violence paired with artwork by local artists. At each of the 15 stations that are displayed along a scenic walking path, you’ll find conversation prompts designed to spark meaningful dialogue about what healthy and unhealthy relationships can look like.

We hope you engage friends and family in this rewarding experience any time this October in Riverfront Park. Take a walk, start a conversation, and see what happens.

Since 2019 Gonzaga University has hosted an annual Spokane Candidates Climate Change Forum, a non-partisan event that invites candidates for local office to share with voters and community members what they would or would not do about climate change if elected. After the primary election, all candidates for the selected offices are invited to attend. This non-partisan event is an opportunity to hear candidate’s views on this urgent issue of concern to our community. Register at https://www.gonzaga.edu/climate-institute/events

Did you participate in the First Friday Art Walk but not ready to go home? Are you tired of going to the bar?

Late Laughs is your monthly dose of experimental improv and comedy, happening every First Friday at 9:30 PM. Each show features a rotating lineup of performers from independent troupes to new voices trying something bold and unpredictable. These are not your typical Blue Door shows. Each 20-minute set is a chance for groups to push boundaries, test new formats, and take creative risks… all in front of a late-night crowd that is ready for anything.

Whether you are a night owl looking for laughs or just want something different to do downtown, Late Laughs is your alternative to the usual Friday night.

Tickets just $6.

Come curious. Leave laughing.
