Community Calendar

Last year, Vytal Movement Dance, a non-profit 501c-3 arts organization, hosted our 2nd annual fundraising event, Illuminate: A Dance Gala where we raised over $12,000 to increase access to professional dance and dance education in the Inland Northwest. After an incredible show of support at our first two galas, we are thrilled to be hosting our third annual event. We are aiming high and hoping to raise a significant amount of funds to further our mission. This year’s Illuminate: A Dance Gala will be held in our home space in downtown Spokane on the evening of November 1, 2025. The night will include dinner, drinks, live dance performance, a virtual silent auction, live auction, paddle raise, and more!

All funds raised during this elegant event and will be used to foster the creation, experimentation, and development of dance education, performance opportunities, and new artistic projects. Additionally, contributions from the night allow Vytal Movement Dance to collaborate with guest choreographers, performers, musicians, and other artists and to present concert dance to our Inland Northwest audiences on a larger scale and more frequent basis. Your attendance, participation, and generosity directly contribute to and propel the growth of the arts in our community!

If you'd like to learn more about our organization, sponsorship, providing a live or silent auction item, or attending this event, please visit our website VytalMovement.org or contact giving@vytalmovemnet.org

There’s something truly special about sharing a meal together—and we’re excited to announce that it’s time for another one of our community dinners! November's menu is hearty lasagna, garden salad, garlic bread and dessert. Come hungry and ready to enjoy a feast prepared with love—plus, live music. There’s nothing quite like the sound of laughter, conversation, and community spirit under one roof.

We believe some of the best moments in life happen around a dinner table. It’s where we laugh, share our stories, and turn strangers into friends. For us, creating this space is an authentic way to live out our calling to love our neighbors. In a world that can feel divided, we wanted that same feeling of a welcoming family table for our entire neighborhood.

This is about more than just a free meal; it's about connection. We’ve found that when we make space for each other, something incredible happens. The walls that divide us start to come down, and we discover a deeper sense of hope and community. It’s in this simple act of gathering that we not only connect with each other, but we also find a path to becoming more like Jesus. We invite you to pull up a chair and experience this unique blend of community and faith for yourself.

Park in our lot or along the side streets. Enter in the door to the right of the main stairs. Head on up and join the crowd. Doors open at 5:30, dinner is served at 6. Hang out and visit as long as you'd like.
