Join instructors Nadia Hitchcock and Nanette Cloud for a standalone session focused on observing the human form and developing your drawing skills. You get to explore the art of figure drawing in a relaxed, supportive setting with no long-term commitment. All experience levels welcomed.

Michelle Barnes, educator and curator of the museum, looks at the challenges and rewards of getting an education at Priest Lake on July 31. Since the first settlers came in the late 1890's, Priest Lake managed to maintain schools and teachers. But it was not always an easy feat, balancing harsh winters, isolated working conditions, and a fluid number of pupils. Michelle will share how these schools defined community for generations.

We were lucky enough to have Superintendent Forester Hannah Basham as a part of our Heritage Series last year. She provided an in depth look at the Priest River Experimental Forest and the invaluable services the research center provides. With that knowledge and passion, Hannah will lead the tour through the historical buildings and long-term research plots within the Experimental Forest. (photo from University of Idaho collection)

Attend the third year of this staple regional event, which brings together the Spokane community to discuss important transportation topics. Join transportation professionals, government officials, members of the business community, and more to learn about how we can work together to continually improve our regional transportation system. Breakfast will be served while attendees listen to a keynote presentation, followed by a panel of local leaders. There is 30 minutes of additional networking time that will follow after the event.

This year will be especially exciting as we dive into the data of where our regional transportation system is projected to head. Get a preview of the content by reading the Horizon 2050 draft plan when it is released in September.
