The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by painter by Kelly Packer. Please visit the exhibit between Feb. 3, and March 22, 2026.
"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.
Please join the Gallery for this 3/6, First Friday, 5-8pm, Multi Media show, featuring reclaimed metal sculptural art created by our collective member, Karlene Schoedel. The show will also highlight work from other members and local artist consignors. Karlene's art has moved through many mediums; ceramics & jewelry, to this current work of found metal and mixed media. Her critical eye for composition, form and texture is evident in each piece she creates. Pieces of metal that may appear as "junk" to us, are full of potential for Karlene. From small works to large scale assemblages that can be displayed indoor or as outdoor sculpture, her artwork is sometimes humorous & whimsical, or of a more serious nature, sustainably made, and withstands the test of time. Please Note: This First Friday Show, 3/6, is from 5pm-8pm. Our regular gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturdays, 11-5pm. This show runs through Saturday, March 28th.
My practice grows from the landscapes that raised me. Through fragmented, woven images, my work explores grief, reciprocity, and the impossibility of full repair. The Elements emerges from both personal and environmental upheavals, exploring the tension between us and the environment. We rely on natural forces, yet we continue to shape and strain them in return.

Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition Tidal Loop February 17 through April 2, 2026. This exhibition features woven textile works by Chicago-based visual artist Meagan Smith and Seattle, WA-based visual artist Allyce Wood. An opening reception and lecture by Meagan and Allyce will be held on Tuesday, February 17th at Noon.
Tidal Loop brings together the woven practices of Meagan Smith and Allyce Wood, two artists whose work explores rhythm, perception, and the fluid intelligence of craft. Through handwoven and digitally informed textiles, Smith translates sensory experience, movement, and vibration into shimmering fields of color and pattern that echo the unseen forces shaping our environment. Wood’s weavings draw on the feminist history of craft, using looping forms, watery imagery, and layered structures to reflect interconnection, inheritance, and collective knowledge. Together, their works evoke cycles of motion and continuity, positioning weaving as both an embodied practice and a lens for understanding perception, time, and flow.
