Riverside, Thursday April 18 through Sunday April 21st, Thurs to Sat 5-10 pm, Sun 3-9 pm., and celebrate with us the joy of Denae's paintings in this unique retrospective of her thought-provoking work. Denae's interpretations range from the interconnectedness she found among world cultures, social movements, and iconic historical figures, to her often witty embrace of the richness and beauty to be found in everyday life and the glories of nature. We look forward to you joining us for this moving exhibit and sale honoring Denae's profound spirit and art. Proceeds from any of Denae's art sold will benefit Union Gospel Mission. Thank you from her family and many friends.

The SDR is a drawing event and fundraiser featuring local artists. The event consists of three one-hour rounds with the artists drawing simultaneously. Part performance art, part laboratory, part art bazaar, the SDR is an incredible opportunity to go behind the studio walls and watch some of your favorite Spokane artists create original drawings from a blank page. As each round is completed, the drawings will be immediately hung up and made available for a fixed price of $75. If more than one person wishes to purchase an original drawing, the winner will be determined by drawing straws.
