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.

This collection of abstract photographs by Gay Waldman was captured during her beach visits along the coasts of CA, OR & WA, images of nature’s compositions of line, form, and shape that emerge everyday along the Pacific Ocean.

As Gay said, "My hope is that when you wander thru these beach abstracts, you can share my wonder for natural curiosities and you might also be reminded of salt air and the sound of the rolling waves."

Stop by the Liberty Gallery in the Historic Liberty Building this March to see Gay's photos ~ stop by First Friday on March 6th to meet Gay in person from 5-8pm.

Nicole Mowbray is a Spokane ceramicist dedicated to transforming the raw beauty of earth into functional art. Her work showcases textured clay bodies, earthy tones, and merges form & function in a way that celebrates our natural world.

Cynthia Smutny is a jeweler whose bold geometric lines and expressive qualities of organic shapes form the heart of her work. Working primarily in silver, copper, brass, enamel, and natural stones allows Cynthia to explore contrast in both structure and surface.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this March to see Nicole's pottery & Cynthia's jewelry ~ stop by First Friday on March 6th to meet them in person from 5-8pm.

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.

Sound Bath at ALURA Wellness Spa with I AM Alliance

You are invited into an evening of deep rest, presence, and care.

Held inside the beautiful space of ALURA Wellness Spa, this sound bath experience is designed to allow you to fully soften and receive. From the moment you arrive, every detail has been prepared so you can set down the weight of the day and return to yourself.

ALURA creates the environment of comfort and calm, while I AM Alliance holds the space for you to journey inward. Through waves of sound and stillness, you are invited to listen more deeply, release what no longer needs to be carried, and reconnect with the quiet wisdom within you.

Your experience includes water, a yoga mat, pillow, blankets, and eye mask, along with a few thoughtful gifts to support your integration after the evening ends.

Whether this is your first sound bath or your hundredth, we welcome you exactly as you are. Each experience is unique, and each person receives what they are ready for in that moment.

You are welcome to bring anything that will help you feel more supported during your time with us.

Come as you are.
Allow yourself to be held.
And give yourself the space to simply be.
