Sasha Barrett was born and raised in Sumy, Ukraine, where he spent half of his childhood. He has been a resident artist at various clay studios across the country, as well as completing his MFA from the University of Montana in 2025. He states, “This exhibition is a portrayal of the last three-plus years of war on the soil of my homeland. Whether through the tactile properties of clay sculpture, the direct information delivery of documentary film, or actual artifacts and objects from the war, I hope this presentation of artwork leaves you with compassion and a deeper understanding of what Ukraine is fighting for.”

Join the Community Resource Envision Center Saturday, November 29th, for a free holiday celebration in downtown Sandpoint as part of the Festival of Trees. Friends & Family Day features photos with Santa, cookies and cocoa, a 4th-grade gingerbread contest, children’s crafts and activities, and live local entertainment—all in one joyful day for the whole community.

Katie Frey is a Spokane artist who primarily paints landscapes and animals. She has been teaching and creating art in Spokane for over 15 years, painting with bright colors and expressive lines. The main subject matter is planned, but everything else is intuitive: abstract blocks of color, tangled plants, a landscape disintegrating into the abstract. Katie wants her art to be wild and invigorating; to look as spontaneous and joyful as it feels when she creates it.

In her own words, “My paintings explore storytelling through animals and their environment. I am continuously trying to expand, examine and capture my relationship to wildlife and their habitat; to create an open door for viewers to engage with the elements.”

Stop by the Liberty Gallery on First Friday Nov 7th from 5-8:30 to meet the artist and view Katie's beautiful paintings!

"Body of Work" is a collaborative exhibition by tattoo artists Sarah Mortier and Christina Villagomez that reimagines the traditional canvas of tattooing—the human body—through sculptural and object-based forms. By "tattooing" lifelike silicone skins, mannequin parts, and functional objects, the artists invite viewers to reconsider tattooing as both a deeply personal practice and a globally significant art form. Together, their works challenge perceptions of objectification, artistry, and permanence, positioning tattooing not just as body adornment, but as a living, evolving expression of human creativity.

Opening Reception: Nov 7th, 5-8pm
Show Dates: Nov 7th - Nov 29th

Terrain Gallery Hours: Thursday-Saturday 4PM-7PM
