This April Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present the resin art of Karen Vollmer-Poseley and the sculpted wool of Mia Simonsen.

Karen finds the magic of the resin art form is in the process of watching each piece become unique in the final form ~ no two pieces are alike!

Mia's "Owl Song Feltery" creates botanicals out of wool ~ cactus and succulents were her first botanicals of choice, and more recently mushrooms and other fungi.

Karen's resin art and Mia's needle felting allows them to design botanicals year-round. Stop by PPP in April to view their "botanical art" ~ stop by PPP in the historic Liberty Building on First Friday April 3rd from 5-8pm to meet the artists!

We exist in a moment of over-stimulation and information saturation, a moment where a short descriptive paragraph can create a beautiful, sparkling image for us, but then be quickly forgotten and dissolved back into the ether of the internet. These bits of data are reassembled into images or video, which can be visually interesting, but a bit disconcerting at times. This work is a playful way to make commentary on the serious questions about AI art. Using very simple pre-programmed vacuuming/mopping robots with some minimal modifications I wrangle the robots to produce something visually interesting. The catch is, just like AI, these robots cannot do it on their own. They need input and a lot of help from a person to make the art. 

Experience a special intergenerational concert celebrating the powerful connection between music, memory, and community. Inspired by musical memories shared by library patrons, this unique performance blends live music and guided singalongs designed especially to uplift and connect people across generations, including those living with dementia. The program is presented in partnership with Spokane Symphony, Spokane Public Library, and Song Trees, a UK nonprofit initiative of the Music Mind Spirit Trust.

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone’s favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece… and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

One of Sondheim’s most popular works, Into the Woods is a musically sophisticated show with the opportunity to feature actors adept at dark comedy. Designers will especially enjoy highlighting the fantastical elements of this magical word.

Out of grief came this greatest expression of love and remembrance. Susie Forest Project has grown from a few trees planted at Spokane Public Library to hundreds of them planted around the world. Today, we will dedicate one more tree, which will be planted at Shadle Park Library.
Levi Horn, a registered northern Cheyanne tribe member, former NFL player, and former Salish School board member, will conduct a native blessing ceremony for the tree before it is planted. The ceremony will include drumming and singing by Salish school children. It is interactive and inclusive. You will have the opportunity to be part of the blessing if you so choose.

This program is part Song Trees Concert, an intergenerational concert blending live music and singalongs to celebrate memory and community. Stay after the tree blessing for a musical instrument "petting zoo!"
