Gayle Havercroft is displaying his unique block printing pieces at Indaba Coffee Shop through April and May. He's been perfecting his skills since 2001 and especially enjoys using the Palouse as inspiration for many of his works. Gayle began adding watercolor to the block prints a few years ago. You won't want to miss seeing these.
Come for the art! Stay for the coffee!

Support local pets and win big over Spring Break, April 3rd-12th! Join Pet Savers at River Park Square (2nd Level) for $1 raffle tickets and a chance to take home a custom dog or cat house. 5 local high-school shop classes are showcasing houses along with local architects, deck companies and more. Not a pet owner? No problem, we’re also raffling Gonzaga men’s/women’s tickets, signed basketballs, and even $500 cash. Every ticket helps fund low-cost spay/neuter and vaccine services that save animal lives right here in our community. Come by, have fun, and make a difference!

From small fleeting moments to a conscientious way of life, Joy is the thread that holds our lives together. More than just the silver lining we see on the edge of clouds, joy helps us find meaning, purpose, and the courage to take the next step.

Interpretations of Joy are represented in different forms of printmaking, such as intaglio and relief printing, from linoleum, wood carving, and letterpress printing by members of the Spokane Print & Publishing Center.

You can view the show this April in the Liberty Gallery (above Aunties Bookstore) ~ stop by on First Friday April 3rd from 5-8pm to meet the artists!

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.
