Community Calendar

As a Seattle youngster, Pierr Morgan spent a lot of time alone outdoors watching and drawing birds in his backyard. After decades of learning and practice, he followed and realized his dream of being a
children's book illustrator.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Oct to view Pierr's delightful work ... come by First Friday on Oct 2nd from 5-8pm to meet Pierr in person!

Mary Tevlin brings to the walls of Entropy Gallery a solo exhibition that celebrates texture, chroma, and illusion; served with a slice of linseed oil pie. The work is a crossing between hard edge geometry and color interaction, drawing upon untold hours of creative practice to the medium of oil painting.

Join us for First Friday at Spokane Art School on October 2, 4–7 PM, celebrating the opening of a duo exhibition featuring painter E.L. Stewart and woodturner Connor Kelly. Stewart’s A Little Bit of Both, Not Enough of Either explores color, contrast, shape, and playful tension through layered paintings. Kelly’s wood-turned vessels highlight the natural beauty, grain, and character of wood through carefully crafted forms. Together, their work creates a dynamic dialogue between paint and wood, surface and form, and experimentation and precision. Enjoy light snacks and beverages, with beer and wine available for purchase.

Always on the first Friday in October, Terrain is an annual, one-night-only, juried multimedia art and music event celebrating artists in the Spokane area. Featuring new works by 523 artists, and attracting thousands of attendees, it’s a celebration of new energy and fresh ideas from all over the artistic spectrum. From painting to poetry to interactive art and film, we try to showcase a little of everything that’s making the Inland Empire a more vibrant, cultural and beautiful place to live.

Please join us on First Friday, October 2nd, from 5 to 8, for the opening reception of Drunken Boxing, a compelling new exhibit of the mixed-media paintings, video and working notebooks of Blake Liliane Hellman. Drunken boxing is a discipline of deliberate imbalance. The fighter trains rigorously, then lets that training go. It is a method of practiced relaxation, a devious carelessness. A misstep is not weakness, it is process in disguise. That same tension between discipline and surrender runs through the paintings of Blake Liliane Hellman, whose work explores that moment when conscious control abates just long enough to disarm both artist and viewer. Drunken Boxing runs from October 2nd to October 30th, open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 5:30, Fridays and Saturdays 11 to 6

Get a first look at the show and the chance to meet the artists!

Museum and gallery directors, nonprofit arts organization founders, art teachers, and other local arts advocates have made a life of showcasing the art of others, while their own work is rarely seen. This exhibition challenges its participants to make new work, providing space to honor the creative talents that led them to these careers. It also highlights the breadth of our regional arts ecosystem, offering a chance to meet and connect with the stewards of our growing arts community. Prepare to experience a range of works in clay, mixed media sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography and more. Each participant's work is united in the theme that they don't make art to make a living, yet they are immersed in art and with artists every day, which is a unique perspective.

David Roon’s background in environmental science merges beautifully with his multi-media artwork, ceramics and printmaking, as he “explores the interface between humans and the global biosphere (particularly costal and marine ecosystems)”.  Through his commitment to conservation biology and his elegant conceptual artwork, Roon invites viewers to consider the meaning of “otherness” and the ecological threats facing our fragile environments. His travels around the world, sharing his knowledge and studying cultural traditions of art, is reflected in his artistic process. This is a show for all; art and science students, families and friends. Come meet the artist and enjoy light appetizers and refreshments.  

Participate in this year's Week Without Driving by riding your bike to Terrain 17, where volunteers from Spokane Reimagined will take good care of your ride while you enjoy the art.
