Community Calendar

Every fourth Wednesday a group of people converge in an appropriate setting. This diverse group of creative individuals share a love of education, and are here to promote their skills, to educate, and to socialize.
Visit! You won't be pressure to become a member, but will have the opportunity to do so.
Ignore the old people in the photo. The younger members were appalled and hid.

ALL ARTISTS in Spokane and the surrounding areas are invited to attend the April 22nd meeting of the River Ridge Association of Fine Arts as a guest. You will meet other artists, hear an educational presentation (after all the business stuff is taken care of!), and learn of the opportunities RRAFA offers to its members. You will be invited (but not pressured) to become a member to take advantage of the showing and learning activities RRAFA offers. Dues are only $30 a year.
We meet on the 4th Wednesday of every month at Spokane Art Supply.

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. 

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!

Visual Dialogue features Abstract Artwork & Sculpture created by some of our favorite Spokane Community Artists. The abstract art experience invites viewers to free their minds, allowing their emotional intelligence to guide or communicate a feeling or thought about certain images presented in a painting, drawing or sculpture.
This show will run through Saturday, April 25th.
Regular gallery hours are Wednesdays - Saturdays, 11am -5pm.

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.
