Get ready for a night of music, laughter, and impact at Dueling Pianos for a Purpose - benefiting the Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Coalition.

This interactive, high-energy show will have you singing, dancing, and bidding to hear your favorite songs - all while supporting critical programs that bring safety, advocacy, and hope to survivors in our community.

Enjoy great food and drinks as two talented pianists battle it out to win your applause.

Join us for this unforgettable piano showdown on Friday, February 6th, at 5:00pm at Ella’s Theater in the Montvale Event Center.

Let’s strike a powerful chord for change - together!

Custer's Grass Band, Olivia Brownlee and Kat Bula.

The schedule is jamming from 4-6 (door opens at 4 pm), finger food potluck at 6, and concert at 6:30.
It's relatively easy to access it from the Maple Street exit on I-90. It's located at 4340 Whistalks Way, just below Spokane Falls Community College, and just up from Government Way... It has ample parking...
We will offer the same low ticket prices of $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers for the 2025-6 season. (This applies for the jam and/or the concert) Yearly membership is still $25 per family, and children are free... Please note we can not process credit cards--cash or check only.

Please no food or drinks in the seating area. There is an area to sit and eat with a view of the concert between the concert area and jamming room. The bands donate their performances, and we will continue the tip jar to help them defray their expenses...

Join us for a hilarious adventure at the Blue Door Theatre! Expedition is a fast, family-friendly improv comedy show where audience ideas fuel wild games, bold characters, and unexpected twists. Every show is made up on the spot—and no two journeys are ever the same.

The Spokane String Quartet opens the 2026 portion of its season with three composers examining change in their lives. Haydn in 1799 was working on his last string quartet, the same year that Beethoven was working on his first. Both were commissioned by the same patron, and Haydn’s later work is often compared to Beethoven’s earliest. Bartok was starting his career when he wrote his first quartet in the early 1900s. And Schumann wrote his first quartet in 1842, an intense time known as his “year of chamber music.”

The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by painter by Kelly Packer. Please visit the exhibit between Feb. 3, and March 22, 2026.

"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.
