Siemers Farm on Green Bluff is having their annual Fall Festival, where there's fun for all. We're not like most pumpkin patches! You'll find FREE parking complete with crossing guards; and a day FULL of activities. There are surprises around every corner along with free line dancing lessons, interactive shows plus catch pirate and princess characters around the farm. We're home to Washington State's first and oldest funning corn and hedge mazes that lead to the 3-story castle, and the train tour around the farm is a staple here. Little ones enjoy the life-size pirate ship playground and Little Toot bucket ride. In the pumpkin patch you'll find delights that will make you smile such as "town" themed destinations to explore with games, tractors, and family photo stations! See a full list of our activities on our social media (FB & IG). For all of this and more, we require an entry fee during October weekends. September festival dates are free entry and FUN Wristband is optional. Come make a day of it, you absolutely will not be disappointed.

The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present works on paper by Richard Kenton Webb. Please visit the exhibit between Sept. 15 and Oct. 29, 2026, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or at one of the following events:

Opening reception: Sept. 22, 4:30-5:30 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts
Artist’s lecture: Sept. 22, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts, Room 102

This exhibit features three suites of works on paper spanning seven years. The linocuts form part of a larger conversation with John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost. This body of work led to a commission from The Milton Society of America to respond to John Milton’s poem Lycidas. Finally, Webb took up the prestigious artist in residency at the Joseph and Annie Albers Foundation where he completed a series of 72 drawings, the start of his Manifesto of Painting. This is a small selection of that set of work.

Gallery hours: Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Closed on official university holidays.

Barbara Anderson & Patty Driscoll both work in soft pastels and often choose similar subject matter for their pieces. Friends for close to thirty years, creative souls and art lovers, they decided to embark on a creative journey after raising their families. Their very first pastel class was at a local art school, and they were the only adults in the class. But they were hooked! They traveled and learned together with many professional artists which put them on the right track. In 2024, they were thrilled to have been offered a sixth month residency at the Hive, where sharing a studio allowed the experimentation, collaboration and creation of this body of work.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Sept to see their work ~ come by on First Friday Sept 4th from 5-8pm to meet them in person!

In the month of September the members of River Ridge Association of Fine Art (RRAFA) explore the theme of Water. To an artist water is fascinating and can be difficult to paint. The artists in the show have used many ideas, different medium and sizes, traditional styles to abstract, up close or far away for viewers to contemplate. Whatever emotion the art evokes, wistful, happy, contemplative and more, this is a show you will enjoy!

And don't forget to come by the Historic Liberty Building on First Friday Sept 4 from 5-8 pm to meet the artists in person!

The work presented in this show consists of
primarily still life and constructed reality imagery. My hope is that these images evoke both an
emotional response and intellectual connection on some level, while leaving room for the viewer
to explore personal narrative and find their own individual meaning or interpretation. My
process generally consists of some style of light painting in capture and composite in post. I use
light as my paintbrush and the computer as a canvas to construct and manipulate what I
physically see into what I see in my mind’s eye; to explore without boundaries.
