Please join us on Friday, April 3rd, from 5 to 8, for the opening of "Cry Baby", an innovative and thought provoking new exhibit by Missoula artist Elisha Harteis. Elisha work, which focuses on depictions of children and animals, is both deeply engaging and unsettling, juxtaposing the quiet brutality of child abuse against the perceived, inherent innocence of children. This is going to be a significantly engaging exhibit by a wildly inventive and deeply perceptive artist. "Cry Baby" runs through the end of the month. D2 Gallery, 310 W. First Ave., Spokane, WA 99201

April 3- 24, W-F, 11-5. Opening reception April 3, 5-8pm and Saturday April 4, 12-4pm.

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. 

Our First Friday Opening will feature 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. Come meet the artists, bring a friend and enjoy light appetizers and beverages.
This show will run through Saturday, April 25th.
Regular gallery hours are Wednesdays - Saturdays, 11am -5pm.

Restless young Tom Wingfield is torn between duty to family and his desire for a bigger life. His overbearing but loving mother, Amanda, clings to memories of her genteel past as a Southern belle. His sister Laura is painfully shy and finds comfort in her delicate collection of glass figurines. The family’s hopes begin to rise when Amanda urges Tom to bring home a gentleman caller for Laura, but reality can be more fragile than dreams.

By Tennessee Williams, one of the greatest 20th century American playwrights, THE GLASS MENAGERIE, an intimate and beautiful story about family, dreams and the weight of the past, resonates across generations with deeply relatable characters and emotions.

For the first time ever, we’re presenting a full weekend of workshop performances. Join us April 2–5 at the Blue Door Theatre and be part of the creative process as a bold new script takes shape.

Each performance will be followed by a talkback with the playwright, director, and cast.

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!
