Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition Tidal Loop February 17 through April 2, 2026. This exhibition features woven textile works by Chicago-based visual artist Meagan Smith and Seattle, WA-based visual artist Allyce Wood. An opening reception and lecture by Meagan and Allyce will be held on Tuesday, February 17th at Noon.

Tidal Loop brings together the woven practices of Meagan Smith and Allyce Wood, two artists whose work explores rhythm, perception, and the fluid intelligence of craft. Through handwoven and digitally informed textiles, Smith translates sensory experience, movement, and vibration into shimmering fields of color and pattern that echo the unseen forces shaping our environment. Wood’s weavings draw on the feminist history of craft, using looping forms, watery imagery, and layered structures to reflect interconnection, inheritance, and collective knowledge. Together, their works evoke cycles of motion and continuity, positioning weaving as both an embodied practice and a lens for understanding perception, time, and flow.

Reception: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 4:30-5:30 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts
Artist’s lecture: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Lied Center for the Visual Arts, Room 102

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.
