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.

Duo exhibition featuring painter E.L. Stewart and woodturner Connor Kelly. Stewart’s A Little Bit of Both, Not Enough of Either explores color, contrast, shape, and playful tension through layered paintings. Kelly’s wood-turned vessels highlight the natural beauty, grain, and character of wood through carefully crafted forms. Together, their work creates a dynamic dialogue between paint and wood, surface and form, and experimentation and precision.

Join us at ConnectDinners for a weekly gathering that feels more like a family meal than a typical church service. Enjoy a free dinner while connecting with neighbors and exploring faith in a warm, open environment. No RSVP is needed—simply pull up a chair because there is always room at the table for you.

Integrating drawing and painting with the craft of crochet, Jo Hamilton creates figurative art with post-consumer materials. Weaving these disparate languages together, she acknowledges the hand-labor of generations of women as well as the culture of contemporary art. The resulting fabric is a net that filters and transforms traditionally dominate gender stereotypes and fine art genres.
