In November, D2 Gallery is presenting our new exhibit "Glimmers", featuring the work of Karen Mobley. This exhibits reflects on the glimpses of the spiritual, the magical, the positive in a time of sadness and conflict. These are works that show what is seen through the cracks in the window, the gap in the door, the quick glimpse across the yard or out of the car window. "Glimmers" opens on First Friday, November 7th, and runs until November 29th.

We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? How often do we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing? From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.

In a city not so far from here, a severe water shortage creates a need to control access to toilet facilities. But an unregulated private sector breeds a greedy CEO who provides the wrong answer to the right question: how do we ensure every citizen has the right to pee? Join Gonzaga Theatre, Gonzaga Dance, and Gonzaga Music in our semi-annual collaborative event, showcasing our performing arts students and engaging with socially relevant questions in the three-time Tony Award-winning musical.

Did you participate in the First Friday Art Walk but not ready to go home? Are you tired of going to the bar?

Late Laughs is your monthly dose of experimental improv and comedy, happening every First Friday at 9:30 PM. Each show features a rotating lineup of performers from independent troupes to new voices trying something bold and unpredictable. These are not your typical Blue Door shows. Each 20-minute set is a chance for groups to push boundaries, test new formats, and take creative risks… all in front of a late-night crowd that is ready for anything.

Whether you are a night owl looking for laughs or just want something different to do downtown, Late Laughs is your alternative to the usual Friday night.

Tickets just $6.

Come curious. Leave laughing.

Sasha Barrett was born and raised in Sumy, Ukraine, where he spent half of his childhood. He has been a resident artist at various clay studios across the country, as well as completing his MFA from the University of Montana in 2025. He states, “This exhibition is a portrayal of the last three-plus years of war on the soil of my homeland. Whether through the tactile properties of clay sculpture, the direct information delivery of documentary film, or actual artifacts and objects from the war, I hope this presentation of artwork leaves you with compassion and a deeper understanding of what Ukraine is fighting for.”

Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art is pleased to present the exhibition Conservation of Mass October 2 through November 13, 2025. This exhibition features ceramic and sculptural works by Spokane, WA based artist Tybre Newcomer. An opening reception and lecture by the artist will be held on Thursday, October 2nd at Noon.
