Community Calendar

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!

“WOVEN HERITAGE” brings together paintings by Red Matthews and Erin Lang alongside the woven fiber works of Kimber Follevaag.
The exhibition considers how personal, cultural, and family histories are not static artifacts, but living guides that continue to resonate as we move through our current lives. Each artist engages that inheritance differently — intentionally or spontaneously — and the works on view trace how the messages and meanings of personal heritage continue to speak through paintbrush, fiber, and the presentation of the finished work.

An opening artist reception will take place on Spokane’s First Friday, September 4, from 4 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will run from Sept 4 - 26, 2026. Gallery Hours are WED - SAT, 11am - 6pm

Functional Art is the theme of September's First Friday Show, "HANDS - CELEBRATING THE MAKERS". This exhibit honors the rediscovery and appreciation of how art, in it's aesthetic & visually pleasing form, can be creative yet useful; can impart beauty and practicality, merging artistry with the function of our daily routines. Come meet the artists, bring a friend or two, and join us in this celebration of one of the oldest forms of art. 

FIRST FRIDAY - September 4th, 5 - 9PM   This show runs through Sept. 30th.  Regular Hours - Wednesday - Saturday, 11-5pm

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.

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.
