Community Calendar

Join us Wed. April 8th at 9:00 am at The Well-Read Moose for our Morning Book Club! This month we will be discussing “Pony Confidential” by Christina Lynch.

This is a free event and all are welcome! Stop by The Well-Read Moose or visit our website today to get your own copy of “Pony Confidential.”

Sponsored by River Ridge Association of Fine Arts, Pennie Woods will have her whimsical painting on display and for sale at the Garland Sandwich Shoppe located on Madison across from the Garland Theater. Pennie's art is colorful, captivating, and affordable. Stop in to see! And have a sandwich! The Garland Sandwich Shoppe is open Monday through Friday, 10 am to 4 pm.

This April Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present the resin art of Karen Vollmer-Poseley and the sculpted wool of Mia Simonsen.

Karen finds the magic of the resin art form is in the process of watching each piece become unique in the final form ~ no two pieces are alike!

Mia's "Owl Song Feltery" creates botanicals out of wool ~ cactus and succulents were her first botanicals of choice, and more recently mushrooms and other fungi.

Karen's resin art and Mia's needle felting allows them to design botanicals year-round. Stop by PPP in April to view their "botanical art" ~ stop by PPP in the historic Liberty Building on First Friday April 3rd from 5-8pm to meet the artists!

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!

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. 

Visual Dialogue features 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.
This show will run through Saturday, April 25th.
Regular gallery hours are Wednesdays - Saturdays, 11am -5pm.
