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

"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.

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 collection of abstract photographs by Gay Waldman was captured during her beach visits along the coasts of CA, OR & WA, images of nature’s compositions of line, form, and shape that emerge everyday along the Pacific Ocean.

As Gay said, "My hope is that when you wander thru these beach abstracts, you can share my wonder for natural curiosities and you might also be reminded of salt air and the sound of the rolling waves."

Stop by the Liberty Gallery in the Historic Liberty Building this March to see Gay's photos ~ stop by First Friday on March 6th to meet Gay in person from 5-8pm.

Nicole Mowbray is a Spokane ceramicist dedicated to transforming the raw beauty of earth into functional art. Her work showcases textured clay bodies, earthy tones, and merges form & function in a way that celebrates our natural world.

Cynthia Smutny is a jeweler whose bold geometric lines and expressive qualities of organic shapes form the heart of her work. Working primarily in silver, copper, brass, enamel, and natural stones allows Cynthia to explore contrast in both structure and surface.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this March to see Nicole's pottery & Cynthia's jewelry ~ stop by First Friday on March 6th to meet them in person from 5-8pm.

A musical comedy play, the Addams Family Musical performed by the Drama Dept students at Mt Spokane High School. Very fun!

Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon, conceived by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie. Over three decades after the duo’s final collaboration, The Sound of Music, took Broadway by storm, this new R&H musical opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices and earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein may never have imagined “Shall We Dance?” as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor might they have suspected that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question, “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” But that’s precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this new revue, with innovative musical arrangements, including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” a swingin’ “Honeybun” worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy “Kansas City,” proving how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
