This exhibition at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane gathers four decades of the prolific artist’s prints, glass, weaving, and ceramics in the largest and most comprehensive showing of his career to date. From miniatures to wall-sized installations, the exhibition features more than 120 works. Note: the museum is closed Mondays and holidays.

With pieces from over 80 artists, you are sure to find the perfect piece at The Art Spirit Gallery.

In December 2024, the Liberty Gallery features local Spokane artist Adam Blalock. As a youth, Adam explored the creeks and forests near his home along Latah Creek. He was voted "most artistic" in high school, but became intrigued with plant growth and development, which led to pursuing plant science degrees in college. His life changed and his enthusiasm for art reinvigorated after a trip to England and a walk through an old arboretum.

Adam’s preferred subject matter is landscapes. He paints the long views at times when the lighting is the most luminous, capturing the bright glow and deep shadows of mornings and evenings. He invites one to enter his paintings, feel the cool of the shadows, squint at the setting sun, and bask in the sultry heat of a summer day. His art is truly an appreciation of the natural world in all its innocent glory.

Stop by the gallery in the Historic Liberty Building for the First Friday Reception on Dec 6th ~ you can meet the artist from 5-8:30 pm.

Pottery Place Plus is pleased to welcome Nicole Nutt Thomas as our Guest Artist during the month of December. Nichole is a mixed media artist who blends the art of embroidery with the vibrant world of painting. Her creations are a celebration of the natural world, with a particular focus on flowers. Flowers, like life itself, undergo cycles of growth, transformation, and eventual blossoming. Nicole finds deep inspiration in these parallels to the human experience. The use of embroidery, with its tactile texture and depth, is an added medium she uses to bring her floral visions to life. Come by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building during Dec to see Nicole's inspiring work ~ stop by on Dec 6th for the First Friday Reception to meet Nicole in person, from 5-8:30 pm.
