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.

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.

My practice grows from the landscapes that raised me. Through fragmented, woven images, my work explores grief, reciprocity, and the impossibility of full repair. The Elements emerges from both personal and environmental upheavals, exploring the tension between us and the environment. We rely on natural forces, yet we continue to shape and strain them in return.

Please join the Gallery for this 3/6, First Friday, 5-8pm, Multi Media show, featuring reclaimed metal sculptural art created by our collective member, Karlene Schoedel. The show will also highlight work from other members and local artist consignors. Karlene's art has moved through many mediums; ceramics & jewelry, to this current work of found metal and mixed media. Her critical eye for composition, form and texture is evident in each piece she creates. Pieces of metal that may appear as "junk" to us, are full of potential for Karlene. From small works to large scale assemblages that can be displayed indoor or as outdoor sculpture, her artwork is sometimes humorous & whimsical, or of a more serious nature, sustainably made, and withstands the test of time. Please Note: This First Friday Show, 3/6, is from 5pm-8pm. Our regular gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturdays, 11-5pm. This show runs through Saturday, March 28th.
