Hailed by The New York Times as "the most important piece of political theatre of the last decade" upon its premiere in 1996, The Vagina Monologues emerged from playwright V's interviews with more than 200 women. First performed as a solo piece, the work has now grown to a global phenomenon and is performed all over the world to call for an end to violence against women and girls, and to celebrate and unpack the female experience. A portion of this production's proceeds go to benefit Spokane YWCA.

The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by painter by Kelly Packer. Please visit the exhibit between Feb. 3, and March 22, 2026.

"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.

Sheri Medford's creative process shifts between portrait & figurative painting, and designing "soft sculpture" animals. Primarily a mixed-media artist she is fascinated by the human form and tries to capture moments in the lives of the people she paints.

Sheri also enjoys designing and creating soft sculpture animals, and recently has begun turning 2D images into 3D soft sculptures. More than "stuffed animals" for toys, they are one-of-a-kind designs sewn by hand.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Feb to see Sheri's original work ~ come by First Friday on Feb 6th to meet Sheri in person!

Prints are a budget-friendly way to collect art, and today’s printing techniques ensure their quality. We have invited community artists to submit one to four ready-to-hang prints for wall display, with additional prints in paper sleeves. Stop in for our artist reception and check out what is new in our collection. The show opens on First Friday and runs through February 28th

On Foot is an exhibition of paintings created from observations made while walking through Spokane. Walking is not only my primary form of transportation, but also a central part of my artistic practice. The title, On Foot, refers directly to the way I have come to know and see this city, step by step, through slow attention to its details.
These works explore life and the beauty of fleeting moments through the lens of shadows, architecture, and the seemingly mundane objects people leave behind. I am drawn to the overlooked: an abandoned chair, a light glowing in a window, a car waiting in silence. Each of these details carries traces of human presence and possibility.
My meditative walks and the visual documents they inspire are a way of grappling with the vastness of human experience. There is a weight to the large amount of lives and stories being lived out around me that I will never fully know. By celebrating the beauty of the spaces people inhabit and interact with, I aim to honor them in a small way.
