Gayle Havercroft is displaying his unique block printing pieces at Indaba Coffee Shop through April and May. He's been perfecting his skills since 2001 and especially enjoys using the Palouse as inspiration for many of his works. Gayle began adding watercolor to the block prints a few years ago. You won't want to miss seeing these.
Come for the art! Stay for the coffee!

Turnbull NWR and The Lands Council are excited to announce Earth Fest 2026.

Join us for an unforgettable morning of hands-on environmental action! Volunteers will have the chance to pot trees in our nursery, remove old fences, and participate in a forestry project, all to help preserve the beauty of this special place. When the work is done, tour a pop-up vendor fair featuring over 20 of the region's outdoor and environmental organizations, nonprofits, and agencies!

There will be several information and educational booths from partners such as Spokane Audubon, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Washington State Parks, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and more!

The event will conclude with a guided hike by special keynote presentation by local author and naturalist Jack Nisbet.

A lunch of burgers and hot dogs is generously being provided by the Friends of Turnbull NWR.

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. 

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!
