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.

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.

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.

Prophet’s Thumbprint is a solo exhibition by painter Red Matthews, on view at Saranac Art Projects from March 6 through March 28th, 2026. The exhibition presents a new body of oil paintings that revisit the iconography of the American West through moments of quiet intimacy and emotional restraint.

Red Matthews’ work reexamines the visual language of Americana through scenes that blur myth and lived experience. His paintings distill nostalgia, labor, and longing into compositions that feel at once familiar and quietly unsettled, shifting focus away from spectacle and toward interior, human moments.

They’re back! The Rogue Detection Team of highly trained search dog and wildlife professional handlers are arriving in Newport to present another entertaining event. Wildlife Biologist Collette Yee from Rice, Washington will explain how she and her dog find rare or elusive animals and plants in exotic places.

This free-to-the-public event is sponsored by Selkirk Alliance for Science and takes place on March 14, 2026, 2:00 P.M., at the Create Arts & Community Center, 900 W. 4th in Newport. All ages are welcome to attend.

Collette will describe and demonstrate their process to adopt, train, and care for dogs that were abandoned to an animal shelter. RDT partnerships have traveled around the world to find animal scats, pellets, eggs or larvae, carcasses, nests, and dens even when below-ground. A wide variety of target animals have included cheetahs, orca whales, bumblebees, and spotted owls.

Their time in the field is difficult on handler and dog, and searches often extend to many consecutive days. Strenuous bushwhacking and backpacking are usually required, so dog handlers are trained to provide medical care for human or canine emergencies of the unexpected kind.

This presentation is supported by a grant from the Kalispel Tribe Charitable Fund, and by the Kalispel Natural Resources Department, Responsible Growth Northeast Washington, and Create Arts Center. One audience member will be randomly chosen to receive a free science pocket guide.

"Sacred Stories" brings together artists Uziel Gonzalez and Sarah Windisch in a shared exploration of identity, heritage, and the humanity woven through cultural expression.

Through woodblock and screenprint portraits, Gonzalez amplifies the voices of Spokane’s Latino community stories of migration, sacrifice, and enduring pride. His work reveals the individuals behind these narratives, inviting viewers to see their strength and dignity.

Windisch’s mixed media series, inspired by Mexican folk art and the symbolism of sacred hearts, transforms everyday imagery into icons of faith, love, and resilience.

Together, their works honor the beauty and complexity of lived experience—where devotion, identity, and storytelling intersect.
