Yuletide It’s back! For the first time in seven years — and since a big move this past spring from the Garland District to the U-District — Spokane Art School is hosting Yuletide, its juried, indoor holiday art market. A plethora of local artists are filling the first and second floors of the Art School’s new space with handcrafted, individually produced works in a variety of mediums. You’ll find ceramics, paintings, soap, ornaments, cards and more items to purchase for yourself or others this holiday season. Every purchase directly benefits the incredible local artists participating in the show like Liz Bishop, Sheila Evans, Linnea Tobias, Lou Lou Pink and many more. Expect to leave with a unique gift for someone special and a lot of love in your heart for our local art scene. Happy gifting!
Saranac Art Projects: 6 Saranac Art Projects is unique in that it’s a member-run organization, so its artists show their own work, but also design exhibitions to highlight the work of others, like for the upcoming show “6,” featuring six local and regional artists. Some guest artists, like Becky Busi and Grace Flott, have been residents at The Hive, while Jun Soo Oh (who also goes by Juno), and Eric Sanchez have both exhibited at Terrain. Jamie Nadherny, who exhibits as Lou Lou Pink, is an adjunct instructor at Gonzaga University and also works at Spokane Falls Community College, which is where Cozette Phillips is an instructor and the college’s art gallery director. Expect to see a wide range of media, technique and content on display at the SAP gallery, which is one of the few unrestricted venues in the region, ideal for up-and-coming artists to exhibit cutting edge work.
