The Art Spirit Gallery exhibit “The Grace of Dexterity,” which ends Saturday, features four artists, and one of them is California native and current Billings resident Kelsey Bowen.

In solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, the Spokane Poetry Slam will be hosting their monthly virtual slam on June 18 with a few vital changes. Though the performances will be open to all for viewing, the sign-up sheet will only be open to Black poets and creators.

With an extended date of quarantine release set for May 4, Spokane artists are facing an unprecedented challenge with one simple solution: You. Ginger Ewing, co-founder and executive director of Terrain, said things have changed drastically for the creative community in the last month “to say the least.”

As events are canceled and people practice social distancing, the regular ways of supporting Spokane artists are disappearing for now. Although we won’t be able to pop into the From Here store in River Park Square, or slip spare change into the vending machines at Lucky You or Garageland, there are still plenty of surprisingly creative ways to support our favorite local artists.
