We have some great work. Have you seen what Lance did to the pieces this past week?

You wouldn’t think it’s possible.

We have just sat there and wondered. And then it gave us some time to ponder, and think of what we would have done.

Come on by to see.

This week, we have folks in the space, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

A full week!

And it’s going to be dandy.

What do you think Lance is doing?

What do you think they are doing in there?

Installing?

What do they have in mind?

We have to wonder at the boxes, and the packing.

Just not you standard packing.

Wondering as Friday nears.

Have you been by?

Oh, please do. We hate to sound this way, but it is a delightful show.

Everything is so nice. And it’s warm out.

Nice day for a stroll. It is a grand street to stroll on, anytime.

Sitting Schedule this week!

Post-Industrial Spokane Pelt

We have some wonderful work in the space this month. But it’s only for this week, and then we have new folks coming into the space.

You have to see this work!

You do, you do!

Who is here to say hello, and answer questions?

Thursday: Larry Ellingson (back from a trip to the end of the universe, ask what that was like)

Friday: Lisa Nappa (noon to 4 pm), then Jeff Huston (4 to 8pm)

Saturday: Nancy Hathaway (noon to 4), and then Jon Faulks [one of our newest members] from 4 to 8pm.

Come On By! We’d love to visit and ponder the work with you.

Coming up this week: MAC/SFCC visting artist lecture

saranacartprojects — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 04:31:37 +0000

Check out the visiting artist lecture at the MAC tomorrow, and SFCC Friday morning.

We are going to these, and we think this will be fascinating. Green building at its best.

You know the small cottage on Hayden Lake, with the glass garage doors that swing up and open? The Mobile/roving cottages in the Methow Valley?

This is your guy!

MAC @ 6:30

We are looking for some great work.

Karen Moves On!

We saw this article in the paper this morning.

http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2013/apr/05/arts-director-mobley-steps-down/

We are a little stunned, but not surprised. It has been a long time since we all felt the arts stood proud in Spokane. We have loved the work Karen has been doing with the city over the past 15 years. We were very sad, if not angry, to know she was not going to remain in the city structure and her City budget supported position.

Karen has been a hub of connection for all the creative fields in Spokane. Not just the visual arts, and definitely not just public art. The current show at the Chase gallery is one example of her work: a collaboration between visual and literary artists, and between mature and young creatives. Karen knew the broad range of artists in this community. Karen stunned us as she described best wood carver in Spokane, who is also homeless and living in a camp. Some of us have been in meetings with theater, symphony, jazz, pop, hip-hop musicians, ballet choreographers and performers, a couple visual artists, a couple owners and managers of fabricating companies, foundries, lighting specialists, the opera house, novelists, and then the painters and neon folks, and film producers, and have watched in awe as Karen steers the discussion to coordinating a project.

Yet, this is another step as Spokane and our creative community continues its re-boot cycle.

Some of us are going to re-visit the podcast of our symposium on the state of the arts in Spokane that Scott Kolbo organized.

Remember that? Remember him? Remember when the museum had an arts curator? Remember, remember?

Maybe we are just waxing nostalgic (so Spokane) about what is passing as Karen returns to her studio. We love the studio, and welcome her to keep working. But we also love what she has helped make here.
