Steve Belzman Memorial Mural Dedication

Please join Avenue West Gallery for the dedication of our new Memorial Mural honoring  Steve Belzman, longtime contributing member of our gallery. He had such a positive influence on all our member artists and on the Spokane art scene, it is fitting that the mural dedicated to him covers a large portion of our exterior gallery wall.  Painted by local artist Aaron Smith, who is well known for his local urban murals, the mural depicts a lively kayaker racing down the Spokane River.  Funding was provided by a SAGA grant and private donations.

I have always been a storyteller. Flashback to 6th grade, I’m equipped with a camcorder I received for Christmas recording home videos of my family and friends. Throughout the years that followed I was constantly documenting the lives of those closest to me, without any conscious awareness that I was doing so. I truly see every moment as a possible story, and live my life to gather as many stories as possible. In recent years, I took a more direct approach and have managed to make a business out of it.
