Join us for the opening reception of Symbiosis: The Living Language of the Inland Northwest is an art show that brings together three artists exploring the deep interconnections between humans and the natural world. Meet the artists and mingle!

From Lauren Adams’ large scale drawings of native conifers to Tricia Kleinot’s “Fruiting Bodies” series interweaving networks of fungi and lichen, and Joanna Shippam’s paintings that celebrate the natural world through abstract representation, “Symbiosis” invites viewers to see the Inland Northwest as a living system where every root, spore, and grain of soil speaks the language of balance, reciprocity, and wonder.

Ticket Cost: Free event; no ticket required
