Leela Francis Artist; Wahaka Walls & Windows
This new series by local acrylic mixed media painter Leela Francis features the artist’s fascination with the rich cultural heritage that thrives in Oaxaca City, Mexico where she spent time last Spring. “Living most of my life in more rural settings where nature is my muse, I was smitten by the interplay of textures and patterns abounding in this vibrant city so central to Mexican history. Truly an enchanting visual backdrop to the politically activist local culture there, juxtaposed against a powerful historical presence of zapotec tradition”.
Tim Lord: By Book or By Hook
Tim Lord has created delightful three-dimensional sculptures using recycled books – many of them collector editions that have been stuffed away in some dusty junk store or a box of old books in a garage sale or basements where the next stop was the landfill. It’s not the first time that Lord has hunted down and gathered forgotten old books and it won’t be the last. For the last thirteen years, Lord has gathered and preserved books which eventually allowed him to create over 200 sculptures for his show entitled: “By Book or By Hook.”
The sculptures will be in the gallery from October 6th through October 29thth.
Stop in and judge a book by its cover!
Where do I Draw the Line? – Joseph Tomlinson
Artist reception: Friday, October 6, 2023

Live Music by Larry Ellingson
This show is a work in progress that highlights current work and a representation of what I do while
traveling. My job has me traveling around the country. When I do, I have a tendency to leave art
everywhere I go. Napkins, barf bags, outlet covers, bottom of a drawers, Styrofoam cups, etc. become
the canvas for me to leave something behind. When not on the “road” I leave little art trinkets in public
spaces — art-n-seek with clues on Instagram (jorotom) to assist in their location. There is a high
likelihood that something is hidden nearby…
Dracula | Spokane Civic Theatre
Kate Hamill boldly reimagines Bram Stoker’s classic tale of vampires and finds new monsters just beneath the skin. The gothic tropes of villains who wear evil on their sleeve and damsels in distress are replaced by all-too-human monsters and ferocious women who stab at the heart of the patriarchy itself.
