The Spokane Art School is a non-profit arts institution established in 1968. Our mission is to teach Spokane to make and enjoy art. The Spokane Art School (SAS) is committed to fostering diverse, equitable, and intentional inclusivity in all aspects of our work to fulfill our mission, “Teaching Spokane to make and enjoy art.” We start from the assumption that everyone belongs and that we all benefit most when we learn from and with each other. The school creates opportunities for each person to explore their own beliefs, values, and cultures so that, as a community, we can fully embrace the experience, ideas, perspectives, and traditions of all who come to learn and create here. We collaborate to make a space where persons from all identities, backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences are embraced, validated, and supported.

ArtsWA’s Public Artist Roster
The Art in Public Places program (AIPP) is working to make the 2021-2025 Public Artist Roster our most inclusive and equitable ever. We seek a diverse range of artists to create artworks for state agencies, colleges, universities, and public schools throughout Washington state.
The Roster is our main tool for choosing artists. It is a list of artists who pre-qualify to create artworks through our program. It allows for a simplified selection process.
The current roster term began in 2021 and ends in 2025. We are opening the roster for new applications midterm. This is so that artists who were either ineligible, unsuccessful, or unaware of the roster call in 2021, have another chance to apply to the current roster. Artists currently on the roster do not need to re-apply.
