REGIONAL REPORT
SPOKANE VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL
After twelve Artist Showcase
Art Auctions and with help
from the City of Spokane
Valley through their grant
programs, six more bronzes
have been purchased.
Currently we have three more
bronzes in production that
have been paid for.
The city and its citizenry are enjoying our art leadership without having to fund
a department dedicated to art in its many forms. Three bronzes are currently
installed in the space around the new city hall. Another bronze, located on the
grounds at CenterPlace Regional Event Center, is named Dance of the Sun and
Moon. A bronze by sculptor Bob Wilfong will be placed in the newly-designed
space next to CenterPlace. SVAC also maintains a 22 to 25-piece art exhibit
on display in the lobby at CenterPlace. The exhibit changes periodically, and
includes both living and deceased artists.
The remaining bronzes, currently in storage, will be located at Balfour Park
and other city park locations.
The Fourteenth Artist Showcase Art Auction is scheduled for October 10,
2020. This great cultural and entertainment event is composed of dinner, a live
auction, a silent auction, and a quick draw where you can watch artists finish
work that will then be sold. All participants are full-time, nationally-known
artists who come from eleven states and Canada.
