REGIONAL REPORT
SPOKANE ARTS
orking with galleries and venues
throughout the city to co-host, Spokane
Arts crafted the series with the desire
to foster spaces for artists and creative
professionals to interact and learn from
each other. Each Meet Up focuses on
a different discussion topic, ranging
from “Social Media for Artists and
Performers” to “Valuing Your Work.”
Casual but intentional conversations
were encouraged by the use of “question
cards” that Spokane Arts creates for each
event and hands out to every attendee.
Each card contains a single question
pertaining to the evening’s topic, to be
used as a conversation starter and to
prompt discussion between creatives who
may not know each other yet.
When does the
environment most
influence your art?
“Traveling or spend-
ing time on the land
gathering foods places
me in environments
that plant endless
seeds of ideas for new
work. The results are
often lists and sketch-
es to take back to my
little studio.”
