IMMERSE YOURSELF
in all things
at the

art

Artist Corner!

Browse, shop, and create with a variety of local,

Spokane artists. Children and adults welcome
to “Create a Masterpiece” on Saturday, Sept. 24,
where we invite you to be inspired and get creative
on a 5 x 7 canvas of your own for only $5. Come by
the Artist Corner on Sunday, Sept. 25 to witness
Valleyfest’s first ever “ProAm,” where professional artists collaborate with amateurs to create a
one-of-a-kind piece of art. The final product will
be auctioned off after 3 p.m. In the meantime,
browse and shop around the booths and Galleria,
which feature many different pieces from various
professional artists. Don’t want to lug your newly
purchased art piece around Valleyfest? Drop it off
at the Artist Corner’s “Concierge Service” located in the Galleria, and schedule to pick it up at a
more convenient time for you! The Artist Corner
is proudly sponsored by the Spokane Valley Arts
Council. The Galleria is brought to you by Spokane Gallery. The “ProAm” is sponsored by Art
Chowder Magazine. Proceeds from the “Paint
and Take” as well as the “ProAm” will go toward
making Valleyfest 2017 possible.
Another booth features arts and crafts for children,
where kids can make and take home their own
craft creation! This booth is staffed by volunteers
from East Valley School District.

What would a festival be without music?

There are three different stages that house a variety of entertainment throughout the entire Valleyfest weekend: the Family Stage,
Meadow Festival Stage, and CenterPlace Patio Stage. John
Roberts Y Pan Blanco performs on the Meadow Festival Stage
on Saturday at 2:30! They aim to share musical diversity with the
audience with vocals in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
