COMMUNITY CONSIDER YOURSELF SPRUNG

There’s no denying spring is officially on; temperatures are up, and I saw a happy, fat robin the size of a lunchbox the other day. Another sure sign? More outdoor markets popping up to give local farmers and foodies reason to get together and swap pandemic stories. Spokane Parks & Recreation is launching a spring market at Riverfront Park’s Pavilion April 7, and you’ll find food trucks (a rotation of four or five different ones each week, including the likes of Tacos Camargo, Kona Ice and Swell Coffee) and vendors like Side Hustle Syrups, Bombshell Sweets and C.M. Boxer Soapworks selling all manner of goodies. After a year of anything but normal, it’s going to feel pretty good to wander an outdoor market again. — DAN NAILEN

Spring Market at the Pavilion • April 7-May 12, Wednesdays from 3-7 pm • Free • Riverfront Park • 507 N. Howard St. • riverfrontspokane.com

WORDS NEW PERSPECTIVES

Brew a hot pot of coffee and join Spokane FāVS for the April edition of “Coffee Talk,” its monthly community forum to reflect on faith and ethics. As the next installment falls on Easter weekend, it reflects the theme of holidays and their role in various faith communities. An expert panel features three guest speakers: the Rev. Katy Shedlock, Himani Agrawal and Brian Siebeking. Shedlock is a Methodist minister in Spokane who co-pastors two churches, Audubon UMC and Creator’s Table. Agrawal is the cultural coordinator and treasurer of Spokane Hindu Temple and Cultural Center and a Spokane FāVS board member. Siebeking is a professor in the Gonzaga Religious Studies Department, an Orthodox Christian and a scholar of Islam. Through diverse panelists, the event aims to extend beyond just Christian holidays to include those of a variety of belief systems.

VISUAL ARTS TIME TO REFLECT

A trio of local female artists are showcasing their unique artistry in a group show opening at Terrain Gallery as part of April’s First Friday events. Though their preferred media vary, from textile art to painting, featured works by Rosemary Barile, Karen Mobley and Deb Sheldon share a common thread, having all been created since the start of the pandemic. Barile summarizes sentiments shared among the trio in her artist statement: “Like most artists I have been struggling to navigate the challenges of COVID over the past year. Canceled shows, closed galleries, anxiety, fear, panic and anger — so much anger. Early on it became clear that I needed to find a way forward for the sake of my mental health, to embrace this gift of time and solitude brought on by circumstances so beyond my control.” Stop by Rising Above if you’re seeking a moment of calm reflection and a sense of shared understanding. — CHEY SCOTT

Rising Above: Art by Rosemary Barile, Karen Mobley and Deb Sheldon • April 2-May 1; gallery open Thu-Sat from 6-8 pm • Free • Terrain Gallery • 304 W. Pacific Ave. • terrainspokane.com

MUSIC VIRTUAL ORCHESTRA

We may not be ready for big concerts quite yet, but that doesn’t mean we have to be totally deprived of music. The Spokane Symphony is launching a five-part virtual spring concert series called “Overtones: Connecting Art, Music and Science.” Each installment features a 90-minute orchestral performance as well as conversations between Symphony Director James Lowe and musicians, historians and other local experts. This weekend marks the premiere of the series’ first entry, which is focused on the concept of musical roots, exploring the folk traditions that inspired Polish, Czech and Scottish composers. Access to the entire on-demand series runs $100, but you can also purchase tickets for the individual concerts that drop every two weeks. This first production debuts at noon on Friday and will be available to view through May 28.
