Meet the Spokane Civic Theatre’s playwright-inresidence, Bryan Harnetiaux, who over the course of four decades and counting has written and staged numerous original works there, including a new title this fall. We also chatted with all three of the Spokane Symphony’s living music directors, past and present, ahead of the orchestra’s 75th season, for which each is conducting a concert for its Masterworks concert series. Also get the scoop on the return of Terrain, one of the region’s most anticipated fall highlights, and get caught up on some of the region’s newest public art pieces. Finally, meet a new nonprofit that’s working to get quality children’s literature into the hands and homes of all Inland Northwest families.
In this year’s Fall Arts issue, we’ve put together a jampacked, 13-week calendar of events with all this and then some, as well as staff-curated event previews and profiles on some major movers and shakers in the community.
We’re so glad the creative community is “back,” having picked up the pieces of an unprecedented global disaster and persevered in a way few can without losing hope. So many of us were lost without in-person arts interaction, which — we now know all too well — is not something that can be replaced.
So, dear readers, make sure to get out there this fall and show your support! The arts are back!

Reese says the price for books with a membership can be up to 30 percent off the cover price. Supporters can also sponsor memberships for low-income students ($18 a month or $108 for six months) who are nominated for the scholarship program by teachers.
Founded in 2021 by local literacy educator Ashley Reese, the center operates a small bookstore on North Monroe Street, where it also hosts art- and book-related workshops for adults and children. The physical location,
Making sure local kids have access to quality books that inspire and inform through exquisite illustrations and enduring tales is the focus of a new local nonprofit, the Center for Children’s Book Arts.
“With the library, there’s not that sense of ownership of this sense of ‘This belongs to me, and this is part of my childhood culture, and we can come back to this over and over again as a family,’” she says.
“I’ve taught internationally and locally, and have consistently seen the power of high-quality literature and art on engagement with students,” Reese adds. “And, just in researching best practices in literacy, it has consistently come up that a high-quality home library is the number one predictor of academic success in students.”
“We’re trying to consider how to facilitate that in a way where books can be highly curated and selected, but still accessible to lower income families,” Reese says. “Most programs that get books into homes are usually looking at lower print quality, or lower-quality of even writing and art or illustration, and then you’re certainly not looking at hardcover, so usually those books just don’t last.”
Whether we knew it at the time or not, books such as these were quietly shaping and molding our young minds, sparking interests and spurring creativity. They’re the kind of stories that, for good reason, stick with us long after the last page was turned.

2ND ANNUAL CHILDREN’S BOOK ARTS FAIR
Tucked back behind shelves filled with colorful book covers and spines — a space that’s truly a bookworm’s dream — is a small studio that’s already hosted several sessions on topics such as printmaking, bookbinding, papermaking, hand lettering and more.These workshops are taught by local artists, and most are free to the public (a donation of $15-$35 is requested from those who can afford to contribute).

n addition to connecting readers with heirloom-quality books, the center hosts workshops for kids and adults.
A series for adults called “Create + Hydrate” has proven popular so far, Reese says, and is modeled after paint-and-sip classes, with wine or other beverages served while attendees work on the featured activity.
“The way we select our books, we ask ourselves, ‘Can this stand the test of time and be considered an heirloom quality text?’” she continues. “Both in its construction, if it’s hardcover, and in its themes and also its composition. And books that parents will want to keep around and out and available in their homes.”Reese

And, when it comes to books that challenge societal norms or teach kids about sensitive or difficult subject matter, Reese seeks tastefully written titles that “normalize something in a way that it’s just kind of a matter of fact of society or humans, rather than something that’s so different it has to be shouted at me.”

As the center establishes itself as a literary hub for all, Reese says volunteers are needed to help run the storefront during regu lar hours, along with artists (who are paid for their time, thanks to grant funding) to collaborate and teach workshops. She hopes more families see value in signing up for a membership. Her goal is to have 200 active accounts by the end of the year.
“It’s always interesting to see what kids select when they’re in here,” Reese says. “You get a different experience when you get to come in and browse and feel [a book].” n

For parents who want to ensure their kids are accessing some of the best in children’s literature available today, the center makes it easy.“At a library, you’re going to have access to almost every children’s book that is coming out, or that’s being published at the time,” Reese says. “And although you can sort through them, unless you have an eye for discerning what is considered good literature, it’s going to be hard to select for that.

Typically, resident playwrights have a term of a season or two. But there are exceptions. Some can last a few years.
STILL IN PLAY After 40 years as the Civic’s playwright-in-residence, Bryan Harnetiaux continues to turn out new work
BY E.J. IANNELLI
The plays that Harnetiaux went on to develop would result in life-altering collaborations and even national recognition.In1998, there was National Pastime, which recounts Jackie Robinson’s historic rupture of Major League Baseball’s color line some 50 years earlier. The play was ultimately selected out of more than a thousand by Jim and Lissa Reynolds’ then-relatively new Fremont Centre Theatre in Robinson’s (and Harnetiaux’s) childhood stomping ground of Pasadena, California.
Humbled but undaunted, Harnetiaux pressed on with writing new work for the evolving studio space.
ITHEATER
“It was after night school, and I had all these free evenings. So I just came down and tried out for a play,” Harnetiaux says. Roles in Bus Stop and A Thousand Clowns followed. He became the recurring narrator for the Civic’s regular production of A Christmas Carol.
By June 1977, Harnetiaux had a one-act play of his

Or, in Bryan Harnetiaux’s case, four decades.
n the theater world, playwrights-in-residence are writers who commit themselves to a particular venue for a set period of time. It’s intended to be a symbiotic relationship, with the theater giving the playwright access to the resources needed to bring a script to the stage, and the playwright ideally using that fertile environment to provide the theater with fresh and exciting work.
was loosely understood that if I had something ready to mount, I could develop it here — at least downstairs if not upstairs,” he says.
“He just blasted me. I was devastated. But it was straightforward, and it was valid,” Harnetiaux says.
In response to the negative press, Harnetiaux’s circle of champions hired local film critic Bob Glatzer to write a second review of Dumb Luck with “maybe a little better hometown perspective.”
Harnetiaux’s involvement with the Spokane Civic The atre started when the organization itself was, in his own words, “the biggest game in town,” yet still young by in stitutional standards. He had moved to Spokane from the Los Angeles area to attend Gonzaga in 1965; and in 1973, having wrapped up his law degree, he decided to audition for The Importance of Being Earnest. The director, incidentally, was Margot Ogden, to whom, along with her husband, Robert, the Civic’s main auditorium is now dedicated.
“Out of the blue, she says to me, ‘How would you like to be playwright-in-residence?’ And there’s never been a shred of paper about what that means, but it
Local teacher and actor David Casteal, who starred as Robinson in the Civic’s initial run of National Pastime, would then co-develop York with Harnetiaux in 2004. York is a one-man play about the only black explorer among Lewis and Clark’s 40-member Corps of Discovery. Harnetiaux wrote the script; Casteal created the Djembe drum rhythms that drive the story. The play brought the duo to cities like Portland, San Antonio and New York.
Then, in 1980, his full-length comedy Dumb Luck got the main stage treatment. Eager to promote their home grown dramatic talent, the Civic brought in a big-league critic who wrote reviews for United Press International.
“And Bob blasted me, too,” he laughs. “So that’s how my career upstairs started.”
“In ’82, I made the decision to leave the full-time practice of law so that I could write more. And, as it happens, I stumbled into an academic law practice that allowed me to spend much more time writing,” he says. That same year, Civic executive director Betty Tomlinson took him out for a fortuitous lunch.
During all this, Harnetiaux had also been working on a cycle of end-of-life plays. Holding On, Letting Go appeared in 2012 to complete that trilogy that also included Vesta (1996) and Dusk (2007). Originally written for members of Spokane’s pioneering all-black Onyx Theater Troupe, Holding On, Letting Go was selected and featured as a main stage production at the National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the following year.
staged “downstairs” — shorthand for the experimental basement room with “penitential seats,” as described by local critic Mike Siconolfi — that would eventually, with Harnetiaux’s help, become the Civic’s proper Studio The ater. Over the next three years, several more of his short plays were staged there.
“Other than that, I proclaim no real acting skills. It’s just kind of one person’s community theater journey. But it ignited my writing,” he says.

“It’s about a son, 40 years later, returning to his hometown and reuniting with his sister and reexamining their childhood. So it’s a family drama, and it’s a bit of a ghost story. There are two nonspeaking parts who are ‘presences’ throughout the play,” he says. Veteran actor Jerry Sciarrio is directing this inaugural run.
or his 40th year in residence and the Civic’s 75th an niversary, Harnetiaux is back in the theater’s familiar Firth J. Chew Studio to debut his latest work, Exile, which has “been sitting in drydock,” he says, while waiting for COVID to pass. Featuring a cast of six, the play was inspired by his thoughts after attending his 50th high school reunion.
As he contemplates the debuts and revivals scheduled for this season, what causes Harnetiaux to marvel isn’t the longevity of his tenure. It’s the fact that the opportunity even existed in the first “It’splace.unusual for a community theater to have a playwright-inresidence. That’s why I’ve always felt such gratitude for that. The hardest thing for a playwright is to find a home for their work,” he says. And 40 years on, he still can’t quite believe his luck.

Along with Exile, the Civic also aims to produce National Pastime later this season.

Guys and Dolls has been a cornerstone of musical theater since its Broadway premiere in 1950. Set in New York’s “classic” 1920s gangster era, its tale of wayward gamblers finding love and redemption is a perennial favorite. The musical is based on two short stories by the trendsetting writer Damon Runyon, but it was the music of Frank Loesser (“Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat”) and the vivid book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows that fused Loesser’s memorable tunes with equally memorable characters.

What kind of Christmas would it be without grumpy, miserly Scrooge discovering the true meaning of the season thanks to the supernatural advice of three different ghosts? Starting the day after Thanksgiv ing, you can get into the holiday spirit yourself with this production of Barbara Field’s stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic short story. The show is co-directed this year by Bryan Durbin and Kearney Jordan as the Civic continues to celebrate its 75th an niversary season with a theatrical hit parade. Spokane Civic Theatre, $35, Thu-Sat at 7:30 pm, Sun at 2 pm, spokanecivictheatre.com (EJI)
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
THEATER
DEC. 9-22
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music — the last musical the famous duo would ever write together — likely needs no introduction. This fictionalized history of the Von Trapp family singers has given us a slew of earworms like “My Favorite Things” and “Do-Re-Mi,” not to mention the title song. The 1965 film is a cinema classic and has its own cottage tourist industry. The very name of the musical evokes images of Alpine meadows. In the run-up to Christmas, you can give yourself an early treat with this kid-centric production. Spokane Children’s Theatre, tickets and showtimes TBD, spokanechildrenstheatre.org (EJI)

TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS
DEC. 2-18
Tania, a pregnant doctoral candidate, and her hus band, Pablo, an up-and-coming attorney, move into a new residential neighborhood. They’re welcomed by their next-door neighbors Frank and Virginia, who also happen to maintain a magazine-quality English garden. However, when Tania starts eyeing her own garden and plans to build a fence, a polite disagree ment over property borders and aesthetics erupts into a full-blown backyard brawl. Karen Zacarias’ comedy, directed in this Civic studio production by Dawn Taylor Reinhardt, is about differences in taste, class and per spective — and finding shared values in spite of them.

Four shelters are already visible — two from each artist, one for the eastbound stop and the other west bound — each helping to establish a sense of place in their respective communities.

We tend to think of murals as being on the wall, but Spo kane’s Hoopfest murals are on another large, flat surface where everyone’s looking: the basketball court.

There’s an obvious theme to the bronze figurative sculptures overlooking Coeur d’Alene’s McEuen Park, all of which were created by North Idaho artist Terry Lee: Idaho history. In addition to “American Worker,” “Idaho Lumberjack” and “Idaho Farmer,” Lee added “The Suffragist” in summer 2020. It commemorates the 100th anniversary of Idaho’s ratification of the 19th Amend ment recognizing women’s equal right to vote, which may or may not be relevant to an act of vandalism occurring earlier this year in which someone spray-painted “Beta Males” on the piece (the paint has since been cleaned off, and no further incidents have been reported).

The most recently completed Hoopfest mural is by Ruben Marcilla, who happens to also be a longstand ing sign painter for Avista Stadium. Marcilla’s design at Franklin Park celebrates the Spokane River, Salish language and Spokane Tribe, who sponsored the mural along with Spokane Indians baseball.
In summer 2022, “The Miner” was added to the growing pantheon of permanent art along Front Avenue, which may continue to expand in coming years. Lee is currently working on a 1940s-era nurse from Farragut Naval Station and a historic Army soldier.
The swans face each other, their necks forming a heart, which makes for a great photo. The swans’ bodies are abstracted so that there are no sharp edges, making them ideal for climbing. And because they’re made of bronze, there’s every possibility this pair will endure indefinitely.

hile plenty of attention is paid to public art pieces that spark contro versy, public art serves many roles, not the least of which is enlivening public spaces with imagery, color and design. It can commemorate important people, places and events. It can create or augment a sense of place. Public art can be serious, silly, or something in between. And yes, it can even spark people to think, act or feel something about the work and what it represents.

Situated in the grass outside the Shadle Park Library are several painted cutout figures by Jasmine Iona Brown, which reinforce the library’s sense of place as a repository of knowledge. Although untitled, the flat figures are colloquially referred to as “The Readers.” Their col ors — green, goldenrod, orange — mirror the natural surroundings, as well as the iconic green-and-yellow Shadle Park reservoir tank.

Her artwork looks cute, but beware the bite of social commentary, which artist and Whitworth University arts professor Katie Creyts incorporates in a new series exploring how humans and animals interact. “We push cultural needs on the natural and alternately want authentic and idyllic nature to be available for our pleasure,” says Creyts, who layers and fuses glass together to create complex and visually compelling pieces. “My work engages this pleasure of viewing artwork, the ‘trappings’ of materials and color, animals and decoration, but visual cues are placed to prick deeper contempla tion.” North Idaho College Boswell Hall Corner Gallery, open Mon-Thu from 10 am-4 pm and Fri from 10 am-2:30 pm, free, nic.edu (CAS)
The Inland Northwest has no shortage of art museums, and these two ongoing exhibits at Washington State University’s Pullman campus are jampacked with gorgeous visuals and rich culture. “Our Stories, Our Lives: Irwin Nash Photographs” shines a spotlight on Washington’s agriculture scene and features photographs that span 11 years through the rise of labor and protest movements. Guest curator Lipi Turner-Rahman shares her process to select Nash’s photographs for the exhibit in a guided conversation. Mean while, Juventino Aranda showcases his art that relates to the social, political and economic struggles of late capitalism and notions of the American dream in “Esperé Mucho Tiempo Pa Ver,” which translates to “I Have Waited a Long Time to See.” Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, guided conversation 3-4:30 pm, reception 4:30-6 pm, free, museum.wsu.edu (MP)

For this local artist, one’s man’s trash is, indeed, treasure that’s ripe for inspiration and creative interpretation. As a multidisciplinary artist, Krista Brand is focused on exploring our relationship with urban litter and plastic waste. By incorporating materials found in parking lots, curbsides and other locales into art, such familiar throw-away objects may take on new meaning for the viewer. When she’s not making art — such as pieces displayed in her solo show this fall at Whitworth’s Bryan Oliver Gallery — Brand is an academic coordinator and art instructor at Washington State Uni versity. An opening reception (5-6 pm) and artist lecture (6 pm) for “Periphery” are set for Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Few artists at The Art Spirit Gallery get a truly solo show; most monthly exhibits feature at least two to three artists, and some times four to five. But Mel McCuddin is special in many ways, including his instantly recognizable style (if you’ve exited the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, you’ve probably done so under the watchful eyes of McCuddin’s painted figures) and his longevity. McCuddin has exhibited at The Art Spirit for 25 years, since the gallery opened, and has been painting for more than twice as long.
The name Lila Girvin might be familiar to anyone involved with the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (back when it was the Cheney Cowles Museum) or the Spokane Symphony, both organizations for which she’s served on the board. But Girvin’s interest in the arts goes back much further and is much more personal. Girvin has been painting since the ’50s and although she has shown her work regionally, the MAC’s feature exhibit is the first time modern audiences will be treated to a large body of Girvin’s ethereal abstract paintings.

LOWE: I’d just love to kind of chime in on that one, too. In my kind of selection week, when I had my concert, I’d been working in Finland. And I’d had an idea there, and I said it to the boss there, and she said, “Ah, we don’t do it that way.” And then I remember coming to my audition week and talking to Jeff vom Saal, the execu
INLANDER: WHAT’S THE FIRST THING THAT SPRINGS TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF THE SPOKANE SYMPHONY?
In anticipation of the Masterworks performances, the Inlander organized a Zoom roundtable discussion with all three composers. Here’s a condensed version of that chat (find the full version at Inlander.com).
MECHETTI: That’s exactly the same feeling I had — what now… almost 30 years ago? What impressed me most about Spokane Symphony was this willingness to really make music and not being afraid to tackle the hard est repertoire. A very honest way of making music.
A roundtable chat with the three living Spokane Symphony conductors/musical directors, all of whom will take the stage during the 2022-23 season
Before the COVID pandemic put a wrench in live music, the organization planned to bring together all of its living former conductors/music directors to each take up the baton and conduct a concert in its Masterworks series. That includes the current Brit in charge, James Lowe (2019-present); his German predecessor, Eckart Preu (2004-2019); and Brazilian maestro Fabio Mechetti (1993-2004).Thatvision becomes a reality during the symphony’s 2022-23 season. Lowe will conduct the bulk of the Masterworks, Mechetti will lead the symphony through a program of Brazilian and German compositions (Gomes, Strwauss, Wagner) in October, and Preu will take the stage for a German/Austrian combo of Wagner and Bruckner next March.
tive director, and I mentioned the same idea. And he said, “Ah! We don’t do it like that way… that’s really interest ing! Try that!” And that was the moment I thought, “Oh yeah, this is a good gig.”
lassical music is a genre predicated on legacy. No other performance art form pri marily leans on works created centuries ago. But within the symphonic realm, it’s also important to be mindful of living legacies. The Spokane Symphony is acutely aware of this.
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE PIECES OR PERFORMANCES DURING YOUR TENURE?
Another thing that I think was very important at that time was the recording. We did Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony It was the first recording the city had done at the time.

MECHETTI: Spokane Symphony was my first orchestra, so everything was exciting. Sometimes it was the first time they were playing it — things like Rite of Spring or whatever. I remember a program I did that was the Scythian Suite, Rite of Spring and a Tchaikovsky, The Sleeping Beauty or Swan Lake. It was all Russian, from the Romantics to Prokofiev. When we thought about doing that concert, there was some suspicion about it. Are you crazy? Are you really going to do it? And it was one of the best concerts I think we’ve done there.
26 INLANDER FALL ARTS GUIDE 2022
PREU: I had a similar feeling. The word that came to my mind first was warmth. It’s something that I felt at my audition concert — people were very open for ideas and were really trying to do whatever you asked them to. During my tenure, I found no matter their repertoire, no matter the venue, no matter what I tried — weird or not — they were always willing to try new things. And that was actually the entire organization, not just the musi cians. Nobody would block anything. It has been a very adventurous organization.

It’s hard to contextualize the true breadth of Judy Collins’ career, but here’s a tidbit: The folk icon earned a Grammy nomination for her 2017 album, Silver Skies Blue, 42 years after her most recent previous Grammy nomination… which she received 26 years into her career. Her soaring voice has made hits out of songs by Joni Mitchell and Stephen Sondheim, and her version of “Amazing Grace” has been preserved by the Library of Congress.

Online music publication Pitchfork compared Wild Pink’s 2021 album A Billion Little Lights to a cross between Death Cab for Cutie and War on Drugs. That alone should pique indie rock dads’ interest, but there’s more — some rock critics who’ve heard the Brooklyn group’s upcoming album ILYSM have compared it to Wilco’s classic record Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. There’s a delicate grace to early singles like “Hold My Hand” and “ILYSM,” which should make for a magical eve ning of hushed indie rock beauty in the intimate confines of Lucky You.

MODEST MOUSE
There have been a lot of Commodores over the years, most notably Lionel Ritchie, who master fully piloted the longstanding musical group into the ’70s and early ’80s before going solo. Likewise for several other Commodores, but the core sound stitching together R&B, pop and funk has endured. So have three longtime band members who will be bringing the hits to Worley in November: Walter “Clyde” Orange, James Dean “JD” Nicholas, and William “WAK” King, who is partially respon sible for randomly picking the band’s name when they first formed. And if the band doesn’t sound exactly like it did 40 or 50 years ago, chances are your hearing isn’t what it used to be either.

The late-’80s/early-’90s alt-rock boom still survives, as this double bill makes evidently clear. Led by the mercurial Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins created some of the era’s most indel ible hits that still hold up decades later (“1979,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” “Tonight Tonight,” etc.). Jane’s Addiction started out as edgy outsid er artists only to take that freaky style mainstream with the Lollapalooza festival and tunes like “Jane Says” and “Been Caught Stealing.” (Make sure to show up early, as the show’s opener, Poppy, serves up a sugar-coated Hot Topic-friendly metalcore spectacle.)

Even if you feel like Walker Hayes’ smash hit “Feels Like” (aka “The Applebee’s Song”)... ummm feels like the nadir of modern lowestcommon denominator hyper-consumerist coun try with its advertorial chorus name-checking of Applebee’s menu items and all the wit of someone who named his album Country Stuff, there’s no denying there’s a massive audience for his reheated chain-restaurant quality songwrit ing. For Hayes’ fans, his stop at Spokane Arena is sure to be a country fried party. Spokane Arena, 7 pm, $35-$259, spokanearena.com (SS)

The organization’s events may have come to a screech ing halt in the two-year interim, but the work behind the scenes didn’t. Ewing and Caro searched for ways to put money into the pockets of artists by hosting pop-up vacci nation clinics and hiring BIPOC artists to do art tutorials in The Black Lens newspaper. After receiving grants and completing other fundraising efforts, Terrain brought in about $800,000 for local artists despite its own hardships.
he anticipation of Terrain’s return has been felt in myriad ways. Ewing says that even though the call for submis sions for this year’s event was shorter than previous years, at just three weeks, they’ve received almost as many submissions as previ
pokane arts nonprofit Terrain started as a one-off thing: a party thrown in a vacant building, highlighting local artists and their work.In the decade-plus since, Terrain has become a permanent fixture in Spokane’s art world. The organization has expanded from vacant warehouses to its own gallery space, a retail storefront in River Park Square and year-round programming tailored to the local art community.WhileTerrain’s flagship event was put on hold for two years due to the pandemic, it’s making its triumphant return in 2022 under the leadership of Ginger Ewing and Jackie Caro, the organization’s executive director and operations director, respectively.
“As an organization, we were losing thousands and thousands of dollars a week during that time,” Ewing says. “We need Terrain to sustain our organization and to fulfill our mission of bringing people together and showcasing amazing art.”
A Long-Awaited Return
In addition to featured art being sold directly to patrons at the flagship event, there’s also a major fund raising focus to secure dona tions from attendees during its one-night run.

By the midnight deadline on Sept. 11, the organiza tion had received 445 artist submissions for its 13th iteration, compared to a previous record of 457. Ewing says about 75 percent of this year’s submissions are from artists with whom she’s not familiar.

“It’s the bread and butter of what we do at Terrain,” Caro says. “It’s the one time we get to celebrate every art form that we support all at once.”
The event is known for bringing together the entire creative community — whether you’re a poet, a musician or a potter, you can find a sense of belonging at Terrain.
It takes a lot of people to ensure that a region’s arts scene is alive, well and — most of all — flourishing. Each fall, Spokane Arts, the city’s nonprofit arts booster, sets aside an evening to celebrate the arts and honor those who are making lasting contributions to the region’s diverse artistic identity. By opening the nominations to the public, locals also get a say in who’s recognized, whether that’s a respected organization or one individual making waves in one of the awards’ four categories: leadership, collaboration, imagination and inclusion. All are invited to come find out who wins, and to celebrate at a joyful reception with music, poetry, dance and more. Lucky You Lounge, 7 pm, $25, ages 21+, spokanearts.org (CS)
“We anticipate having a stage outside of the venue this year,” Ewing says. “Our idea is that it’ll attract more people to the event — maybe some passer-by will wander in. We want to create a ton of energy outside of the building to match the energy inside.”
The venue will transform from an empty building into a bustling hub of all things local art. Terrain usually features a couple hundred art pieces that occupy all of the nooks and crannies of whatever space it’s popping up in. Caro says that this year, they encouraged more digital art submissions and more site-specific installations.
ous years when the event was at its largest.
“In this new normal that we’re living in it’s more im portant than ever to the soul of the city to support local artists,” Caro says. “We need to invest in and support our creative community in a significant and meaningful way. Terrain accomplishes that.”

That support doesn’t stop after Terrain is over. Its leaders are always looking for new ways to advocate for local artists. In addition to the flagship event and two seasonal arts markets — BrrrZAAR and Bazaar — Ewing and Caro have plenty of side projects in the works they say will come to life in the next six months to a year.
Among 50 libraries across the U.S., Gonzaga University’s Foley Library was selected to host this traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., that explores how Amer icans in the 1930s and ’40s responded to reports of Nazism and Jewish genocide. On display through early October, “Americans and the Holocaust” is on the library’s third floor and is free and open to the public. Using primary sources, the exhibit chal lenges long-held assumptions that most U.S. citizens at the time either didn’t know what was happening to Europe’s Jewish population or did little to help.

Harvest Festival Apple Palooza
This year, Terrain is being held at a former JensenByrd property in downtown Spokane. Though the name is the same as recent years’ venue in the University Dis trict, it’s not the same warehouse, but a different building also formerly owned by the longtime hardware company. That space, being more central than the previous venue, gives the event a different feel by its location alone.

It’s always heartening to see just how much humor transcends our conventional notions of borders that allegedly separate cultures. Comedian Vir Das is proof positive of this. He was born in India, raised in Nigeria and went to college in Illinois before starting a standup career in India, then transitioning to acting in Bollywood and, finally, carving out a niche on American TV as an actor and comedian (including five Netflix comedy specials). Basically, Das finds a way to suc ceed and be funny wherever he happens to be while never losing touch with his Indian roots (even if he’s using them for joke fodder).

There’s nothing quite like watching tiny smiling faces singing and dancing along with their favorite Disney characters. That oppor tunity usually only comes once a year when Disney On Ice skates into town. This particular edition of Disney On Ice invites audiences on a road trip to iconic Disney destinations. Go into the show with an open mind, maybe you’ll heal your inner child and have just as much, or more, fun as the little one standing next to you.

Folk music has been around for… well, ever. It’s learned mostly through hearing rather than reading, which is what makes it so special. The Fall Folk Festival is the event of the year for all who enjoy the sweet sounds of the banjo. Wander throughout the halls long enough, and you might just stumble upon your new favorite folk artist or a workshop to attend. Along with the eight stages of constantly rotating folk bands and dancers, local vendors will sell their wares and spread the good word about folk music and culture to all who lend a listening ear.

The only constant in their repertoire is the Blue Men themselves: Dressed in black, all visible skin painted blue, they do not speak.

DISNEY ON ICE: ROAD TRIP ADVENTURES
NOV. 19
When one digs into events of the past, it’s not uncommon to discover dirty, dark secrets that those long gone from this world probably hoped would, well, stay dead with them. While the grit tier doings of the Amasa B. Campbell family, whose opulent home has long been a living history museum at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture campus, may not be as salacious as, say, a modern true crime series, it’s still intriguing enough to warrant sharing. This special one-night tour series unveils some of the stranger actions of the mining magnate family and their connections, from persistent rumors to true misfortune. (Take note that tickets are only available in person, and tour spots are limited, so you should arrive by 5 pm to save a spot.) The MAC, tours from 6-6:45 pm, $4-$6, northwestmuseum.org (CS)

Not only is Leno performing new material that he’s curated and perfected during his time off air, he’s also bringing back the trivia game “You Bet Your Life” to his set. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just getting into his comedy, it’s bound to be a hilarious and memorable night for everyone.

With the show rated for general audiences, it’s the perfect Friday night activity for all ages. The Blue Door Theatre, 7:30 pm, $8, all ages, bluedoortheatre.com (SSa)

SAM MORRIL
While some stand-up comedians use high energy or gimmicks to hook an au dience, Sam Morril is content to hang back and let his joke writing do the talk ing. His calm, raspy, almost deadpan delivery draws an audience in without desperately grasping to get their attention. His new Netflix special Same Time Tomorrow captures the fluidity of his humor. He can hit humorous insights on modern events and politics in such a matter-of-fact way (rather than try to be a provocateur) and then swiftly move onto another topic, craft hilarious bits from his own life and relationships, and do crowd work that actually pops. Whether pointing out the stupidity of moral statement shirts, the similarities between the Catholic Church and Amazon, or why slow drivers make him sus picious about Nazism, there’s always a new humorous spin around the corner. Laughing in the New Year with Morril sounds like a pretty good way to wind down 2022.

Not only does the ballet include live music from the Spokane Symphony, it includes the dazzling performances from State Street Ballet of Santa Barbara, and the local youth dancers from Spokane who join them on stage each year. No matter how many times you’ve seen The Nutcracker in Spokane, the sets, costumes and talent of all of the performers remain as memorable and inspiring as ever.

Remember the incredibly cool Chinese Lantern Festival at Riverfront Park back in 2015? A slightly scaled back and more holiday-themed version is returning this year when the Northwest Winterfest takes over the Spokane County fair grounds. Transitioning from being the outdoor, drive-through event of 2021, this year’s Winterfest is all inside (where it’s warm!), and features dozens of highly detailed, lighted lantern displays, from Santa to cute woodland animals and decorated evergreens, plus more. There are also food vendors, games and other activities to enjoy. Details are still coming together, but mark your calendars now for this fun, family-friendly multicultural experience.
