We exist in a moment of over-stimulation and information saturation, a moment where a short descriptive paragraph can create a beautiful, sparkling image for us, but then be quickly forgotten and dissolved back into the ether of the internet.This work is a playful way to make commentary on the serious questions about AI art. Using very simple pre-programmed vacuuming/mopping robots with some minimal modifications I wrangle the robots to produce something visually interesting. The catch is, just like AI, these robots cannot do it on their own. They need input and a lot of help from a person to make the art.

Spring Clean Week

Just in time for Bloomsday and Lilac Festival celebrations, downtown Spokane is getting a fresh look, and the community is rolling up its sleeves to make it happen. Spring Clean Week 2026 kicks off Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 1.
Spring Clean Week invites volunteers to spend their lunch hours giving back to the city center alongside the Downtown Spokane Clean Team, the DSP’s dedicated crew who work 365 days a year to keep downtown clean, green, and welcoming. From litter pickup to prepping flower planters, volunteers will help get downtown photo-ready for the thousands of springtime visitors who come for Spokane’s signature May events.
“The Downtown Clean Team are the heart and hustle behind our streets,” said Emilie Cameron, President & CEO of the Downtown Spokane Partnership. “Spring Clean Week is a chance to amplify their efforts and bring the community together to care for our shared public spaces.”
Spring Clean Week includes daily beautification projects including litter pickup, sidewalk sweeping, planter prep, and graffiti removal. Efforts will focus on areas not part of the Clean Team’s standard routes such as alleyways, parking lots, gutters, and tree wells.
Thanks to support from the City of Spokane Waste Department, which is supplying cleaning gear, and to Downtown Spokane Grocery Outlet, providing snacks and drinks to keep volunteers energized throughout the week.
It’s not too late to sign up to volunteer! Visit www.downtownspokane.org to get involved.
For those unable to attend in person, follow @downtownspokane on social media for daily clean-up inspiration, or sponsor a downtown planter for just $50—a tax-deductible way to help Spokane bloom.

Della Mae Album Release with The Chilling Alpine Adventure
2026-04-30 19:30 - 22:00 | Bing Crosby Theater, 901 W. Sprague Ave,, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States
Contemporary string band Della Mae has earned a reputation as one of the most inspiring live acts in the roots music scene. With a GRAMMY nomination and extensive touring under their belts, the all-woman quartet releases a career-defining album titled Magic Accident. Long-time advocates for women in roots music, Della Mae collaborated with producer and banjoist Alison Brown on this project, their first for Nashville-based Compass Records. The result is an album that showcases a band at the peak of its abilities.
Magic Accident draws inspiration from a wide range of roots music, including Americana-influenced songs that echo early Chicks, hard-driving bluegrass romps, and dreamy indie folk-inspired tracks. Della Mae’s vocal strength, instrumental, and writing skills shine throughout this mostly original album. It opens with the cosmic title track, written and sung by lead vocalist and guitarist Celia Woodsmith. The song reflects on the passage of time and self-discovery, inspired by a letter Woodsmith wrote at 25 to her future self. “I’m just as holy as the great divide,” Woodsmith writes. “I’m just a small piece of the great mystery. I don’t need to question any of my life.”
Band founder and fiddler Kimber Ludiker draws from the modal Appalachian fiddle tune tradition on “Family Tree,” co-written with the band’s guitarist Avril Smith and singer/songwriter Becky Warren. Musically, the track delivers one of the album’s most decidedly bluegrass moments, with Ludiker’s fiddle propelled by Brown’s banjo.
The Chilling Alpine Adventure (TCAA) is a cinematic pop rock band led by singer-songwriter Jessy Ribordy. Their self-titled debut album, The Chilling Alpine Adventure, was released on December 27, 2024.
Right out of high school, Jessy launched his first band, Falling Up, which was signed to Tooth & Nail Records—kickstarting his career as a singer and songwriter. The band went on to sell over 250,000 albums, earn nine number-one singles, and tour worldwide.
In addition to his work as a performer, Jessy also composes music for film and television. On this special night, The Chilling Alpine Adventure will join Della Mae for a rare acoustic performance.

In May the Liberty Gallery Features "Illuminated Spirit", Paintings by Janene Grende!
2026-05-01 11:00 - 2026-05-30 19:00 | Liberty Gallery in the Historic Liberty Building, 203 N Washington,, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States
This show centers around the flow of life in the natural world, illuminated by the slanting light at the edges of dawn and dusk. The paintings celebrate life’s small wonders; the fleeting instance of a hummingbird, the rushing sound of a waterfall, the sweet smell of spring grass bending to the hooves of a new foal.
“Native Mother Nature” is a grand centerpiece of creatures engaging in a peaceful afternoon of spirits coming together, celebrating the simple joys of living as intended; and the painting “The Big Red Horse” honors the year of the fire horse, a year of building for a future of powerful beginnings.
Stop by the Liberty Gallery at 203 N. Washington St during May to see Janene’s painting ~ stop by First Friday May 1st from 5-8pm to meet Janene in person!

Cherylee Duncan is the PPP Guest Artist in May!
2026-05-01 11:00 - 2026-05-30 19:00 | Pottery Place Plus, 203 N Washington St, #200a, Spokane, WA, 99201, United States
There is a school of thought that artists must have only one recognizable style but Cherylee Duncan has too much artful energy to adhere to that ‘rule’. If she has a distinct trademark, it would be ‘eclectic’ ~ Cherylee abhors waste and therefore get excited about reusing and upcycling as much as possible, to emulate nature’s delight in each piece.
When she crochets rugs from all recycled fabrics Cherylee saves bits and pieces for use in mixed media paintings. This method, along with using only what is already on hand, is how she has created her new series, Threadscapes II ~ the options are excitingly endless.
Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the historic Liberty Building this May to see Cherylee’s work ~ come by First Friday May 1st to meet Cherylee in person!
