We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Artist Exhibition at Uptic Studios, the captivating work of Montana-based artist Ben Mickelson. This event has been co-organized with Kelly Baker Art Advising, bringing together artistic expertise and personalized guidance to create a truly unique experience.

Join us for this special First Friday event on Friday, November 1st, as part of Spokane’s First Friday tradition. Ben Mickelson’s latest series explores the changing Western landscape through water color and mixed-media collages, drawing inspiration from the natural world—our forests, mountains, and rivers. His work beautifully celebrates the places he loves, inviting viewers to experience the seasons and landscapes that shape his art.

First Friday is a monthly celebration of Spokane’s downtown art and retail scene, taking place on the first Friday of each month from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Attendees can explore various venues throughout downtown Spokane, enjoying art exhibitions, live music, and special offerings from local retailers and restaurants.

The event at Uptic Studios will run from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, offering you the opportunity to view Ben’s incredible artwork, meet the artist, learn more about his creative journey, and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. Light bites and refreshments will be provided.
