It’s First Friday time!
First Friday is one of the best things about Spokane. We hope you get out and see a bunch of different First Friday shows.
There are all kinds of venues showing all kinds of artists.
There’s a place for every taste and skill level.
If you’re looking for some stunning art from award-winning professional artists then Marmot is the place for you!
We are thrilled to introduce renowned Chinese American sculptor Haiying Wu to Spokane. His outstanding Billy Frank Jr. statue is sure to be a huge hit here in Spokane. We’re so thankful to the Washington State Arts Commission for making this happen!
This statue will represent Washington State in Statuary Hall in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. Statuary Hall is arguably THE best place to showcase a sculpture in the United States. Period. We’re thrilled to host the maquette.
Billy Frank Jr. is featured in the statue. Billy was an important Native American activist from the Nisqually Tribe in Western Washington.
Come meet Haiying this First Friday!
We’ll also have work by Smithsonian Visionary Artist Award winner Patti Warashina, Professors Emeriti Keiko Hara, Ruben Trejo, and Gordon Wilson, Gabe Fernandez, professors Frank Munns and Rob McKirdie, Shelli Walters, Sarah B Hansen, Jeff Olson, and our favorite Montana based artist Kelly Packer!
Excited to see you this First Friday.
Come say, “Hi!” to everyone this First Friday, Sept 6th, 5-8pm, at Marmot Art Space. Doors open at 5 PM!
