Terrain

Applications for our flagship event close in less than a month! 👀

If you make things, move things, film things, paint things, build things, break the rules a little—we want to see it. Dancers, painters, filmmakers, musicians, installation artists, ceramicists, and creatives we don’t even know how to categorize yet: this is your sign.

A little insider tip: all work is juried by a panel of folks working in Spokane’s creative scene, and we typically receive around 500 applications. So send us your strongest work, use clear images, good lighting, and give yourself the best shot to stand out.

Don’t wait till the last minute—get those applications in ✨

Deadline: June 22

They did the thing!!! 💜

After weeks of dreaming big, building confidence, sharpening ideas, and putting in the work, this incredible group stepped into a room full of people and shared their businesses, passions, and creative visions — and WOW, did they deliver.

We’re endlessly proud of these brilliant humans for showing up, taking risks, and absolutely knocking it out of the park. Spokane, keep your eyes on these folks… they’re making moves.

Huge love to our Creative Enterprise coaches and co-instructors, Lu Hill () and Katie Staib, for guiding this year’s cohort with care and encouragement every step of the way.

And a MASSIVE thank you to our program partners for helping make this program possible:

Johnston-Fix Foundation
Bank of America
Washington State Microenterprise Association
Greater Spokane Incorporated
Spaceworks Tacoma

To everyone who showed up and cheered them on, thank you. What a special night. 💫

The Table is Set is an exploration of the act of gathering around the dinner table through a whimsical lens. While studying abroad in Costa Rica, Liv Hebert Watkins' began to ponder the idea of home as it transcends geography, language, cultural variation and familial connection. Finding the beauty of communal life at the table. Her work invites you to come, gather, pull up a seat and experience the warmth of community.

This Thursday - Saturday is your last chance to have a seat at the table. Trust that this show is something special; you'll want to make the time to see the intricate beauty of each piece.

Gallery Hours: Thur-Sat, 4-7PM

BAZAAR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! 📣
Hey friends! We’re officially ONE MONTH OUT from our summer arts market, BAZAAR (!!!) and we’re still looking for some art-loving folks to help make the magic happen. ✨

Volunteering at BAZAAR is a pretty sweet way to support local artists + makers, hang with the Terrain community, and be part of one of our favorite days of the summer (while having a genuinely good time).

Want in? Hit the link to sign up! 💛 https://bit.ly/BazaarVolunteer2026

Big love to the incredible Andrea Williams 💛

Andrea has been showing up for Terrain since our 6th flagship event (yes, SIXTH 🤯), and if you’ve spent time around Terrain, chances are you’ve felt her impact. From being a Creative Enterprise coach and Terrain Talks panelist to becoming a monthly donor (literally swapping one night out a month to support the arts 🥹), she’s someone who truly walks the walk.

After 20 years in radio + advertising, getting unexpectedly fired turned into the start of something new: founding Happy Tails Marketing, now supporting artists, musicians, and small businesses across the PNW.

When she’s not outsmarting the algorithm, you can find her hanging with her chiweenies Anchovy + Martini, checking out local art, or exploring Spokane’s food scene.

Andrea, thank you for all you do for Terrain and our creative community. We’re lucky to know you 💫
