Joe Tomlinson's "Shop Vac Filter Bags" series.
Barf bags. Styrofoam cups. Skateboard decks. Joseph R Tomlinson has drawn on many unconventional surfaces. Drink coasters, outlet covers, the undersides of drawers in countless hotels at which he's stayed while traveling for his Department of Defense job.

Find fresh, local produce and much more in Hayden.
Officially, Kootenai County Farmers Market is from 9 am to 1:30 pm, but for vendors like Killarney Farm's Ellen Scriven, those few hours belie years of experience, months of work and nearly half a week of preparation and breakdown for each Saturday market. Scriven, who helped co-found the market and currently serves on its board, describes her schedule.

"Beyond Imagination" by James Frye.
Despite an alarming top-down national trend to the contrary, inclusion is a good thing. An inclusive mindset — where all really means all — does two things, simultaneously acknowledging our differences and our sameness. It also advances the idea that we are stronger when there is more, not less. More connectivity. More empathy. More awareness.

You've seen her play bass in local bands, now get a chance to see Kristin Robbins' delightful art.
Funny haha, funny awkward, funny weird — find it all in artist Kristin Robbins' idiosyncratic images of everyday people doing everyday things. Dead pet portraits on the wall of an elderly couple's living room in a painting inspired by a documentary on pet cemeteries.

The gallery is settling nicely into its new space inside the Palouse Mall.
It's fitting that the new home for the recently reopened Moscow Contemporary art gallery is in a mall, that unique retail institution that continues to reinvent itself.

"When the River Becomes a Cloud" features art created by students in the Prescott School District of rural south-central Washington. | photos courtesy of EWU / DeepTime Collective
Picture an artwork. Does it oscillate, ambulate or otherwise move? Does it giggle? Or smile? Probably not, as most people picture a painting on a wall or sculpture on a pedestal when they envision art.

"Justice" contrasts the Stars and Stripes with this sculpture by Colville/Arrow Lakes artist Virgil "Smoker" Marchand.
It's a scary time of year, but not because of Halloween. Looming large in our collective consciousness is Election Day, Nov. 5, which this year is especially fraught, regardless of your party affiliation.

click to enlarge The MAC's marquee fall exhibit features more than 100 pieces of art by lifelong artist Joe Feddersen. Whether dangling from a bracelet or hung around the neck like an amulet, charms suggest inherent power, even if it's subtle. They're also emblematic of other things — people, places, events. The word "charm" can suggest playful beguilement, but also being tricked out of something valuable, such as one's land or possessions.

For Rachel Allen (Nimiipuu/Nez Perce), it was an atypical art exhibit at the Holter Museum of Art in Helena, Montana. Allen was a high school student at the time, living in Great Falls, where "cowboy artist" Charles M. Russell and other artists of his time defined standards of depicting the American West, including Native Americans.

At 83, artist and longtime art teacher Tom Askman has these wise words for would-be artists: "There are no rules in artmaking except for the one rule that there are no rules."Don't get hung up on technique or trying to emulate a certain style, says Askman, who taught studio art at Eastern Washington University from 1972 to 2022.
