American Impressionism: Treasures from The Daywood Collection

October 9, 2022 - January 8, 2023

American Impressionism features 41 extraordinary paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artworks display the distinctive Impressionist brushstroke along with subjects ranging from scenes of the bucolic countryside to intimate portraits of friends and neighbors, reflecting the transition of American artists from more formal academic styles and subjects to the modern influences of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.

Gift of a Moment: Lila Shaw Girvin

October 9, 2022-March 12, 2023

Through ethereal, abstract paintings blending inner and outer worlds, this retrospective exhibition illuminates the artist’s deeply personal encounters with artmaking over nearly six decades. Living and working in Spokane since 1958, Lila Shaw Girvin has used vibrant color, form and unassuming techniques with oil paint to explore new dimensions of feeling - a process largely guided by intuition and informed by the expansiveness of nature. This work represents a figurative space in which artist and audience meet to experience each moment that arises with presence and spontaneity.

Savages and Princesses: The Persistence of Native American Stereotypes

November 10, 2022-March 19, 2023

Savages and Princesses brings together twelve contemporary Native American visual artists who reclaim their identities by replacing stereotypical images that fill the pop culture landscape. Using humor, subtlety, and irony, the telling is always honest and unequivocal. Images and styles are created from traditional, contemporary, and mass culture forms.

Curated by ExhibitsUSA, based on an exhibition curated by America Meredith, Cherokee Nation artist and arts writer.
