First Friday at The Hive

Come check out The Hive during First Friday Art Walk!

The artists-in-residence (and one writer-in-residence) have been working for the last few months and invite the public to come see their progress during First Friday Artwalk! Come visit their studios and check out their work. Tours of the building will also be available. The creators at The Hive are:

Studio A - Gwendolyn Zierdt Muzzy is a fiber artist who works on a draw loom, incorporating QR codes and source code from the internet into the designs of her handwoven textiles. 

Studio B - Miguel Gonzales is a Chicano artist interested in building a Lotería of BIPOC leaders in Spokane as part of his goal of the development of gente in the region who have experienced, or are experiencing, language, culture, and indigenous heritage loss. Miguel shares his studio with The Hive's writer-in-residence Erin Pringle who is working on her next novel. She is the author of multiple short story collections and chapbooks as well as one other novel. 

Studio C - Shantell Jackson and Stefani Rossi are sharing a studio. They find that they are inspired by one another, and their art benefits from this interaction. Shantell works with painted, textured surfaces and is eager to scale her work up with the space the studio provides. Stefani wants to explore a greater scale in her clay sculptures and her paintings that feature careful circles and lines.  

Studio D - Shawn Brigman, PhD, an enrolled member of the Spokane Tribe of Indians and descendant of northern Plateau bands (sn?áyckst – sinixt, s?np??ilx – san poil, and tk’emlúps te secwepemc – shuswap), will explore skinning materials for application to sturgeon-nosed canoe interpretations from the Plateau culture region, as well as the recovery of handheld scale implements like basketry and salmon nets.
