Spokane Creatives Emergency Relief

Spokane Creatives Emergency Relief

Spokane Arts is conducting a fundraiser for the creative community in Spokane, and they need your help.

Many self-employed and freelance artists’ primary income to pay rent and buy food/medicine comes from gigs and events that are cancelled due to COVID-19. This includes musicians, photographers, teaching artists, authors, actors, and many, many others. They are raising money to benefit local individual creatives during this difficult time. Every penny donated to this fundraiser, after the fees taken out automatically by the platform, will be distributed directly to local professional artists and creatives. The goal is to crowdsource funding that will be distributed *directly* to individual creatives.

To learn more and to donate, visit the Spokane Arts Artist Relief Fund page.

DivisionConnects Transportation Study

DivisionConnects Transportation Study

DivisionConnects, a collaborative two-year transportation and land use study, will focus on opportunities and challenges that come with the planned completion of the North Spokane Corridor (NSC).

Provide your feedback in this online survey.

DivisionConnects is led by Spokane Regional Transportation Council and Spokane Transit Authority, in partnership with Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Spokane, and Spokane County, to study Division Street from its downtown connection in the south to the Newport Highway and North Spokane Corridor past the Y in the north. The broader study area will include other north-south travel corridors (e.g. Hamilton Street and the future completion of the NSC) to understand how these travel corridors relate to Division Street.

It’s Hollywood’s Golden Era and the stars walk the red carpet for the major movie premier of 1947. Guests will be immersed in the red carpet experience and watch the story unfold throughout the evening. It’s a comic takeoff on major film stars of the era and their rivalries. As in all murder mysteries, something goes wrong and a star ends up dead. 

Following the theme, those attending the are encouraged to dress up for their own red carpet experience. Photo opportunities will be available and prizes awarded for the best costumes from the era as well as solving the mystery.

It is hoped this theatrical event is the first of many theatre performances to take place at the Garland District venue.  

The Red Carpet Murder is a fundraiser to supply food and essentials for participants in Spokane’s Community Court.
