D.I.Y. Print Shop with Chris Bovey

Sat Sep 15  ·  7 - 9 pm

Learn to print like a pro at our D.I.Y Print Shop night with Chris Bovey — creator of the iconic Vintage Spokane Prints series. This is a free workshop, and it's also a "friend-raiser" — so you'll have the chance to purchase upgrades like t-shirts, fancy paper and extra supplies to support Spark Central (and take home some cool stuff). Either way, you'll leave with several pieces you've created yourself — and tons of new artsy skills! 

This program is free thanks to community support. No pre-registration needed!

Spark Salon 2018

January 19, 2018 at Barrister Winery // Doors at 6:30

Last year we launched Spark Salon, our annual fundraiser and paddle raise, to much success. Our 2018 event will bring video game developers Rand and Robyn Miller of Cyan Worlds back to their hometown of Spokane. They will sit down with Jess to share the story of creating their first big video game, Myst (which was the single best-selling PC game for a decade) and it’s sequel Riven, as well as their new ventures into Virtual Reality. Guests will be presented with the chance to hear how Rand and Robyn forged their path to a creative life, including the trials and joys along the way..
