Spokane Arts supports arts and culture in the region through grant making, programming, advocacy, and professional development. They foster creativity by providing direct support to individuals, groups, and organizations in the creative sector, and promote local arts and culture to the wider community.
Spokane Arts works to support creative thinking and to beautify Spokane for all who live here. They work towards creating opportunities for community members to engage with arts and culture of all types, as well as, providing funding, resources, and training. They also advocate for the importance of art and shine the spotlight on what’s happening in arts and culture so that everyone in the region has an opportunity to see, make, learn, play and engage.
As part of a dynamic city arts environment, Spokane Arts is always looking for help installing, moving, and de-installing art. Volunteers may assist with gallery exhibitions, maintain Spokane Arts’ signal box art wraps, do touch-ups on murals (like the ones under bridges and overpasses), check on temporary art installations, etc. If you’re looking to get involved in a hands-on way, they’ve got a paintbrush or hammer waiting for you!
