IN THE GALLERIES
ATTENTION ICON by Madison Mullen (WSU MFA THESIS SHOW)
Attention Icon explores the queer-female experience through digital and physical realities.
Making, Mending, Becoming: Native Embodiment through Reconstruction and Material Memory by Sloane Dyer (WSU MFA THESIS SHOW)
As a contemporary Native artist and woman, Sloane Dyer approaches her practice with a sharp awareness of the spaces she inhabits and the bodies they were built to exclude — her presence within them, she believes, is inherently political.
Rat Bastard University: Home Sweet Home by Branden Lawless (WSU MFA THESIS SHOW)
Rat Bastard University : Home Sweet Home is an introduction to an absurd cast of characters and sidekicks. The ceramic sculptures explore archetypal personalities of real life lovers, friends, professors, and adversaries.
OOPS! All Cats by Ink and Honey Studios
In an effort to celebrate the short but impactful lives of the feline companion, the artists featured have created wonderful works including cats.
I Want to Believe What You See by Zayden Tomson
This work revolves around the artist’s past and present, human connection, and spirituality.

Ecstatic Dance Party
April 25, 2026 | 2-4 PM | 120 E 1st St N Ste 115 | $10
Welcome to ecstatic dance, led by Jordan Debbrecht!
No phones. No judgement. Just movement.
From 2:00 - 4:00 PM on April 25th, join us in a safe space and move your body in whatever way comes naturally. Come to have fun, express yourself, and connect with others (but only if you want). All ages are welcome.
We will set our intentions as a group, dance for one hour, then share our experience at the end.
Ecstatic dance is free-form social dance, designed to be like a moving meditation rather than a performance. It can serve as an emotional catharsis, a healing tool, and a way to tap into your inner joy.
Release your inhibitions and come play!
