Karen Mobley: October artist in residence at The Lab at North Spokane Library

Posted on September 13, 2017 at 6:00 am

We’re hosting four local artists in residence at The Lab at North Spokane Library this fall. Each month, the artist in residence provides hands-on learning opportunities for community participation and also creates art in The Lab.

Everyone is encouraged to stop by to see the displays of artist’s artwork changing each month and meet each artist. You can have a conversation about the artist’s process, the artwork currently under creation, and art in general while the artist works.
