Connecting to the Spokane River

Spokane is unlike many modern cities in that a magnificent, shimmering river runs right through the city. Those who grew up here have admired the river’s beauty for years, though it also serves as a draw for those looking to relocate here. Long story short: In one way or another, almost everyone has a connection to the Spokane River. During two public sessions, community members are invited to come create their own watercolor image that reflects their personal relationship with water for a capstone project run by a group of seniors at Gonzaga University. This includes simple watercolor paintings as well as handwritten words and/or phrases connected to water. Once compiled, the contributions will be arranged into a larger piece depicting the Spokane River and displayed in the Saranac Commons.
