Create Together, Stay Together
Dinner and drinks can wait—don’t miss these unique opportunities to get artsy together with guidance from local creative geniuses. Whether through movement or creating something with your hands, learning together makes for meaningful and memorable experiences.
Figure Drawing at Terrain Gallery
Sunday afternoon figure drawing classes at the Terrain gallery space use live models, beginning with a few short poses and moving to longer drawing times as the session progresses. Each class costs $15 and is open to artists of all skill levels who are 18 or older.
Terrain is known for its once-a-year bash that’s part art exhibit, part concert and downtown Spokane’s biggest party of the year. Now, the organization has its own gallery space year-round in which it hosts classes and rotating exhibits by local artists.

Dance, Language and Culture at Satori
Tucked behind the new Texas Barbecue and Whistle Punk Brewery in downtown Spokane, Satori takes a little effort to find—but it’s well worth the search. The studio offers open dance, group classes and private lessons in tango, bachata, salsa and more.
But it’s not just about dance: the free language classes focus on song lyrics, opening the door to a better understanding of the culture where the dance originates.
