Current Exhibits

Discover the creativity and diversity of the Inland Northwest in “Rooted in the Palouse,” a new exhibition featuring the work of eight regional artists: Tyler Horton, Ray Esparsen, Jen Whitted, Kate Poole, Neil Cox, Rachael Eastman, Wendie Kause, and Kelsey Grafton.

Working across a range of mediums, techniques, and artistic approaches, these artists offer distinctive perspectives on what it means to live and create in the Palouse region. Together, their work celebrates the depth and diversity of our regional arts community and invites visitors to connect with the artists, their creative processes, and the places that inspire them.

The exhibition opens Tuesday, September 29, at the Center for Arts & History and will be on display through December 19, 2026. Join us for a public opening reception on Friday, October 2, from 5–9 p.m. during the Lewiston Downtown Artwalk. Featured artists will be in attendance for meet-and-greets and a live art demonstration, with live music, snacks, and drinks throughout the evening.

A new student artwork exhibition will also be featured during the run of “Rooted in the Palouse,” highlighting the creativity of emerging artists at Lewis-Clark State College.

Free and open to the public.
