The Minutes
2026-01-24 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-01-24 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-01-23 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-01-22 19:30 - 21:30 | Numerica PAC, 123 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
The Minutes
by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts
The Minutes is a razor-sharp, hilarious and dark drama that peels back the facade of small-town city council meeting to reveal the unsettling truths simmering beneath everyday civic life. What begins as a routine session quickly unravels into bureaucratic dysfunction, personal attacks and the occasional diatribe about closer parking, cheese crackers, and pepper jelly. Underneath it all is a tense and biting examination of tradition, power, and the stories communities tell themselves to justify who they are. With Letts’ signature blend of humor, suspense, and social critique, The Minutes exposes how democracy can be both absurdly petty and deeply dangerous, and how most meetings probably could’ve just been an email.

middlelife ii: train songs / rajah bose
2026-01-02 09:00 - 2026-02-27 17:00 | MAC Gallery, 1300 Fifth St, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
This show will be installed at the MAC from January 2nd – February 27th.
TWO FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTIONS: January 2nd and February 6, 5:00–7:00pm
Jan 2 — show opening & artist talk
Feb 6 — show & musical performance

Spokane artist Rajah Bose excavates the images he’s amassed to create an installation of photos, videos, musical compositions, and sculptures for the MAC Gallery. The second iteration of his middlelife series, middlelife ii, focuses his lens more directly at the opposite sides of the world from where his parents originate — his father the son of a Indian factory worker and his mother the daughter of a Wisconsin farmer.

photo album: corrupt volume / middlelife / Whitworth

middlelife ii
My memory is made of images — some I’ve made, some I’ve taken.

These hundreds of thousands of moments captured on silicon sensors are stored and ready for recall, if I can locate them. Many of those images haven’t been seen since they were created, transferred to hard drives and stacked on shelves like the photo albums my mother made of our family growing up, just more dense.

For middlelife I searched those albums, those hard drives, for every photograph that was saved. Many reminded me of the moments when they were created, experiences I had otherwise not recalled. I also found that many held no memory for me at all. This was an unsettling experience for a mind that has come to rely on the camera as the memory’s assistant.

For a photojournalist the image is proof, it is the truth, but whose? Two people will not share the same ‘thousand words’ about any given photograph. Is it reasonable to think the image is somewhat subjective, and bends to the viewer’s expectation? Photographs, regardless of how they’re made, are no more true than any story we’ve told ourselves.

Documentary images create a duality of memory between the photographer and subject. Part of my subjects’ lives are forever intertwined with my own. It’s this memory creation through photography and documentation that encircles all of our lives, a perpetual borrowing from one another. We are not merely creatures of our own creation; everything we are, down to our own memories, is borrowed from another.

Those images remember me and remember for me. I trust them because they tell me who I believe I am. They’re proof I was here, though they’re far from the truth.

perpetual memoria / middlelife / whitworth
the sequel
This show is the second installment of the middlelife series. The first iteration introduced the theme — the photographics of memory through a retrospective of my photojournalism work. middlelife ii, similarly compares origins, but through the lens of the places where my family originates.

My parents are from opposite sides of the world — the son of a Indian factory worker and the daughter of a Wisconsin farmer. They continue to shape me in my attempts to know them by understanding where they come from. In my travels through the countries where they were born, I’ve documented the moments around me as I’ve passed through by foot, or car, or train, with little additional planning or direction.

These otherwise disconnected photographic observations through the countryside and cityscapes of India and America are made common by their pairings with one another. These diptychs sourced from two very different places create a new comprehension at their intersection. Somewhat inter- dimensionally, this is the place where I’m from.

sound of music
Inspired by travels and stories gathered along the Indian and American rails, Rajah recorded The First Sounds, an album of train songs that accompanies this show. The album may be listened to in the gallery on available headphones and will be performed live during the First Friday openings.

The First Sounds album may be found at Raj Saint Paul and heard wherever you listen to music.

artist bio

Rajah has worked as a newspaper photojournalist, a commercial photographer, and a filmmaker. He lives in Spokane with his wife Ellen, a fellow artist.

The soundscape will start at 5:00 and repeat again at 6:00, listeners are free to come and go at any time during the piece.
Nick McMahan is a nature sound recordist and environmental advocate known for his unique ability to capture the rarity of the natural world through the art of sound. A commitment to environmental education and awareness, he is the Director of Quiet Trails for Quiet Parks International (QPI). With a deep-rooted passion for nature and the environment, McMahan captures immersive experiences that inspire mindfulness, connection, and a renewed commitment to preserving the planet.

Film & Lecture Series: Fish War
2025-11-13 18:00 - 20:00 | Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center, 127 S Mission St, Wenatchee, WA, United States
The 2025-26 Film and Speaker Series presents: Fish War
The Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center is honored to host a screening of the award-winning documentary Fish War on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 6 PM.
Film Description:
When the state of Washington made it illegal for tribes to fish for salmon in their usual and accustomed places, it was a declaration of war. FISH WAR follows the tribes’ fight to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights. A landmark court case in 1974 would affirm the tribes’ treaty rights and establish them as co-managers of the resource, but the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest still hangs in the balance.
Following the screening, the Indigenous Roots and Reparation Foundation (IRRF) will host a Q&A panel discussing the impacts of this film.
Admission is free for both WVMCC and tribal members and $5 for non-members. Registration is recommended.
Funds from this event support the Museum’s mission-serving programs, including featured exhibits, MakerSpace, robotics clubs, field trips, student scholarships, community cultural events, film and speaker series, and collection restorations.
Fish War was produced by Wenatchee-based documentary film company, North 40 Productions. The 2025-26 Film & Speaker Series is supported by the City of Wenatchee and the City of East Wenatchee.

Poetry Open Mic
2025-11-13 16:30 - 18:00 | WA
Dear Poets and Poetry Lovers,

Due to the availability of Brian’s studio this month, we’ve shifted our Third Thursday Poetry Open Mic to the Second Thursday.

The details remain the same:

WHEN: Thursday, November 13 4:30-6:00

WHAT: read your own poem(s), or someone else’s, or just listen

WHY: because poetry is soul-food

WHERE: Brian’s studio is located on Columbia Street between Yakima & Kittitas Streets

I suggest you park on Wenatchee Ave., walk down to Columbia, and then walk through the metal gate. Straight ahead you’ll see some stairs and a metal door. You have arrived! Ring the doorbell and someone will let you in. (It may take a few seconds.)

Feel free to bring snacks, a beverage (alcoholic or non), and friends.

We like to chat, laugh, discuss and be inspired by poetry and by each other.

Donations help Brian keep the lights on – please consider expressing your thanks to him for the venue.

I hope to see you there!

Navigating Untold Stories: A Historical Fiction Workshop
2025-11-08 14:00 - 17:00 | The Wells House, 801-817 Nelson Ave, Wenatchee, 98801, United States
Navigate untold stories in this historical fiction workshop at the Wells House!
On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2-5 PM, explore local stories from our shared past at the Historic Wells House, with local English instructor, Zach Eddy, and learn new techniques to help guide you to a place of discovery, while you navigate the blurry line between fiction and non-fiction.
Discover what stories hide in the gaps of the historical record. How did W.T. “Bill” Clark feel when he returned to Wenatchee dirt poor in the spring of 1933, nearly thirty years after irrigating our Valley? What did the tense conversations sound like, as the passenger train moved in and out of a smoke-filled Wellington tunnel, some deciding to hike out in waist-deep snow before the deadly 1910 avalanche fell? What did David Thompson think to himself as he navigated the pre-dammed Columbia, floating for the first time into what is now present-day Wenatchee?
Students will discuss who gets to tell the stories and why they matter today. If you attended this class before, this will be a whole new adventure.
This workshop costs $10 for WVMCC members and students and $20 for non-members. Registration is required.
Zach Eddy received his MFA in Poetry at the University of Idaho. His writing has appeared in Outskirts Literary Journal, OneArt: The Book of Jobs Anthology, Northwest Review, The Confluence Magazine, and elsewhere. He teaches English Composition and Creative Writing at Wenatchee Valley College, and he is the Operations Coordinator for the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center.
Disclaimer: This class is located on the Wenatchee Valley College Campus at 625 Nelson Avenue. Unfortunately, the Wells House is not currently ADA accessible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ellen Picken: 13 Senses
2025-11-07 08:00 - 2025-12-12 17:00 | WA
FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION Friday, December 5th, 5-7pm
Spokane artist Ellen Picken engages multiple senses through her paintings and interactive sculptures, exploring complex themes of existence, ritual, and nature. Meaning emerges not only from the symbolic colors and shapes in her paintings but also from the carefully chosen materials she uses to create her handmade paints. Personally meaningful substances collected from significant places—such as willow ash, sandstone, eggshell, copper, salt, brick, pinesap, beeswax, rust, alluvial sand, deer bone, and iron oxide—are ground up and used to make her colors, deepening the experience of the works.
The seasons are the Ritual. Our rituals uphold the original. They bring us into rhythm with the First and Ongoing Dance.
These are the four trees that guided my life. The Maple, Ponderosa, Willow, and Mulberry of Antilon Creek. They taught and protected my cousins and siblings; made work and provided rest for my parents; gave, whether anyone was aware of their offerings or not. Their gifts were too obvious for me to ignore.
There are two approaches to the paintings: the symbolic or the material. Symbolically they represent different aspects of a whole personality (vulnerability/protectiveness, intro/extraversion etc.) Materially, like the living trees, the paintings are made of the same elements of the Earth but take different forms. The unique forms reveal understandable aspects of the overwhelming whole. In a graspable way, they show us how to be in accordance with the cycles of life. That is their gift.
You have to be able to trust your inner voice to hear theirs. The Questioning Rounds sculpture in the center of the room is a tool for you to use to communicate with the paintings and yourself. Each tree will answer your question according to its(your) nature. Spin the disks. Wherever they stop in front of you, ask a painting/tree the question with your thinking, feeling, or intuitive center in your head, heart, or diaphragm. See how the answer changes according to who you ask, and from where your question originates within your physical/psychical Self.
These paintings incorporate or are entirely created with handmade paint. I collect minerals, bones, ash, and rust from meaningful locations; my great-grandmother’s former home, the forests our community helped to protect, the river that is our water-source, our city in disrepair. I transform the objects into pigment by grinding, drying, dissolving, or oxidizing then stir in oil, local beeswax and pine sap.
Ellen Picken Bio:
“Picken’s simultaneously organic and geometric abstractions are part of a long tradition of universalist, spiritual abstraction. Her works invite viewers to investigate ways of knowing and being, celestial and earthly, physical, and intangible.” – Spokane Arts
Ellen Picken (b. 1980) explores complex themes of existence, ritual, and nature, reflecting her deep engagement with the materials and landscapes that shape her practice. Best known for her monumental public artworks, Picken has created large-scale murals across the United States for prominent organizations like Adobe, Google, and NYC Department of Transportation. She has exhibited regionally and internationally at venues including Samsøn (New York, NY), Gage Academy (Seattle, WA), GlogauAIR (Berlin, GER), Lowell Ryan Projects (Los Angeles, CA), and Entropy Gallery (Spokane, WA). Picken holds a BFA in Printmaking and a BA in Visual Communication Design from Eastern Washington University. She resides in Spokane, Washington.

A huge thank you to the fantastic Lemolo staff for hosting us! Their
new fall menu launches this Friday, so come treat yourself while you
enjoy the art.
The show runs now through November 30, 2025.
Hope to see you at First Friday, November 7!
