Jazz Jam Quintet will be performing live music on stage from 6-8pm. Wine, beer, and cider are available for purchase for patrons 21 years or older.

The Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center is open free to the public 4-8 PM on the First Friday of each month.

The 2024 Juried Art Show & Sale will be judged by Velocity Made Good founder Perri Lynch Howard, CWU Campus Visits Manager Sarah Haven, and WVMCC Board President Stephanie Stauffer.

Perri Lynch Howard: Perri Lynch Howard is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound. Her work investigates the passage of light, sound, and signal through landscapes on the front lines of climate change—a phenomenology of place. Howards’ art has a global reach through exhibitions and sound installations completed in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the Arctic Circle, and in South India as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar. She is a volunteer field recording ambassador with Quiet Parks International, an avid adventurer, and a private pilot.

Sarah Haven: While studying theatre as an undergrad, Sarah Haven took a ceramics class on a whim, and it changed the course of her life.  In 2003, she relocated from Ohio to Washington for graduate school. Enthralled with the Pacific Northwest, she decided to stay upon completing her MFA. After 12 exciting years at Gallery One Visual Arts Center, a nonprofit in downtown Ellensburg, Sarah recently returned to work at Central Washington University.  She relishes spending time-pinching pots in her basement studio as well as serving on the board of the Washington Clay Arts Association. Sarah’s pots are available at Saltstone Ceramics in Seattle, WA, and Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN. 

Stephanie Stauffer: Stephanie currently serves as board President of the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center. For close to twenty years, she has worked as a lawyer, and is currently employed by Starr Ranch as its general counsel. Although Stephanie’s personal artistic skill is limited, she appreciates creative expression in all forms and is immensely appreciative for the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Juried Art Show.
