Current exhibitions  

Sally's World:
the art of Sally Jablonsky

October 16 - November 17, 2025

Meet the artist at first-Saturday Art Walk November 1 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and at her gallery talk Sunday, November 2, at 10 a.m.
 
Art making, for Sally Jablonsky, is a way to access joy and freedom of mind.  

Born and raised by musician parents on a farm just south of Spokane, Jablonsky has been shaped by growing up in wild places and by living with chronic illness. These days, her inspiration comes from many sources: plant science, looking at other artists’ work, going out into the woods and on river walks, playing fiddle music.
 
As the artist sees it, everything — everyone — is a part of nature. Jablonsky’s work explores the experience of being a body and an animal on the Earth — with no separation, and all of us in relationship.
 

Sally's World is sponsored by the Washington State Arts Commission, aka ArtsWA
