This biannual event showcases a curated collection of handcrafted ceramics created by WSU Department of Art students, faculty and staff ranging from functional tableware and sculptures to unique collectibles. Organized by the WSU Clay Club, the sale offers an opportunity to explore the creativity of emerging ceramic artists and find distinctive pieces perfect for personal collections or holiday gifts.

Proceeds directly support student’s travel to the prestigious National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference. Arrive early to ensure the best selection—pieces often sell out quickly. Your purchase not only supports local students but also helps sustain the educational mission of the Clay Club.

C. Rae D'Arc is back to sign books!

A Book for All Seasons is excited to welcome author, Wendy J. Fox for a book signing for her new book, The Last Supper, coming this April! Come meet the author, purchase a book, and get it signed on Saturday, April 18th from 1-3pm at A Book for All Seasons.

The Last Supper follows three months in the chaotic life of Amanda, who has just turned 40, has two young children, and is searching for something more in her life. She's failed at being a momfluencer, she's failed at MLM entrepreneurship, and she’s living in terror of what to make for dinner.

Desperate for something more than the isolated world of her suburban home, but consumed by parenting, her illusory stability collapses when the cracks in her marriage finally split open so wide she sees a way out, and a pathway to reclaim her own creative and economic agency.

Rooted in the rich traditions of Panamá, a crisol de razas (an immigration program), the band’s sound is an embodiment of those diverse cultures, and its music encompasses the entirety of the Americas. The band interweaves styles as divergent as cumbia and blues, salsa, soul, and rock’n’roll – all boiled down into their own original sound.

The work of MAKING MOVIES includes collaborations with legendary artists like Rubén Blades, performances at major international festivals, and tours with notable acts such as Los Lobos, Ozomatli, Hurray For the Riff Raff, Maldita Vecindad, and Flor De Toloache, and has been featured on NPR.

Founder, Enrique Chi—a songwriter, musician, filmmaker, and activist—is also producing AMERI’KANA TV, a National Endowment for the Arts-funded documentary that explores an alternate history of American music and is set to release alongside their new studio album in 2026.
