From oil painting to different types of fiber experimentation, you don’t want to miss getting to know this set of artists rotating through residencies at The Hive® this year! Stop by Wednesdays from 4-7pm during Open Studio at The Hive® to get a front-row seat to their creations in progress!
January – June
- P, B, & J Art Group. Patty Driscoll, Barbara Anderson, and Joni Michels are all multi-media artists who experiment with pastels, oil paints, gelli-printing, and even some 3D work. Sharing a studio allows them to learn from one another, inspire one another, and make a lot of art!
March – August
- Kelli Green and Brian Deemy will be working together on some large constructions for photoshoots. There may even be a giant bird’s nest in the studio!
April – September:
- Justus Brozek is a printmaker, MFA graduate from Texas Tech University, and an adjunct instructor at Whitworth University.
- David Jacobs makes sculptures from found objects.
- Jaime Rome Crain is a fine artist based in the Inland Northwest. Jaime works primarily in oil paint, and her work explores the beauty and power of the human mind through themes such as the human condition, memory, emotional sensitivity, and contemporary social issues.
July – December
- The Stranded Spinners group will be working on a breed study where they spin and dye fiber from different breeds of sheep. They are taking a deep dive into fiber knowledge and look forward to sharing their findings with the public!
September – February, 2025
- Carly Ellis and Lily Henderson are the 2nd cohort of EWU Emerging Artists. These recent BFA graduates are sharing a studio and working on their artwork in a post-graduate setting. Carly is a painter and also does beautiful, woven photographs. Lily makes dioramas that she then uses to film stop motion videos in.
October – March, 2025
- Darya Pilram practices the Japanese art of kintsugi. Kintsugi is an ancient practice to repair broken ceramics with tree sap and gold. Because the tree sap continues to cure for 100 years, the repair becomes stronger over time.
