Infinite Boxes © Dave BuescherARTIST: DAVE BUESCHER

Spokane area architecture intern and painter, Dave Buescher, brings in a selection of his newest pieces.  Describing his work Dave explains “we are surrounded by bold moves and vibrant color and my art explores this interaction. The fluid nature of paint and its ability to intermingle with elements both in a rigid and organic fashion are predominant throughout my pieces which creates remarkable outcomes.”

Singer/songwriter Karrie O’Neill will join us in the tasting room to perform some recognizable songs from the radio, as well as a number of her emotional and powerful original songs.  Come check out this incredibly fun and talented musician from 6:00 to 9:00pm.
