TERRAIN (THE EVENT)

VISUAL • PERFORMANCE • DANCE • MUSIC • FILM • LITERARY

Always on the first Friday in October, Terrain is an annual, one-night-only, juried multimedia art and music event celebrating artists in the Spokane area.

Featuring new works by HUNDREDS of artists, and attracting thousands of attendees, it’s a celebration of new energy and fresh ideas from all over the artistic spectrum. From painting to poetry to interactive art and film, we try to showcase a little of everything that’s making the Inland Empire a more vibrant, cultural and beautiful place to live.

In 2025, we showcased 483 artists, with 196 original artworks and 1,000 prints sold — totaling $86,237 in art sales. In addition to staff, a team of 113 volunteers contributed 938 hours of their time, and 10,044 people attended, traveling from as far away as California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Virginia.

Applications for the next event will open in January 2026.

“Terrain has created more than just an enduring annual arts exhibit and music showcase. They’ve helped to build community. Local artists view Terrain as a launchpad to make a name for themselves and to make a living in the growing creative economy of the Inland Northwest. ”
