What happens when you put orchestra musicians inside a living, evolving art installation? We're about to find out.

Symphony & Art brings Washington Idaho Symphony musicians into Moscow Contemporary for an evening where live chamber music and visual art don't just share a space — they share a conversation. Guests will hear intimate ensemble performances performed among the work of artist Corrie Befort.

The backdrop is Loess, Befort's large-scale sculptural installation currently on view through May 30th. Commissioned by Moscow Contemporary through the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Loess is a reimagining of the Palouse landscape — its shapes, textures, and rhythms rendered in an ever-changing textile environment. Befort is an inter-media artist and choreographer whose work translates the physical world into performance, objects, and immersive installations. Her presence in the gallery makes Loess feel alive, and it's a remarkable setting for live music.

While you take in the music and the installation, enjoy wine, coffee, tea, and light refreshments in a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. This is an evening designed for exploring — moving through the gallery, experiencing the art up close, and connecting with fellow music and art lovers in the community.

Symphony & Art is part of our ongoing Symphony & series, which pairs live WIS performances with local arts, artisans, and unique venues around the region. Each event is a one-of-a-kind experience, and this one is especially not to be missed.

KPAC and Moscow Contemporary present Exhibition on Screen: TURNER & CONSTABLE as part of Frames of Reference, a series dedicated to showcasing art in film and celebrating artists across all mediums. Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Proceeds from the screening will support both nonprofit organizations.

Saturday’s, 1:00 - 4:00 pm

$200 for all 3 hour, 4 day classes

This will be a four week course to learn the basics of landscape painting.  Students will work on individual projects with input from me and each other. We will start with how to identify your subject and break up a picture to transfer to your canvas. We will also discuss how to use these skills in an outdoor setting, but due to the time of year, we will be working from a photograph. I will cover setting up your canvas including ideas on color, and how to use paint and texture to create depth. We will explore the different tools available to you including pallet knives and the different brushes and their individual attributes and functions; different mediums can be used to create different effects.  With each class only being 3 hours, students may wish to only create one canvas over the course of the class, or create one scene and create a series 2 or 3 paintings with different colors to see how the changes can affect the mood of the scene.
