From Here

In 2019, Terrain moved our retail storefront from a 600 sq. ft. retail space to Spokane's urban shopping mall Riverpark Square. This new location offers 1.5 million of foot traffic per year, increasing our impact and sales for local artists featured in the store.

Terrain Gallery

In March of 2020 we had to close our doors to the public due to COVID. Even with the closure of our gallery we still held 9 different gallery shows. Some shows were available only online and in August of 2020 we opened back up for an art auction to support the gallery.

Additional Programs

In 2020, we branched out with partners on a large-scale Black Lives Matter mural at 244 W. Main Ave. - a partnership with Seven 2 and 14Four - commissioning 16 different BIPOC artists to create what is now the largest sign in Spokane.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
