ReCreation

Spending time outdoors often leads us to unforgettable places and leaves lasting impressions. The natural world is so engaging and transformative that people have developed countless ways to experience it—through hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, and more. For many, these activities are life-giving. It’s no surprise that such powerful experiences also inspire artists, offering direct access to the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
Artists, like outdoor enthusiasts, understand the rewards that come from pushing beyond boundaries—whether creative or physical. Both require patience, stamina, and skill. This exhibition celebrates artists whose passion for outdoor adventure is woven into their creative practice, revealing the depth and meaning that emerges when art and outdoor recreation intersect.

WAYYY OUT HERE
LGBTQIA+ Art Show

Methow Pride and Fireweed Printshop are proud to present WAYYY OUT HERE, a queer-led art exhibition opening June 3 at The Confluence: Art in Twisp. This showcase highlights the vibrant work of LGBTQIA+ artists of all ages, with interactive installations, original artwork, and heartfelt community contributions.
Born from the newly launched Methow Pride Center at Fireweed Print Shop, WAYYY OUT HERE is more than an art show—it’s a sanctuary of expression, reflection, and connection. From hand-painted blown-glass butterflies donated by Lucid Glassworks to a shattered mirror wall inviting viewer participation, this exhibit invites everyone—especially allies—to witness, support, and celebrate the diverse and beautiful spectrum of queer existence.
“This exhibition is an invitation to participate,” says curator Laura Gunnip. “Whether you’re a queer artist, writer, community member—or a treasured ally—there is space for you here.”
Together, let’s celebrate queer joy, resilience, and creativity—WAYYY OUT HERE.
