Foray for The Arts is a Spokane-based traveling multidisciplinary event founded by
Greg Bem and
Sarah Rooney. The event is intended to provide a place for local artists of all kinds to perform with each other in order to collaborate, network, and gain experience. The first two hours will celebrate local writers solicited by Foray, and the final hour will be open mic. Writers interested in reading as part of the open-mic will need to arrive at the top of the event to sign up. Foray is known for traveling to local businesses and even local parks to present their events, in order to celebrate the unique variety of venues that Spokane has to offer while providing opportunities to connect with different parts of the community. This unique rooftop Foray hopes to give writers the exciting opportunity to share their work from a sky-high venue overlooking downtown Spokane.
Sign ups for the open mic portion will be available at the beginning of the event. Please note that the sign up list is limited, arrive early to reserve a spot directly with the hosts, Sarah and Greg.
Featured artists include:
Ciara Totton,
Robert Jenson,

This event is free and open to the public.
