Manic Moon and More Metro Woman loves to support our local arts community and was “over-the-moon” when given the opportunity recently to showcase an amazing women-owned gallery right in the Monroe District of Spokane. Manic Moon and More is the love child of a group of art-driven women who diligently work to maintain a space for local and regional artists to showcase their works.

Affectionately referred to as “the Moon”, this artist-run guild was formed a little over a year ago by founders; Michele Mokrey, Denise Steen, Shanda Woodward, Linda Malcom, Melinda Melvin and Joan Eaton. These amazing ladies formed a diverse group of artists who pooled their funds and creative energies together for the purpose of creating a warm and inviting art gallery with an emphasis on women’s art. Later, Kat Hill, Sigrid Morgan-Neil and Megan Holden joined the ranks as core members. In simple terms that means they joined the founding “labor of love” core team who manage the workings of the gallery.

The Moon is rising! To date, there are over 40 guild members and that list continues to grow.

All members showcase their work on a daily basis and work with one of the core members in the gallery two days a month. When you visit the Moon, everyone who greets you is an artist who comes in for the day and is lovingly referred to as “the keeper of the moon". The Moon only exists because the core members and loyal guild members are willing to give their time and energy to make it the success it is. Their common belief is that art is essential to our well being and adds greatly to the vitality of our community.

The Moon is more then a gallery. The ladies offer classes monthly which provide a variety of projects to meet everyone’s taste such as jewelry, Mandala, collages, drawing and painting. So you can see they really have something for everyone. Imagine having the opportunity to learn from one of these dynamic 6

Artisan Emporium local artists. You can find a schedule of classes on our website www.metrowomanmag.com/ Spokane or contact the Moon directly by calling 509.413.9101.

“Manic Moon and More: Our vision is to sustain a nurturing environment for the purpose of creativity, mentoring and unity.”
