🎨✨ FIRST FRIDAY AT FIRST AVE ✨🍸
This week has been incredibly heavy for Spokane.
So many of our neighbors, friends, families, first responders, and members of our community have been affected by the fires. In the middle of a difficult week, we believe there is still value in coming together.
So First Friday is on.
Join us this Friday as we celebrate the work of Ulysses Mireles with an artist reception at FIRST AVENUE COFFEE. He will have a live communal painting for the community to engage with. Come make art with us.
And when we say his work is big, we mean BIG. These are massive, large-scale pieces that take over our walls and really need to be experienced in person.
Ulysses’ exhibition, “Femme Magnifique,” explores that unforgettable look from a beautiful woman that can make you fall in love, even if only for a moment. Across eight carefully selected portraits, Ulysses captures the presence, emotion, and quiet power behind that moment.
🎧 DJ Cosmic Cadet will be here too.
Cosmic Cadet will be bringing music to the space throughout the evening.
Come meet the artist. Listen to some music. Have a coffee or cocktail. Talk with your neighbors. Support a local artist. And maybe, for a couple of hours, simply enjoy being together.
Spokane has been through a lot this week. Let’s keep showing up for each other and keep our city lifted up. ❤️
This is a free event to experience Ulysses art!
We’re open late until 7 PM and serving our expanded beverage menu, including:
☕ Coffee cocktails featuring our house-made coffee liqueurs
🥃 Craft coffee cocktails with Washington's First Distillery
🍷 Wines from Townshend Cellar
🍺 Local b**r from Lumberbeard Brewing
Art. Coffee. Cocktails. Music. Community.
