Darya Pilram, artist and Economic Recovery Corps Fellow

On this episode we sit down with Darya Pilram, an artist and Economic Recovery Corps Fellow.We discuss both of those roles, starting with her very first solo exhibition titled "Embracing Imperfection: The Art of Kintsugi Repair." It runs at Spokane's Trackside Studio until May 30, 2025.Then we dive into her work helping to establish creative districts in Garland and Hillyard in Spokane well as in Coeur d'Alene and Kellogg, Idaho.Along the way we talk about the dynamics of Washington State's nearly $120 billion creative economy and why the creative economy itself can be such an elusive concept.We'll also get into Creative Mornings, a new venture here in Spokane that helps creative-identifying individuals connect with each another as well as the wider world.A huge thanks, as always, to our founding sponsor, Rogue Heart Media SPC.
