Weaving Heritage Across Generations | Spokane News

Discover the vibrant, living art of weaving at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture with “Carrying Tradition: Basketry of the Columbia Plateau.” This stunning exhibition showcases never-before-seen baskets made from cedar, dogbane, wool, and bear grass—each telling a story of culture, use, and resilience. Featuring works by renowned artist Joey Lavadour and pieces stained with berry juice or used for cooking, the display celebrates weaving as a dynamic, generational craft. With hands-on classes teaching over 700 people in just nine months, the museum is actively preserving and passing down these ancient techniques—especially for urban Native communities in Spokane. More than a show, this is an invitation to witness, learn, and carry forward a tradition that’s been thriving for millennia.
