Last Friday, 8,200 people filed into the old Cracker Company building for Terrain 8, the 8th annual one-day art extravaganza. Terrain started small 8 years ago and has grown into the largest showcase of emerging art in the Northwest. Yeah, larger than anything in Seattle or Portland, and people are pretty psyched. My Instagram feed is packed with #terrain8, #spokanedoesntsuck, and #weallbuildthis. Terrain might be an art event, but it’s more than that. It’s proof that Spokane is ready to step up and make this city something great.
