Trail & Table

Private Tour: Shotgun Studios Art Gallery in Peaceful Valley
Friday at 3:00 PM | Meet at Ladder Coffee on Riverside - then we walk together to Shotgun Studios in Peaceful Valley
This Friday, we’re doing something a little different—a behind-the-scenes look at one of Spokane’s most eclectic hidden gems: Shotgun Studios, a fine art gallery and sculpture garden tucked into a historic 1901 shotgun-style house in Peaceful Valley.
We’ll meet first at Ladder Coffee to fuel up, then walk down to the gallery for a free private tour of this fascinating space. Shotgun Studios is both a home and an evolving work of art—featuring regional artists, architectural quirks, and a deep sense of Spokane’s past. It’s the kind of place you’d never find unless someone told you about it.
Expect:
— A relaxed pace
— Great conversation
— A chance to experience local art and architecture up close
— Maybe even a little time afterward to grab a drink or bite nearby
If you’re curious, creative, or just need an end-of-week reset that doesn’t involve a bar, this one’s for you.
Spots are limited so please RSVP if you’re planning to come!

For our third gathering, we’ll follow the trail—by bike or on foot—toward a local roaster, brewery, or winemaker’s space. The destination is still in the works, but the spirit of the event is clear: we’ll share a drink, hear a story, and get a closer look at how care and craft shape what we taste.
This won’t be a big crowd or a noisy bar scene. It’s a slow roll into something more grounded—something made with intention, by hand, here in Spokane.
As we move through the afternoon, hold this question:
What makes a place feel alive to you?
Let it shape the way you listen, sip, and notice—how the space feels, how the maker speaks, and how your body responds.
Bring:
— A bike or walking shoes
— Curiosity and questions
— A little room for something warm or cold in a cup or glass
RSVP to stay in the loop once the destination is confirmed.
This is about presence, not perfection. Come as you are.
