DaVinci does Spokane!

Spokane's MAC museum is hosting a major DaVinci exhibit over the summer. Included are numerous mechanical models based on his drawings and replicas of his masterpieces (since many of the paintings are frescos, impossible to move). The show runs June 3 to September 5. Any artist should get the chance to see this exhibit.

Tickets are $11 for MAC members, $18 for non-members, and all students $8.00. Tickets must be purchased through Tickets West, or 800-325-SEAT. To find out more, see the MA website.
