Art Night! Art Swap!
2026-01-07 18:00 - 20:00 | Tokki Art Supply, 409 Oak St, Hood River, OR, 97031, United States
Join us once a month for a social evening of unguided art making. Participants will be encouraged to bring some supplies and a sketchbook to draw, paint or doodle! We will provide paper, pens and pencils and can provide prompts to get the creative juices flowing.
How this works is you can bring in used but clean usable arts and crafts supplies. This can be anything from paper, paints, brushes, beads, pencils etc. We will spread out the supplies on tables and people will be able to freely take what they’d like. This is meant to be a way for community members to redistribute art supplies to one another, so if you don’t have supplies to bring that isn’t a problem feel free to come and see if there’s supplies you could use.
We will also have a station set up to create small spiral bound books out of unbound papers, so if you have odds and ends of papers laying around that could be cut down and made into a small sketchbook feel free to bring that as well.
Date: Wednesday January 7th
Time: 6pm-8pm

ERIK KOSKINEN
He’s a lights-out guitar (player) and his band is as good as any band in the country. But he’s also a top-shelf writer, with a blade-sharp wit and love songs so real and tender they seem to transcend the form. I know of few writers whose relationship to their own landscape, in this case the rural north, is so elemental, and so integral. His songs feel like weather.
People know him in Minnesota, where most bar bands seem to cover at least one of his songs, but otherwise he’s still one of the best kept secrets in the country. He sings about an America that doesn’t get much play anymore, the one where the people at the bottom can’t quite get ahead, and where working people aren’t cartoon props in a culture war, but shrewd human beings living hard lives, and hard loves. His songs have the diamond-hard clarity and simplicity of Tom Petty, and like Petty, Koskinen can sing a literal statement without metaphor or ornament, and make it move like poetry. The spiritual hunger in rock ‘n’ roll that came from blues and gospel is still a hunger in these songs, and if you listen hard, you can hear that lean coyote voice – wary, feral, full of fierce delight – lighting up the wee hours from somewhere out on the prairie.
-Jeffrey Foucault
FORREST VANTUYL
Forrest VanTuyl is a songwriter, touring musician, and working cowboy from rural Washington State. His unique approach to songwriting is one equally indebted to the transcendental spareness of Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball as to his own experiences working with cattle and horses in the prairie and canyon country of Oregon and Washington. VanTuyl has worked as a backing musician and collaborator with critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Margo Cilker, become a regular fixture at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, shared stages with Sera Cahoone, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Corb Lund, and been featured by The New York Times, National Geographic, NPR, and KEXP. VanTuyl’s newest album Old Trails, released in September 2025 on Fossil Records, is peopled with characters just as concerned with the minutiae of feed trucks and fenceposts as with the enormity of their loves and longings. By overstuffing his songs with closely observed details of a modern-day cowboy’s work and life, VanTuyl is consistently able to find the beating heart at the center of his deromanticized American West.
