The Lower Grand Coulee, a geographical area starting at Dry Falls, extending through Soap Lake and into the Quincy Basin, is geologically one of the more unusual places in the world. Like a precious stone, it embodies the fascinating history of the natural events that created it, and the diversity of people who have grown to love and appreciate its unique nature. The Ice Age Floods Institute characterizes the Dry Falls area as "what remains of the biggest waterfall on earth," created by cataclysmic geologic events. Soap Lake has the most diverse mineral content of any other body of water and is one of only 11 lakes like it in the world. For hundreds of years, people have traveled here to explore, study, dream and heal.
FLGC partners with other organizations to further the knowledge and appreciation of this area, promote creativity and build connections within the community. We're also exploring ways we can draw people to this area, so they too can enjoy a "Lower Grand Coulee experience."

Supporting Community Through Art
We are strong believers in the benefits of art and artistic experiences to a community. We also believe that supporting artistic experiences in schools (as well as our community) helps students with their self-confidence, self-understanding, and inventiveness. Music, theater and other collaborative art experiences can help students with their social and communication skills.
Art on the Avenues' Beauty of Bronze
FLGC sponsors the participation of Soap Lake 5th grade students in the Beauty of Bronze program, an Art on the Avenues’ annual arts education program that takes place in participating local schools. This program gives fifth graders the opportunity to work with a professional artist to create and exhibit their own small bronze sculptures. Beauty of Bronze is growing and serving more students each year.

Masquers Theater Summer Youth Program
The Masquers Theater Summer Youth Program is very popular here in Soap Lake. During the pandemic this program was paused, and we hope to see this renewed in the future. In 2019 some ambitious and creative Masquers Theater volunteers spent a week with over 30 kids, ages 8 to 15 years old, producing a musical. The musical was Adventures of a Comic Book Artist. At the end of the week, kids put on a performance, drawing the attendance of families, friends and theater lovers from throughout the local area. According to Masquers Theater, this production drew a record crowd, making for standing-room only in the theater!
Masquers Theater is an active and vibrant community, offering 5 shows per year! Auditions are open to the public, allowing anyone a chance to audition and stretch their creative wings. Visit their website to learn more about upcoming performances and auditions.
