Thanks to all who came by our Annual Book Sale in Seattle's Pioneer Square last week! You helped us raise over $1,500, the equivalent of a Grant for Artist Projects (GAP)! Huge thanks to Greg Kucera Gallery for lending sidewalk space, Foster/White Gallery for providing tables (and otter pops!), and many other galleries, museums and individuals for generous book donations. Thanks also to our fabulous volunteers for helping everyone who stopped by go home with a treasure!

Jini Dellaccio Photographs Benefit Artist Trust

Don't miss this special showing of photographs from the Jini Dellaccio Collection. All sales of prints and any donations will go in her honor to the Carl & Jini Dellaccio Scholarship Fund at Artist Trust.

Jini Dellaccio was more just than an incredible photographer, best known for her iconic portraits of famous musicians including Neil Young, Merrilee Rush, The Sonics and The Wailers. As a teen during the Great Depression, Jini played sax with the "Girl Groups" of the era, giving her a lifelong affinity for the scruffy musicians that would become the focus of her work as a master photographer. Her iconic images of seminal Northwest rock 'n' roll bands from the early- to mid-1960s capture the aesthetics and attitudes of these influential groups. 
 
Jini was also an enchanting, dynamic, generous and joyful friend to many, including Artist Trust. Her generosity continues: her estate requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Carl & Jini Dellaccio Scholarship Fund at Artist Trust. Thank you, Jini!

Meet the Artist: Aaron Grad
For his Meet the Artist event, 2014 Fellowship recipient Aaron Grad offered a concert and talk for residents at Sunrise of Bellevue, an assisted living facility. The program centered on the electric theorbo, the instrument Aaron designed and built, as well as the music he wrote and arranged for it, a song cycle titled Old-Fashioned Love Songs. 


Artist Trust's Meet the Artist program is an integral component of the annual Artist Trust Fellowships. Every Fellowship recipient presents an event outside of their geographic area of residence or to a community that would not ordinarily have access to their work. Meet the Artist bridges our artistic community with the diverse communities in Washington State, increasing awareness about the vital roles the arts and artists play in our culture.
