Meet the Artist: Sharon Glenn
For her Meet the Artist event, 2013 Fellowship recipient
Sharon Glenn spoke with students at Big Picture Middle School in Burien about poetry and the cowboy life.


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.
