Greetings!
Greetings and hope your summer is going great! We've got some fun parties and events coming up, and would love to see you there!
The Seattle Art Fair is around the corner! We're the official beneficiary for the opening night Preview party. All proceeds directly benefit Artist Trust, so anyone who buys tickets to the event helps support Artist Trust, so buy a ticket to get a sneak peek of the art, and enjoy complimentary food and beverages!
Our 2015 Fellowship recipients are also jumping into the Seattle Art Fair mix with a satellite party of their own! The exhibit will be June 30-August 2 in the Galvanize space and feature art from some of our 2015 Fellowship recipients. Come check it out!
Finally, there's still time to apply for our new Program Director position. The search will be ongoing until we find the perfect match, but special consideration will be given to letters of application and résumés received by midnight July 6, 2015.
Enjoy the holiday weekend!
