Summer is in full swing and we've got so much going on! 

 

The Conductive Garboil Grant awards $3,000 to a Seattle artist who pushes the boundaries of art and has a connection to the Pioneer Square area. We're now accepting applications through 4Culture until August 17. 

 

The Seattle Art Fair is almost here! We're the sole beneficiary for the opening night Preview party. Purchase a Patron VIP pass to get a sneak peek of the art - all proceeds go to Artist Trust!

 

Join us for two exciting exhibitions happening at Galvanize, a co-working space for entrepreneurs. First, the opening party for the 2014 EDGE Graduate Exhibition is tonight! The show runs through July 23. Up next will be FEAT 2015, featuring artwork from most of our 2015 Fellowship recipients, July 30-August 2. More details about both below.

Have a great day!
