2010 SEATTLE DESIGN CENTER GALLERY

Artist Trust EDGE program graduates general information

Artist Trust’s EDGE Program is a comprehensive survey of professional practices offered through a hands-on, interactive curriculum that includes instruction by professionals in the field, specialized presentations, panel discussions and assignments.  My graduating class, the 2008 EDGE program in Port Townsend, WA provided participating artists skills and knowledge to apply successful practices to their art.  Upon graduation, the 2008 Port Townsend graduates combined the newly learned information in two 2009 exhibits of their artwork.  In 2010 it was decided to have two more exhibits - this time having a call to artists of EDGE graduates of any year.  This culminated in two shows  in a donated space in the Seattle Design Center.

RISE - April 2010
I Co-Coordinated and Co-Curated this exhibit

RISE was an exhibit with a mission, and showcased more than 100 original Contemporary Artworks from 26 EDGE graduate artists working in Photography, Painting, Sculpture, Encaustic, Bronze, Glass and Mixed Media.  RISE was artist conceived, designed and executed by 2008 Artist Trust Edge graduates and proceeds from both auction donations and gallery sales benefited the Rise n’ Shine Foundation which offers support programs for children and teens affected by HIV/AIDS.

SHINE - June - July 2010
I Coordinated and Curated this exhibit

SHINE was the second exhibit with a mission, and showcased a new round of original contemporary artworks from 18 EDGE graduate artists. Using the same gallery space at the Seattle Design Center and continuing the success,  SHINE was a second hanging of newly submitted artworks by artists who exhibited in RISE.  
SHINE proceeds  also benefited the Rise n’ Shine Foundation.
