Trust Your Eye: How to Acquire Art in Seattle Artist Trust and Seattle Art Dealers Association teamed up for a panel and art tour at which curious, new and practicing art collectors alike were inspired and delighted as the lively panel explored diverse perspectives on looking at art, the joy of collecting, and developing a personal vision—while regaling the audience with stories of Northwest art and artists. All proceeds benefited Artist Trust’s grants and resources for Washington State artists of all disciplines. With Lisa Harris, Lisa Harris Gallery; David F. Martin, Martin-Zambito Fine Art; Herb Pruzan, Collector; Barbara Robertson, Artist; and Moderator Rock Hushka, Tacoma Art Museum.

Artist/inventor/engineer/ composer Trimpin shuns the hype and hyperbole of the commercial art world – yet his freewheeling sculptures and outrageous musical experiments are cherished by museums all over the planet. Filmed over two years, this cinĂ©ma vĂ©ritĂ© documentary feature follows the artist/inventor as he devises a perpetual motion machine, builds a 20-meter tower of automatic electric guitars, and collaborates with the Kronos Quartet on an outrageous world premiere. Trimpin was present for a post-screening discussion in which he took questions from the audience. All proceeds benefited Artist Trust's grant programs for innovative artists. :: Jini Dellaccio Book Launch & Birthday Bash Master photographer Jini Dellaccio took some of the most recognizable and iconic photos of 1960s rock bands, including Northwest musical legends the Wailers and the Sonics, as well as The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and many others. We celebrated Jini's 92nd birthday and the release of her new book, Rock&Roll Jini Dellaccio, at a big bash at the Crocodile Cafe. A musical tribute featured original members of the Sonics, the Wailers, and the Daily Flash, joined by the next generation of musicians influenced by the music of the 1960s, including the Tom Price Desert Classic, featuring former members of the U-Men, Monkeywrench, Gas Huffer and the Derelicts. Proceeds of book sales will be used to create a grant in Carl and Jini Dellaccio's honor, administered by Artist Trust. :: S'PIKEd!
