Bellevue Art Museum Tour

Veronica Kaesemeyer, a docent at Bellevue Arts Museum, has generously offered to give EAFA members a tour of a current exhibit at Bellevue Arts Museum for EAFA members. The date for the tour is August 24th.

The exhibit is THE ART OF DISCOVERY: The Northwest Art Collection of the Junior League of Seattle. It is comprised of over 70 paintings and sculptures and features some of the most influential artists of the Pacific Northwest, including Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Dale Chihuly, Morris Graves, Jacob Lawrence, Sherry Markovitz, Mark Tobey, and George Tsutakawa. In all, 53 artists are represented and all art media are present in the exhibit. The dates of the works range from 1943 to 2009.

For more information about the exhibition, see http://www.bellevuearts.org/exhibitions/current/jr_league.htm. The Seattle Times also has a review of the exhibit here.

Roni stated that, "Among all the exhibits I view at the museum, this is one about which I am most enthused for EAFA members. This will be an interactive tour where we analyze and comment on the art together."

It sounds like a wonderful opportunity to view some fantastic art. Please RSVP if you plan on attending.
