As well as countless private collections throughout the United States

Revisiting decades of shows and publications, I remembered Seattle's creators’ history.

Once, I trimmed details to fit a mold, overlooking the contributions of countless artists and writers. Repeatedly I slashed out worthy efforts to fit into a defined page limit. Many group exhibitions and publications fade into obscurity, their legacies lost. I never kept a master list. I just kept editing away our history.

Listing more fully is a tribute to those who enrich our creative community. Giving artists shows, opening exhibition spaces, curating and connecting us, and writing about our work. Each of those gestures is so heartfelt.

When I search for shows and publications, I am led to other artists' websites because the shows only exist on their CVs. It has been a treasure hunt through digital archives and my stack of show cards and clippings. They reveal our interconnected stories. Each click unearths another show or publication, reminding me that art thrives in dialogue and collaboration. I am amazed to see who continues to exhibit work and how we deeply encourage and influence each other.

What each artist shows on their website is a fraction of what we do behind the scenes and all the art we’ve produced.

I have a deep well of gratitude for all the dedication we collectively have for art.

If something is missing, please let me know.
