Virginia Jinny Wright played a pivotal role in the cultural development of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Along with her husband Bagley, Jinny (as friends called her) wanted to make Seattle and the Northwest a premier venue for the arts, generously supporting numerous cultural institutions including Seattle Art Museum. The upcoming exhibition, City of Tomorrow tells the story of the future-focused initiatives spearheaded by Virginia Wright. Landmark modern and contemp...orary paintings, sculptures, drawings, and photographs from the illustrious Wright collection are complemented by historical ephemera that trace formative moments and initiatives, including the organization of the Contemporary Arts Council that brought major contemporary exhibitions to the Fine Arts Pavilion in the 1960s before SAM had a department of modern and contemporary art. This special exhibition will be open at SAM from October 23, 2020 to January 18, 2021. Don’t miss this amazing part of Seattle’s art history.

Seattle Art Museum Supporters has kicked off our 2020-21 year! President Andrea Watson welcomed us to a new and unprecedented season with a membership wide ZOOM meeting on Wednesday. We had the great privilege of listening and learning from our guest artist speaker, Barbara Earl Thomas and Seattle Art Museum Curator of Modern Art, Catharina Manchanda. Barbara Earl Thomas spoke of her upcoming exhibition at SAM, The Geography of Innocence. Barbara began her talk with the... image, pictured, of Grace, 2019, cut paper and hand-printed color. She then said, What do I want? I want for our children because they are going to have to grapple with what we leave them." The Grace piece was inspired by the Don’t Shoot campaign. Barbara changed the words don’t shoot" to Grace because in her words, "I wanted Grace because it is in the moment of Grace we can pause and reconsider so it will change an outcome.

Thank you also to Koko Corbin and Malei Young for the amazing work on bringing us together in our first live virtual brunch. . . #samsupporters #seattleartmuseum #barbaraearlthomas #grace #supportthearts #localartists #seattleartist #seattleartmuseumsupporters #whatwelove See more
