In celebration of our arts community, the luncheon will be packed with performances by local artists and organizations, including composer-lyricist and musician Justin Huertas, visual artist Jeffry Mitchell, youth dancers with Northwest Tap Connection, Ahamefule J. Oluo (musician and writer recently featured at On the Boards), members of the Grammy-Award winning Seattle Symphony, and photographers from Youth in Focus.

ArtsFund has hosted a Celebration of the Arts Luncheon for over 30 years, at each event recognizing one or more recipients for their Outstanding Contribution to the Arts. Mary Pigott, 2019 honoree and ArtsFund Trustee, will return to the stage to recognize the artists, philanthropists, nonprofit, civic, and corporate leaders who, whether through their lifetime dedication or outstanding achievement, have made significant contributions to arts in the Central Puget Sound Region.

ArtsFund Trustee Karen Bergin will emcee the event.

Join us to look back at the past fifty years and look toward the future of the arts in our community! Registration closes Wednesday, March 4–get your tickets now!
