SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON DECEMBER 21ST 5-8PM

Cascadia Art Museum is excited to announce the return of the highly anticipated annual exhibition of vintage Christmas cards by noted Northwest artists. For most of the 20th century, regional artists created original works of art to send to their fellow artists, friends and families to celebrate the Holiday Season. The cards were created using an array of various mediums such as woodcut and linoleum blocks; etching and drypoints; screenprints, as well as watercolor, oil, collage and other materials. This collection includes examples by many familiar names such as Paul Horiuchi and George Tsutakawa as well as some creative individuals now forgotten by time. Of special interest this year are a collection of rare original color blockprint cards by renowned Northwest artist Mac Harshberger (1900-1975) donated to us by the artist’s nephew. The Harshberger cards reflect Art Deco and Modernist design themes as they date from the 1920’s-through 1960’s. Get creative and make your own holiday cards at our card-making station.

Cascadia Art Museum is hosting the wreath: “Yayoi Kusama Inspired Dot Wreath” by Lynn Hanson and Martha Hurst. Make sure to stop in to see the wreath and meet the artists!

She met and fell in love with her now-husband, and then moved to Shoreline. Tying back to her love of nature, she attended the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington and became an environmental scientist for a local environmental consulting firm.
