Arthur Loveless: Celebrating a Seattle Architectural Legacy

Book Talk and Signing

September 10th, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Arthur Loveless was a prolific, award-winning architect who made a significant architectural impact on every major Seattle neighborhood from 1907 to 1940.
 
Loveless designed dozens of stately homes in Seattle and the surrounding areas. Many of these homes have been lovingly cared for by stewards lucky enough to call each one “home”. Many of these homes were researched, documented, and photographed and can be found in the newly released book entitled Arthur Loveless: Celebrating a Seattle Architectural Legacy.
 
Copies of Arthur Loveless: Celebrating a Seattle Architectural Legacy can be purchased at the museum store. There is a limited supply available.

She Paints the Northwest: 20th-Century Women Artists and Historical Legacy

September 25th, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Women artists are largely neglected in the history of art, their careers and work often erased by time. Centering women painters featured in Cascadia Art Museum’s current and upcoming exhibits such as Doris Totten Chase, Z. Vanessa Helder, and Margaret Tomkins as well as others more widely recognized in the 20th century, this talk explores the historical reasons for why women artists were so slow to emerge onto the art historical scene, why their creative output was so often overlooked, and what is changing in the museum field to better this. 

Lane Eagles, PhD, is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington, where she serves on the faculty for the Master of Arts in Museology Program. Her research sits at the intersection of museums — particularly the specialization of art museums, curation, and exhibit development – and feminist art history.
