Lynnwood
Convention Center and Schack Art Center
Announce New Partnership
(LYNNWOOD, WA) The Lynnwood
Convention Center and the Schack Art Center are excited to announce a new
partnership. The Schack Art Center will be facilitating the public artwork
curation at the Lynnwood Convention Center starting with the upcoming art
installation this July.
Founded more than 38 years ago as
the Arts Council of Snohomish County, the Schack Art Center is a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting and celebrating the arts for the enhancement
of community life. Today the Schack Art Center is the place to look at,
learn about, and create art in our region in their Everett venue, as well as
through local area exhibits.
"Curating exhibits for the Lynnwood Convention Center is an exciting opportunity
for the Schack to reach out to south Snohomish County and showcase even more
talented artists from our region," said Carie Collver, Schack Art Center
Gallery Director.
The Lynnwood Convention Center
displays artwork from local artists throughout its building. The
exhibitions are rotated twice a year and with each installation there is an
Artist Reception where the artists themselves can talk about their work and
answer questions from the public.The mediums vary from painting, photography,
and mixed media to contemporary quilting.
"Working with the Schack Art
Center - formerly known as the Arts Council of Snohomish County - further
cements the role of the Lynnwood Convention Center as a regional
facility. This partnership will result in expanded public opportunity to
see and experience art in Snohomish County," said Grant Dull, Lynnwood
Public Facilities Director.
A public Artist Reception will be held on September 22nd to
showcase the artwork displayed in the building and invite artists to speak
about their works. The art can also be viewed during regular business hours,
8:00am - 5:00pm, Monday- Friday.
To apply to display your artwork at the Lynnwood Convention Center, please
