The Sisko gallery is pleased to present a selection of drawings and fine art prints (block and etching mostly) created by a circle of artists/friends for one another. The artists are all associated with the University of Washington art department and important figures in Northwest history. The displayed collection was sent through the regular postal mail and during the holiday season, so the holiday season is an ideal time to view them again. The works are from the 1940’s through the 1980’s. This was a pre-email and pre-twitter-era culture of people sharing images and words in a very personal way.

The artwork comes from the collection of the DuPen family, and proceeds benefit the DuPen Foundation. Artist include: Glen Alps, Ambrose Patterson, Guy Anderson, George Tsutakawa, Alden Mason, Philip McCracken, Paul Horiuchi, Robert Sperry, Ray Jensen and Everett DuPen.

Our gallery artists have made some special small works for the small works show in addition to the existing collection. The artist include: Nina Akamu, Michael Bergt, Aldo Casanova, Mel Curtis, Everett DuPen, Bill Evans, Ray Jensen, Chris Kroehler, Rand Jack, Phil McCracken, Frank Morbillo, Louise Peterson, Bart Walter and Bill Weaver.
