Visual Art Artists, Meet SAM Director
Posted by Jen Graves on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Last night was a first for Derrick Cartwright. He's run three other museums, and not once has anyone suggested he get together with the artists of the city.
"I thought, well, what are art museums for? Oh, right, art. Artists," said Roy McMakin, the artist who hosted a party for artists to personally welcome Cartwright to his post at Seattle Art Museum, and to ask him questions.
Dozens of artists were there, and even oldtime rabble-rousers Larry Reid and Charlie Krafft showed up, wearing Cheech-and-Chong name tags. ("I don't think I've seen Larry Reid out since Linda Farris's funeral," somebody quipped.)
It was a good night.
