COMMUNITY IMPACT “[The Pop-up Art Market] fueled my desire to turn the idea into a ‘real’ product. In less than two months I sold out of the cards and am now participating in Ventures’ [a nonprofit 257 that empowers aspiring entrepreneurs with access to business training and learning opportunities] version of Shark Tank called Innoventures. Artist Trust really made this happen for me and I can’t thank you all enough.” — Susan Robb, 2018 Artist Trust Pop-up Art Market participant In 2018, we continued our advocacy work for artists and their needs through (2002 Fellowship, 2008 GAP, 2011 Fellowship & GAP) our partnerships with Arts and Heritage Day in Olympia, Make Art Work in Twisp, and Cultural Congress and Confab in Ellensburg. In addition to participating in these major statewide arts- and artist-centered initiatives, we expanded our year-long offerings of programs in Eastern Washington with our Spokane Project and coordinated a pop-up art market on Seattle’s Amazon Campus.

Spokane Project • In 2018, we presented 10 programs serving 257 artists and community members and invested $6,000 in direct funding to artists in Spokane County.

• In 2019, we’ll continue our work in Spokane with support from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation and the Innovia Foundation. Our annual board retreat will be hosted in Spokane in September.

Artist Trust Pop-Up Art Market As one of our 2016-2019 goals is “to create deeper and broader connections between artists and communities,” we partnered with GREF (Global Real Estate & Facilities) to present the first Amazon Pop-Up Market. This event featured locally made artwork, arts activities, and live performances. Free and open to the public, the Artist Trust Pop-Up Art Market was organized with the intention of providing 20+ local artists with a platform to build audience, cultivate patrons, and connect with the broader community.
