A key member of the Edmonds Arts Commission since 2004, artist Pam Harold will be retiring from the Commission at the end of December. Harold, an avid watercolor artist, served two four-year terms as one of EAC’s visual arts representatives. Harold has been painting for 52 years – a hobby that turned into a career. She has taught painting and journal writing to both children and adults and lectured to many arts organizations in Edmonds and the Seattle area. She is a former member of Edmonds’ Gallery North, Edmonds Arts Festival Poster Artist, and a current member of Women Painters of Washington and Artists Connect. She has coordinated EAC’s exhibits at the Edmonds Library for a number of years and shows her own work in galleries in Edmonds and Seattle.
By ordinance, four of the 7 Arts Commissioners must be professionally engaged in the arts. The Arts Commission is seeking applicants to fill the vacancy Pam Harold will leave at the end of the year.

The application deadline has been extended to December 30. Call 425-771-0228, email Chapin@ci.edmonds.wa.us, or visit www.edmondsartscommission.org where you will find copies of both documents.
