Community Foundation Announces Foundation of Art Award 2010

The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation just announced that artist and gallery owner Lisa Kinoshita is the winner of their Third Annual “Foundation of Art Award.”

The annual program was established by the Community Foundation to honor professional artists living and working in Pierce County. The award is possible thanks to a fund created at the Community Foundation to support the Pierce County art community. The previous two winners include Chris Sharp in 2008 and Jeremy Mangan in 2009.

This award for Lisa will result in commissioned art piece for the foundation that will be unveiled later this year.

An on-line gallery featuring all of this year’s nominees is available at www.gtcf.org/artgallery.

Congratulations to Lisa. You can find her at her gallery, Mineral, on Puyallup Avenue or online at www.lisakinoshita.com
