NWArtistsToday2-1975-neg-13-1.tif

The Northwest Annual Exhibition (NWA) was a yearly exhibition of work by artists from the Pacific Northwest, held first by the Seattle Fine Arts Society, then the Art Institute of Seattle, and finally the Seattle Art Museum. Its first recorded exhibition was in 1914, and it continued for over sixty years until its final show in 1977. Its intention was to exhibit high quality works in a wide variety of artistic expressions, with a focus on painting and sculpture, and to give recognition to new talent in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
