Longtime star Seattle gallery owner Linda Farris died after a long fight against cancer. “Linda was one of the most significant shaping forces for contemporary art in the history of Seattle. She nurtured artists and nurtured public appreciation for their work. Her gallery was not just an exhibition space but also a site of a dynamic dialogue about art that brought people together. The Contemporary Art Project characterized the imagination and flair she brought to everything she did and is one of her great legacies.”
