I am deeply honored by this feature in The Seattle Times Arts & Entertainment section as Woodside/Braseth Gallery celebrates its 65th anniversary year.
While the article includes my personal story, it is truly a tribute to the remarkable artists, collectors, staff—especially our Co-Director, Anthony Erwin—and friends who have supported our gallery since 1961. It is also an opportunity to remember our founder, Gordon Woodside, whose vision, dedication, and unwavering belief in artists established the foundation upon which we continue to build today.
I am grateful to The Seattle Times for recognizing this milestone and thankful to Gayle Clemens the writer, Art historian and educator and everyone who has been part of our journey over the past six and a half decades.
With sincere gratitude,
John Braseth
Woodside/Braseth Gallery
Seattle's Woodside/Braseth Gallery is now one of the oldest continuously run galleries in the United States.
