Many tickets remain for Sunday's Arts Festival under the trees of Pfingst Animal Acres Park

Sunday, June 27, 2021


Photos by Cynthia Sheridan

Almost everyone was able to find some shade under the trees at Pfingst Animal Acres Park in Lake Forest Park for the 2021 Shoreline Arts Festival Saturday, June 26, 2021.

It continues Sunday, June 27, 2021 from 10am to 5pm. Because of COVID-19 restrictions tickets are required. They are free and time limited to control the number of people in the park at any one time.

Register for your tickets HERE

The new picnic shelter made a perfect check in location

It was smaller than usual because of the venue. The art shows were held virtually. There was still a nice selection of vendor booths with hand crafted goods. The Irons Brothers construction company was back helping children make bird houses.

Musicians played on the sound stage while the audience sat in the shade.

Musicians played on the Arts Council's portable sound stage. The audience was a little farther away then usual, taking advantage of the trees for shade.


The vendors, under the white canopies, were in partial shade and partial sun. Next year the Shoreline Arts Festival will return to Shoreline Community College. But this year it worked out very well to hold the event in leafy, green Pfingst Animal Acres park.

Annual Gala for the Arts raises vital funds virtually and in person

Sunday, May 23, 2021


ShoreLake Arts would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s virtual and in person Gala for the Arts on May 15, 2021. Because of the amazing support from the community we were able to raise $95,393 for arts and culture!! This is absolutely one for the books. Thank you for making the event such a success!

Sunny weather made the event very pleasant

Held in person at the Nile Shrine Golf Club and simultaneously live streamed to more than 50 attendees at home, over 100 arts supporters enjoyed custom made take-home Gala boxes, happy hour with a specialty cocktail, plated dinner featuring filet mignon with prawns or portobello mushroom stack, a live and silent auction, and several musical performances from Jose Gonzalez and students from the Zhenlun Cello Orchestra.

Groovy Gala guests

The theme for this year was “Here Comes the Sun.” And not only did guests join in celebrating the coming of the summer with their modern style looks, but the actual sun made an appearance, which inspired one of the more pleasant mid-spring evenings.

Wine Toss Winner Emmanuel Arhu

We look forward to furthering our mission of cultivating creativity and inspiring our community through the arts! If you feel we need arts and culture now more than ever and are in a place of financial stability please consider donating today.

Nancy and Jack Malek were the winning bidders for these cakes

Community Art Award winners announced at Annual Gala for the Arts

Wednesday, May 19, 2021


As part of its ongoing work to cultivate creativity and inspire our community through the arts, ShoreLake Arts seeks to honor those who embody that mission in their work or personal lives. 

ShoreLake Arts was proud to present three well deserved awards at the Gala for the Arts on Saturday, May 15, 2021. A full listing of all award winners through the years can be found on our website at ShoreLakeArts.org/awards

The HeART Award

Presented to a member or members of the ShoreLake Arts community whose long-standing and consistent commitment to the organization has advanced our mission in significant ways. The award winner’s lasting impact has been vital to our organization’s ongoing health and longevity. Such individuals are the very heart of ShoreLake Arts.

Don Bell, HeART Award Recipient (right, holding award), and Bob Pfeiffer, Past ShoreLake Arts Board President. Custom Award created by artist Lynn McManus

Presented to Don Bell

This year’s recipient is someone who has worked with ShoreLake Arts for many years; his connection to this organization began over nine years ago, and carries on to this day as he continues to demonstrate his strong sense of community and passion for our mission.

While serving on our Board of Directors, Don Bell always added a quick sense of humor in combination with his deep knowledge of finances helping to make many meetings both productive and enjoyable. After his term ended on our board, Don has continued to help us stay on a strong and consistent financial path in addition to his other contributions to our Arts community.

If you ever want to talk about good music,classic cars, or the intricacies of filing a non-profit 990 tax form (or just the normal kind!) this is the person to call!

The Community pARTner Award

Presented to a public or private entity (nonprofit, business, or government) that has inspired and encouraged arts and culture in the cities of Shoreline and/or Lake Forest Park. With passion, innovation, and commitment to advancing the arts, this organization has made significant contributions to our community promoting and expanding the richness of life possible in a community centered in the arts and culture. This award is intended to honor past achievements and express excitement for future endeavors.

JHP Artistic Director, Eben Pobee and Emmanuel Arhu at the Gala for the Arts

Presented to JHP Legacy

Led by accomplished musicians, performers, and artists, JHP Legacy strives to share their passion for music, dance, and all cultural arts to underserved communities.

Founded in 2013 by Eben Pobee, Akwasi Asare, and Philip Attipoe, JHP is a fully volunteer run organization with a full calendar of events and programs including the Multicultural Heritage Festival which creates a platform where all communities have an opportunity to connect and better understand each other through music and dance.

In this, our inaugural year of the Community pARTner Award, we are honored to present the award to JHP.

The Community Arts Impact Award - presented posthumously to Zhenlun Li

Presented to a person that has made substantial and long-lasting contributions to the arts in Shoreline and/or Lake Forest Park. This award honors an individual who has elevated arts and culture in our community through visionary leadership, creativity, philanthropy, advocacy, and/or volunteerism. Through his or her significant impact on the arts in our community, the award winner has embodied the mission of ShoreLake Arts by cultivating creativity and inspiring our community through the arts.

Teacher Li’s students performed in his honor: Ethan Su, Michael Guo, Lisa Guo, Hongjie Wang, and pianist Ting Ting Chang.

Presented to Zhenlun Li

Our first-ever recipient of the Community Arts Impact Award is awarded posthumously to the distinguished cellist and teacher Zhen Lun Li. Teacher Li embodied the virtues that this Award seeks to honor. He was a celebrated performer and a distinguished teacher, a community leader and a visionary who used his artistic talents to bridge Asian and Western cultures.

He shared these talents with the world, performing as the Principal Cellist for the Beijing Symphony Orchestra in China and teaching at the Tianjin Conservatory of Music in China before coming to the US. His national and international accomplishments are too many to list.

In addition to his own talent with the cello, Teacher Li was an exceptional mentor and teacher. His extraordinary impact on the many music students he taught through the years resonates throughout the world. We have been graced with some of those students here tonight. 

His teaching skills were much acclaimed. Among other things he was a nine-time recipient of the Diploma of Recognition by the Committee of New York’s Carnegie Hall American Protégé International Piano and Strings Competition, where many of his students were also winners.

Esther Wu accepted the award on behalf of her late husband. She’s joined here by ShoreLake Arts President Tracy Thorleifson and Executive Director Lorie Hoffman.
Custom Award created by glass artist Neil Duman

ShoreLake Arts was honored to work with Teacher Li over the years, most recently in 2017, at the East Meets West Concert Weekend that explored the blending of musical traditions of Asian and Western cultures. With other performers, the Zhenlun Cello Orchestra performed to delighted crowds.

We are proud that ShoreLake Arts had the opportunity to work with an artist and arts educator like Teacher Li, and we are honored to present this award to his legacy.

New show at ShoreLake Arts Gallery features Erin Fox and Cindy Shebley

Tuesday, May 18, 2021



Erin Fox and Cindy Shebley
May 19 - June 26, 2021

ShoreLake Arts Gallery is exhibiting a selection of works by Artist Erin Fox and Photographer Cindy Shebley. See these works and the creations of other local artists during gallery hours: Wednesday – Saturday, Noon to 5pm. View and purchase the art in the online shop here: Current Gallery Exhibit

Thank you for shopping local and supporting the arts in our community!

Erin Fox
Artist Bio


Erin Fox is a Cascadia-based artist specializing in colored pencils. She received her science degree with a focus on Atmospheric Science at Seattle Central College. She returned to art after a short stint modifying global climate models.

Her major sources of inspiration include the natural world, travel, vintage rock posters, Eastern folk art, and 60’s counterculture. With an ever-present slant towards environmentalist and communitarian ideologies through a variety of media, her work explores the intersections between the worlds of abstraction, representations of nature, and the role art takes in the socio-political realm.

She has exhibited work throughout Cascadia with over 15 exhibitions throughout the past 5 years, worked with Pacific Science Center in creating educational art content during the pandemic, and recently completed the Scientific Illustration Program at UW. She lives and works in Seattle, Washington.

Artist Statement

This colored pencil series was born as a reaction to both the rigidness and the beauty of scientific illustration. Scientific illustration is accurately measured and colored, it exists to provide an accurate depiction of an animal, plant, or scientific process. Every curve, hole, indent, and line is meticulously measured. I entered the UW scientific illustration program because it is such a different approach to how I naturally approach a piece, which is more abstract, vibrant, and symmetrical, striving to capture a feeling rather than a physical object. This insect series merges the meticulous measurements of scientific illustration with brighter, psychedelic colors I typically use. Each insect is accurately measured from a personally collected specimen, enlarged, placed upon a uniform oval as it were a dried subject, then filled with vibrant colors unrelated to the insect. At the beginning of the series, the botanicals surrounding the insect were equally as abstract as the insect colors, however, as the series progressed the botanical drawings became more accurate, albeit always symmetrical.

This series draws inspiration from Victorian and Art Nouveau motifs, a time period where scientific illustration also flourished through artists such as Ernst Haeckel. This is an ongoing series.

Cindy Shebley
Artist Bio

I've loved photography since my uncle gave me a camera at 9 years old. It was a vintage (even then) Kodak Brownie film camera. Born in the pre-digital era I’ve seen a lot of changes. I’ve given up my darkroom and traded it in for a computer. I’m forever in wonder at the innovations of this medium.

The sights, sounds, and people of the Northwest have inspired me for over 40 years.

As a regular contributor to stock photography you can find my images on book & magazine covers in blog posts and even a few restaurant walls.

I hope my vision will brighten your day.

Artist Statement

Dogs.
I can’t begin to express in words the joy they bring to my life.
Every day.
Even when they rip apart the furniture or accidentally give me a fat lip.
It doesn’t matter.
Their loyal, loving, jubilant nature outweighs their stinky farts and my destroyed garden.

In this series I hope to visually express the magic beings they are.

This was the most competitive and diverse group of film submissions in our five years.

The night also consisted of custom goodie boxes (made by Bittina from Selah Life Styling and Events), red carpet photos, McDonald’s fries, and an awards ceremony! 

Speaking of which, congratulations to the Golden Sasquatch winners!
