MOHAI invites you to a special reception in honor of our newest exhibit, Celebrating Pacific Northwest Artists: 25 Years of the Neddy Awards on view through September 5, 2023.
Created twenty-five years ago to honor Seattle artist and teacher Ned Behnke (1948-1989), the Neddy Artist Award recognizes innovative visual artists across media. This exhibition, curated by Negarra A. Kudumu, features past Neddy grand prize award recipients—some of the most significant Northwest visual artists of the last quarter century. Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.
The Neddy Artist Award program is funded by the Behnke Foundation and stewarded by Cornish College of the Arts as a tribute to the Seattle painter and teacher Robert E. [Ned] Behnke (1948-1989).
