To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”
― William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

The Society for Art of Imagination (artofimagination.org) was founded in 1961, with a desire to foster a resurgence of interest in imaginative art. Its members and their associates employ technical skill coupled with imagination to create fine works of art that transcend the ordinary. The Society has produced numerous exhibitions, at prestigious venues, in cities around the world, including New York, Montreal, Vienna, London and Paris. One of the original founders, Brigid Marlin, continues to lead the organization. Other especially notable members include Ernst Fuchs (1930-2015), HR Giger (1940-2014), Robert Venosa (1936-2011), Martina Hoffmann, Alex Grey, Laurie Lipton and Michael Parkes.
Kirkland Arts Center (kirklandartscenter.org), founded in 1962, and housed in an architectural gem which is considered an historic landmark, is a non-profit, donor-supported organization driven by the belief that art has the power to transform lives, by igniting individual growth and self-expression, building community spirit, and cultivating cultural vibrancy.
