The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and the Betty Bowen Committee, chaired by Gary Glant, announced the six artists selected as finalists for this year's Betty Bowen Award: Dawn Cerny, Roland Dahwen, Elijah Hasan, Marilyn Montufar, Christian Alborz Oldham, and Tariqa Waters. The juried award honors a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. The award was founded in 1977 to honor the legacy of Betty Bowen (1918–1977), Founded by Bowen's friends, the award is administered by SAM. The Betty Bowen Committee — comprising Northwest curators, collectors, and artists — reviewed 615 applications from visual artists residing in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Last year's winner was Lynne Siefert, the first filmmaker to win the award. The winner of the 43rd Betty Bowen Award will be announced in September.
