Northwind Art welcomes Tracy Thompson to the organization this month as its new development director.
With a background in education, the arts, and nonprofits, Northwind Art said Thompson’s development expertise includes grant writing, fundraising events, and community collaborations.
“I am super motivated by Northwind Art’s mission of cultivating the arts through education, exhibits and artist resources,” Thompson said.
After a decade spent in Walla Walla, Thompson returns to Port Townsend where she looks forward to rekindling connections and embracing community.
“I look forward to advancing the synergy between our focus areas of education, exhibits and artist advancement,” Thompson added.
“Together with Teresa and her team, I see these areas feeding and growing one another for a stronger and vibrant arts ecosystem that ultimately drives economic advancement for artists in Jefferson County,” she added.
“The arrival of Tracy Thompson as development director completes the Northwind Art leadership team — such a talented group of people — and is a critical step in building the infrastructure of our organization,” said executive director Teresa Verraes.
“Although the economic and operational impacts of COVID are still being felt, building a strong team, streamlining our processes and investing in good tools sets us up for long term success and I am thrilled at the opportunities ahead,” Verraes added.
