About Cascadia Art Museum
Opened in the fall of 2015, Cascadia Art Museum (Cascadia) is one of the nation’s newest art museums, serving the Pacific Northwest as a voice and showcase for the region’s art history. The museum is dedicated to Northwest art during the period of 1860 to 1970 and maintains an active program of temporary exhibitions and public outreach to carry out that mission. The museum provides enriching experiences for the community and visitors alike through original exhibitions, public programs, publications, and educational outreach. With five galleries, a multi-purpose education room and a gift shop, the 11,000 square foot museum is part of the adaptive reuse of one of Edmonds’ most iconic, mid-century modern buildings, and is located just steps from the waterfront, as well as a short walk from Edmonds’ vibrant downtown.
Cascadia is strengthened by an impressive board of 14 highly engaged local and regional leaders who share a deep passion for Northwest art and making it accessible to the community. Additionally, there are over 50 committed community volunteers who staff the gift shop and exhibition spaces. The museum runs on a calendar fiscal year and currently has a budget of around $1.3M. The museum benefits from a co-leadership model in which both the Executive Director and Curator serve as equals, each independently reporting to the Board of Directors and work collaboratively to realize the museum’s mission and vision. The Executive Director is responsible for pursuing the museum’s vision through operations and resource development. This includes directly managing staff (Operations Manager, Development & Marketing Manager, Registrar, P/T Store Manager) and providing oversight for the volunteers.
