Title
Sev Shoon Arts Center Seattle Printmaking Studio, Washington
Description
After thirteen years on historic Ballard Avenue, the Sev Shoon Arts Center moved in January 2004 to its permanent home at BallardWorks. Located near the Locks, BallardWorks is a 14,000sf building that has been developed into an arts center by artists Dionne Haroutunian, Jay Lazerwitz, Joan Stuart Ross, and John Gleason. It is the home to nineteen individual artists, and two businesses. Primarily an industrial area, Ballard is unique in its successful integration of industrial businesses, cafes, quaint shops, and wonderful people.
Sev Shoon Arts Center began in 1991, in response to the art community's need for a printmaking studio in Seattle. It is owned and operated by Dionne Haroutunian who came to Seattle from Switzerland in 1985. Inspired by the books she had read about the Impressionists and the Dadaists, Dionne had dreams of a community of artists who would meet in little cafes and reinvent the world! Sev Shoon is as close as she could get to that!
Drawing on her Armenian heritage, Dionne named the center "Sev Shoon " which translates as "Black Dog," the nickname of one of her favorite "adopted" uncles; she figured it would be good luck, and it has been.
