Lorinda Knight, Lorinda Knight Gallery
NAWBO member Lorinda Knight was one of 4 citizens honored by Mayor Verner in her State of the City address on Friday, February 1.
In the Mayor's words:
Our community is full of examples of those who represent the Spirit of Spokane. Allow me to point out a few:
Most of you know Lorinda. She hosted more than 100 exhibitions of artists’ works in the Lorinda Knight Gallery for some 13 years. Some exhibits were for commercial purposes, and some because Lorinda wanted to showcase some of the best art in the Northwest.
She has been a driving force in the Davenport District, and the creation and growth of the Spokane International Film Festival (SpIFF), the Visual Arts Tour, and First Fridays. She also has been a huge supporter of the MAC, and among other things, donated a sizeable collection of Rick Singer photographs to the museum. She has been tireless.
