Exciting Times
It is such an honor working with so many amazing artists and creators in the arts and
entertainment industry. They all work hard for those of us that reap the benefits of their skills,
vision and passion.
We at Art Chowder are thrilled to see that their efforts are being noticed and they are being
celebrated by the growth and interest in Art Chowder Magazine in other regions as well. We
now have retail distributors in Bellingham, Mill Creek, Seattle, Lake Forrest, and Olympia,
Washington as well as Beaverton, Oregon and our numerous retail locations in the Inland
Empire.
Art Chowder also welcomes our new columnist Eric Cook “The Cork Jockey.” Eric is a
celebrated sommelier as well as regional celebrity with many a wine-loving guest of Beverly’s
Restaurant at the resort in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and Masselow’s Restaurant in Airway Heights,
Washington. Eric brings his vast knowledge of not only regional wines but also his experience
from a worldwide platform for the discerning palate.
We are excited to continue to bring the ongoing diversity of the arts to our readers — artists
from all around the West with many styles, many stories and a lifetime of enjoyment for you
to be had. We look forward to introducing Art Chowder Magazine to new friends and those
passionate about the visual, performing and culinary arts.
Enjoy your summer and make time to enjoy the arts!
Thank you,
Dean Cameron
