Remembering Bonnie Cartwright

It’s with heavy hearts that we share the passing of ACLO stalwart Bonnie Cartwright. She died peacefully on Saturday, May 16th. 

It’s difficult to overestimate the impact Bonnie had on the Arts Council of Lake Oswego. She served on the Board of Directors and on multiple committees. She was a public art sponsor, a volunteer without peer, and a fundraising visionary. She was always out and about, walking her neighborhood at a fast clip, and frequently popping in to Artspace Gallery to say hello, ask if we needed help with anything, and of course see the art. She was good humored, good natured, loved a little gossip, and enjoyed art without pretense. We will miss her. 

Help shape the future of the arts landscape in Lake Oswego by joining the Public Art Committee

The Public Art Committee (PAC) is a seven-member committee of the Arts Council of Lake Oswego that is appointed jointly by the City and ACLO to develop and maintain the City’s public art collection, and to provide oversight for the 1.5 Percent for Art Program process.
