Lou Watson, who received her BFA in 2015 in Media Arts with a concentration in Intermedia is one of five finalists for the Betty Bowen Award. Administered by the Seattle Art Museum, the annual Betty Bowen Award honors a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling work. The winner is awarded an unrestricted cash prize of $15,000, and a selection of his or her works is shown at the Seattle Art Museum in the fall of 2015. Watson recently took her thesis project, an experimental concert the subject of which was NE Sandy Boulevard to the Hollywood Theatre on Sandy, and Esme Hogeveen MA ‘15 wrote about it for UNTITLED.
