About the Speakers & Prizes

Energy Drink is a collaboration between digital artist Neon Saltwater (Abby Dougherty) and abstract painter Brian Sanchez. It creates a found and fabricated environment that transforms the mundane into a contemplative experience through color, interior design, lighting, and the elusive euphoria of vacant and transitory spaces. Neon Saltwater’s uncanny interiors become a life-size fantasy set, a minimalist stage for Brian Sanchez’s paintings and sculptures. The rich paintings use an emotive palette that responds to the lighting design and activates the pervasive loneliness buzzing between the roomscapes. Energy Drink makes abstraction tangible.

The Museum of Museums‘ mission is to increase the artist population of Seattle and inspire our local arts ecosystem through exhibition, education, and conversation about the role of the artist, philanthropist and collector. It resides in a building originally designed by NBBJ in 1946, and was formerly occupied by Swedish Hospital Women’s Health Center. The museum and gift shop pay homage to the former site in many ways, and MOM founding donors Ruth True, Barbara Malone, Alison Milliman speak to the importance of women as philanthropists and collectors in Seattle and beyond.

Greg Lundgren is an artist, curator and arts entrepreneur. He is the founder of Vital 5 Productions, Artist For a Work Free America (AFWFA), Lundgren Monuments and a member of the artist trio PDL. He co-owns The Hideout and Vito’s, and is the founder and director of Museum of Museum, a new contemporary art center in Seattle.

Jennifer Roberts is an art collector and all around extraordinary individual. She is currently on the board of On The Boards, and is a past trustee of the Henry Art Gallery and Villa Academy. She also owns Old Chaser Farm on Vashon where she manages their beautiful farm share.

Knee High Stocking Co. is a minority, female, family-owned and operated business born and bred in Seattle, WA. Sisters/Partners: Pamela C. and Michelle V. have served up Prohibition-era cocktails and house-made shrubs, plus a menu of Filipino-inspired American food since 2017.
