9TH ANNUAL RED CARPET GALA & AUCTION
Welcome and thank you!
This year is going to be an amazing year at ECA. Here are
just some of the many exciting things that we expect for the
coming season:
- Over 7,000 students and 40 schools will be engaged in Education & Outreach programs.
- Our new Dementia-friendly Program Series will be
launched and will include three movie matinees and
multiple workshops throughout the year.
- 25-30 outstanding artists will grace our stage this year
in our Presented Artist Series, including Los Lobos,
Travis Tritt, and The Second City.
- Over 100 rental events will be held at ECA this year.
- Over 65,000 people will come through our doors this
year.
As a supporter of ECA, you have much to be proud of!
None of this would be possible without the support of this
wonderful community. We also have to thank our Executive
Director, Joe McIalwain; ECA staff; ECA volunteers; and our
PFD and ECA Board Members.
When we look back at those first couple of years, who would
have imagined that ECA would become what it is today?
Through visionary thinking and dedicated hard work, it just
gets better and better. We ask that you give generously
tonight, so that ECA can continue to grow and bring the
level of programming that you’ve come to expect from a
world class Performing Arts Center.

Jim Dever - Emcee:
Jim Dever is one of the hosts of KING-TV’s “Evening Magazine,”
and produces the show’s popular “SmallTalk” and “DareDever”
segments. Jim has won 18 Emmy Awards. He’s worked as a
science correspondent for the Discovery

Introduction
John Curley swears he doesn’t deserve
the life that he has, and believes that if
karma does exist he will be coming back
in the next time around as a dung beetle.
Before that happens, John has much
work to do. He is a host on KIRO Radio
97.3FM, serves as an elected official in the
city of Sammamish as a councilman and
is also President of John Curley Auctions.
He auctioneers year round helping to
raise 2.3 million dollars a month for area
non-profits. He wears many hats and has
many titles but likes it best when two
very small people, who look a little bit like him, call him dad.
9TH ANNUAL RED CARPET GALA & AUCTION
Featured Artist: Barbara Goodfellow Childs
Childs Pottery
www.ChildsPottery.com
[email protected]
425-743-4876
A self-proclaimed "accidental" artist, Barbara discovered pottery
while in college studying Business Administration and Community
Health Education. Out of college, pottery was a place to escape the
stresses of corporate life. While raising her family, she eventually
worked her way out of the boardroom and into the studio full time.
Born and raised in Edmonds, spending summers on the beaches of
Whidbey Island, her work embraces the colors and textures of the
Pacific Northwest.
Most of Barbara’s potting time is spent at the wheel creating
functional wares; serving pieces are most fun. Good cooks believe
presentation is as important as taste, and she agrees. It’s not
necessarily what you serve; it’s how you serve it!
Barbara enjoys decorating with stamps or by layering glazes. She’s
created over 250 botanical and geometric themed stamps, which
are mixed and matched to create unique pieces. Her goal in layering
glazes is creating abstracts that reflect the colors and lines of Puget
Sound scenery. Blues and greens over rusts emulate the tree lines
across the bay, blues over black—the tidal flats on an incoming tide.
All her serving pieces are oven and dishwasher safe. Only food-safe
glazes are used.
Barbara also works with low-fire raku and saggar firing techniques
creating strictly ornamental works. These processes allow for
experimentation with salt-soaked ferns and hay, copper wire, feathers,
horse hair, chemical colorants, low-fire glazes and smoke. Low-fired
pottery is strictly ornamental and will not hold water without a glass
liner.
9TH ANNUAL RED CARPET GALA & AUCTION
