“Travelogue, the final art exhibit in our series exploring Asian cultures, encompasses what is happening today in the Far East,” says The Lakeshore Curator, June Sekiguchi. “With such a large Asian American community here in Seattle, it is only fitting that we explore today’s Asian experiences through the eyes of artists.”
In 2013, residents at The Lakeshore expressed desire to learn about Asian culture and committed to studying Asian and Asian American experiences throughout 2014.
“Growing up in the Northwest, I have always felt a connection to Asian people,” says The Lakeshore Resident Marian Blakney. “That is why I’m so interested in always learning more; for me, it’s about connecting with my friends and learning more about them.”
With beautiful views of Mt. Rainier and Lake Washington, The Lakeshore offers a warm, vibrant lifestyle, an array of amenities, active life-enrichment programs, and exceptional Independent Living and Assisted Living care.
