Our Logo: the Wolf Head

Our logo, designed by artist Eric King, demonstrates the subtle power of Northwest Coast art, with classic form lines that represent this intelligent animal simply yet abstractly. Northwest Coast art anticipates European art by many centuries: Cubist art by showing several aspects of a subject at the same time, and Surrealist art by showing how any creature can exist in several forms simultaneously. The wolf, which is so familiar to Northwest Coast natives, is the perfect symbol for Chief Seattle Arts--an organization of intelligent art lovers who cooperatively capture and bring you the best in Northwest Coast artworks, books, and information.
