ShoreLake Arts

Goodbye to Lorie Hoffman, outgoing Executive Director

We wish Lorie Hoffman the best of luck in her new role as the Arts Community Manager at the City of Bellevue. Lorie has been the Executive Director of ShoreLake Arts since January 2016 and led the organization through the launch of new programs, a major rebranding, and a pandemic! She is a passionate champion of the arts and she will be missed.

“I am so deeply grateful to the entire ShoreLake Arts family. Working here has given me the opportunity to meet truly skillful artists, passionate arts advocates, and a community willing to try something new. 

"I’m a lucky person -- for the better part of the last decade I’ve woken up every day and gone to work at a place I love. Thank you all for being part of that. I’ll see you all at Concerts in the Park!”
- Lorie Hoffman
