Kent

Arriving in 1910, Robert Nisbet was the founder of a large art colony in Kent. Within a few years, other artists bought homes in the picturesque town, including the sculptor Willard Paddock, the painters Frederick Waugh, Spencer Nichols, Luis Mora and Eliot Clark, along with the illustrator Carl Hirschberg and his son George Nelson. In the summer of 1922, a group of artists formed the Kent Art Association to hold annual exhibitions of its members’ work. The organization continues to exhibit the work of member artists.
