Winter dance time
Helmi Juvonen was born in Butte, Montana on January 17, 1903. She worked in many media including printmaking, painting and paper-craft. She attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle where she met artist Mark Tobey with whom she was famously obsessed. Although she was diagnosed as a manic-depressive in 1930, she gained wide appreciation in the Northwest for her linocut prints depicting Northwest Indian people and tribal ceremonies. She worked with a number of artists on the Public Works of Art Project including Fay Chong and Morris Graves. Over the years, her mental health deteriorated and in 1960 she was declared a ward of the state and was committed to Oakhurst Convalescent Center. She was much beloved and had many friends and benefactors (including Wes Wehr) and was able to have exhibitions despite the confinement. She died in 1985.

Letter from Arthur Goodwin to Walter Soames regarding a dispute over private stalls at Pike Place Market, December 28, 1927
Letter from Arthur Goodwin to Walter Soames, President of the Associated Farmers, discussing changes made at Pike Place Market to distinguish the private stalls in the 'GG' section from other market stalls. Goodwin also explains 'We have put into effect regulations governing the sale of local and Califonia vegetables, prohibiting the sale of California vegetables of like kind when local vegetables are offered for sale on the market, and have co-operated with the Health Department in agreeing to cancel the lease of any tenant of the 'GG' section who violates the terms of the said leases.' Goodwin also addresses complaints against Joe Desimone, noting that they cannot force Desimone to leave the market for pricing his produce competitively.
