Artful Legacy: Cathlamet collector leaves gallery, private collection to hometown

A cadre of artists who gathered at the Tsuga Gallery last week chatted about their painting and photography and the challenges of fixing up a 100-year-old building.
The conversation frequently returned to another subject: the late Janet Cimino, whose love of art and generosity are behind the gallery's opening.
Cimino, who died last August at age 67, left the storefront on Cathlamet's Main Street to a trust with instructions that it be used for an art gallery.
