- I'm a creative producer, artist + advocate living in Seattle. This notebook is updated periodically. It covers a wide range of what I'm working on, things I'm seeing and thinking about, as well resources for artists. // Tonya Lockyer was nominated for a Seattle Mayor’s Arts Award + named “one of the 13 key cultural change-makers in the Pacific Northwest” by The Seattle Times. They are Artistic Executive Director of Velocity (Seattle’s nexus for new dance), Chair of Capitol Hill Arts District, and Cornish College of the Arts faculty.
