JOSHUA GREEN Cornish is an institution with deep roots in the community. As we prepare to celebrate our Centennial, it’s important to acknowledge the people that have been a consistent source of support over the years. Joshua “Jay” Green is a perfect example. Jay joined the board of trustees of the Cornish Allied Arts School in the early 70s and along with his colleagues, helped shape a pivotal transformation that paved the way for Cornish to become the fully accredited College it is today. Through the Joshua Green Foundation, Jay and his family con­ tinue to provide transformational support to the College. They have given over $300,000 to The Campaign for Cornish and have been essential and instrumental in the expansion and development of the new Cornish campus in the heart of urban Seattle. Their most recent gift will go to the development of a new Visual Arts Complex, home to the sculpture program and Art Department Senior Studios. Here’s how Jay illustrates his history with Cornish, “[Paul] Friedlander asked me to serve on the initial Cornish School board. Our principal objectives were to establish independence from the Music and Arts Foundation which viewed Cornish primarily as a source of entertainment at their meetings and to improve finances. Cornish’s accomplishments since then have been incredible. Purchasing the St. Nicholas school for expansion, accreditation, the move to the new downtown campus, impressively conservative management of finances and constantly improving curriculum, it’s hard to believe this is the same organization I knew in the nineteen seventies. The trustees of the Joshua Green Foundation are very impressed with Cornish and enthusiastically approved our second recent grant for their capital campaign.” Deep roots indeed. Thank you to Jay and the trustees of the Joshua Green Foundation.
