Art sale to celebrate woman’s achievement Proceeds to go to grandchild’s college trust BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Artist Sandy Diamond’s life will be celebrated with the sale of several hundred pieces of her work this weekend. “We are not trying to make money,” said Dianne Diamond,
her sister. “We are just trying to get her work out there.” Proceeds will be placed in trust to send her granddaughter Skyler, now 5, to college, Dianne Diamond said. Sandy Diamond died Feb. 9 at the age of 79 due to complications after a fall. The art sale will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the artist’s home at 703 U St. It will feature calligraphy prints and originals, drawings, collages, poetry books, CDs, cards, antiques and one-of-a-
kind frames. The art was stored out of view in the home Sandy Diamond occupied for 16 years. “I knew this was here but never saw it all put together,” Dianne Diamond said. “It’s overwhelming.” Her sister grew up in Gates Mills, Ohio; studied literature at Brandeis University; and earned a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University’s College of Painting and Sculpture as a painting fellow.

PORT TOWNSEND — The filming of a movie by director John Sayles in Fort Worden State Park, which was originally expected this summer, has been postponed for one year to give producers more time to raise $9 million, it was announced Thursday. “This is disappointing because everyone is very excited about the possibility of having a feature film at Fort Worden because it provided great marketing for Port Townsend,” said Dave Robison, executive director of the Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center Public Development Authority. “On the other hand, it’s good for visitors, as we are no longer 100 percent sold out for the summer.”
