Maxine Cushing Gray (1909-1987) was a local Seattle arts critic, editor, writer, advocate, and watchdog. She was very involved in the Pacific Northwest arts scene and worked tirelessly on causes such as Native American arts, arts education in Seattle schools, and funding for artists. Some of the things she did over her long arts career included being a prominent member of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), an arts critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, an editor for the Argus arts weekly, and publisher and editor of the arts journal Northwest Arts. She was nicknamed The Tweed Hornet for her "because of her capacity to sting in print" according to Historylink. "I have certain things I believe in, and I cling to them," Maxine told The Seattle Times. "The importance of regionalism in the arts, supporting local artists, public accountability among arts institutions" (November 4, 1981). There is currently a University of Washington fellowship in her name called the Maxine Cushing Gray Visiting Writers Fellowship.
