Paige Johansen

Committee Chair - Indoor Galleries

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Special interest in art, which is why I volunteer with Arts Downtown. Gardening is also an interest, but I do consider it an art form as well. Puyallup is my home, and I find great pleasure in being a part of the art world at home. I so enjoy the outdoor galleries as I walk through town, and consider working with the artist for our indoor galleries a delight. I love their enthusiasm and talent. Hoping some of it will rub off on me.

Shannon Bennett

Board Member

Shannon is a passionate and dedicated public servant currently managing human services programs for the City of Lakewood. In her role, she facilitates the Lakewood’s Promise Advisory Board and the Community Services Advisory Board, and leads community collaboration meetings to strengthen partnerships and address local needs. The role Shannon holds most dear is facilitating the City of Lakewood Youth Council, where she mentors, advocates for, and empowers young people to use their voices to drive positive change and reach their full potential. Before transitioning into human services, Shannon managed affordable housing programs for municipalities in Washington and California, bringing a strong foundation of public policy and community development to her current work.

Outside of her professional responsibilities, Shannon enjoys traveling and spending time at home with her husband, Jeff, and their two dogs. On many days, you can see Shannon, Jeff, and their two large dogs walking or riding their bikes through downtown Puyallup, enjoying everything the community has to offer. A deeply engaged community member, Shannon has served as a bridge builder and volunteer at Oasis Youth Center for the past three years, was recently elected to the Puyallup Arts and Culture Commission, and has been accepted as a Puyallup Library volunteer. She hopes to one day support the City of Puyallup in establishing its own Youth Council, sharing her experience and passion for youth empowerment to help expand opportunities for young leaders in her home community.

John Hopkins

Vice President

I have always appreciated the mission of Arts Downtown. I was involved in the very early days, when the first artists displayed their work. More recently, I coordinated efforts with the Foothills Rails to Trails Coalition for the All Along the Riverwalk event. Additionally, I serve as a board member for the Pierce Conservation District. I believe that board collaborations are beneficial for everyone.

Nicole Martineau

President

As an advocate for the arts and a longtime resident of Puyallup, I have seen the impact that creativity and culture can have on a community. From local galleries to public performances, I believe in the power of art to bring people together, inspire growth, and enhance the beauty of our downtown.

Our Board, membership, and volunteers are committed to improving opportunities for artists, enhancing public art installations, organizing community-engaging events, and ensuring that the arts remain a vital part of the downtown experience. Together, we can build a more vibrant, inclusive, and creative future for our city.

I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside all of you to make Arts Downtown Puyallup a dynamic and welcoming place for everyone.
