Frank Calvert (1876–1920) was a Seattle Times newspaper artist and cartoonist, and member of the Seattle Cartoonists' Club.[3] In 1911, he edited a book for the club, The cartoon; a reference book of Seattle's successful men, which included biographies, photos and caricatures of men the club considered influential in Seattle.
He was also a co-founder (along with Alfred T. Renfro, writer and photographer) of the Beaux Arts Village in King County, Washington.[3][4] The two men wanted to create a community of artists.[4] They bought 50 acres of land on the shore of Lake Washington, with the intent of establishing an artists' colony.[3][4] They set aside 10 acres to be used for art studios for woodworking, sculpture, and photography and the rest was to be half-acre parcels for artist homes.[3][4]
The two men also set up the Beaux Arts Workshop in Seattle.[4][year missing]
