Seeking artists to create temporary artworks for city sidewalks, parks
 
We're seeking artists to create temporary art installations along Greenwood Avenue North and the Central Waterfront for the project Art Interruptions. Art Interruptions encourages artists to install artworks on city sidewalks and parks and offer passers-by a brief interruption in their day with a moment of surprise, beauty or humor. Possible locations for artworks include street and park infrastructure and furniture (utility poles, trees, tree pits, walls, railings, stair risers, etc.). Up to 12 artists will be selected to develop artworks to be displayed for six weeks in summer 2012.

Possible sidewalk and park locations include Greenwood Avenue North between North 65th and North 87th streets, Waterfront Park, Piers 62 and 63, and Pike Street Hill Climb between Alaskan Way and Western Avenue.


Eligibility: Open to artists residing in Washington state.

Budget: Up to 12 artists each will receive a $1,000 stipend.

Deadline: 11 p.m., Friday, May 4, 2012

Info: Jason Huff, public art project manager, (206) 684-7278
