STart: Sound Transit Art Program: RED WALL

PROJECT INFORMATION

STart, Sound Transit Art Program, presents a program of temporary public art at the future site of the light rail stations. The projects are a series of installations by regional, established and emerging artists exploring the ever-changing landscape of the neighborhood and the city.

Sound Transit is currently building light rail stations connecting Downtown Seattle and SeaTac Airport with the Capitol Hill, University District and Northgate neighborhoods. In addition to permanent sited art works in and around the stations, STart created this program of temporary projects to activate the interstitial times during construction periods when neighborhoods are affected by large-scale excavations and building. STart turns the temporary walls surrounding the construction sites into a public art lab with a rotation of commissioned works from a wide range of artists.
