Artist Sought For Seattle Design Commission
SEATTLE — Mayor Mike McGinn is looking for an artist to serve on the Seattle Design Commission.
The artist would provide advice, as a member of the commission, on plans for new public projects such as fire stations, parks, and streetscapes, and on major projects that affect the whole city, such as the waterfront and light rail stations. The artist would also serve as the Design Commission’s liaison on the Public Art Advisory Committee
Design Excellence Awards Winners for 2010-2011
The Seattle Design Commission Chair Julie Bassuk announced the winners of the commission’s 2010-2011 Design Excellence Awards. The five winning projects were selected from the many public buildings, parks, open spaces, and vision plans completed in Seattle in the past two years. They were chosen because they promote the mission and exemplify the values of the Seattle Design Commission: inspired design, contextual integration, innovative sustainability, social inclusion, exemplary partnerships, effective investment, and impeccable execution. For the first time an “In the Works” award was given to a project that hasn’t been constructed, but has had an exemplary design process and holds outstanding potential.
