Storefront art near International District

Storefronts Seattle discusses an art installation at the Vulcan headquarters building at 505 5th Ave S. Art like this is great for people who commute or stroll through the area in the dark.

Artist Alyson Piskorowski has been quietly weaving an intricate new Storefronts Installation during these dark winter months. Alyson has transformed a window in a well-traveled corridor at the Vulcan Inc. headquarters into a springtime web of candy colors. Using drywall mesh tape and wire rope, Alyson’s work is meant to evoke the transience and passage of the corridor, which is heavily trafficked by commuters heading to the International District Transit Tunnel.

The untitled piece is “meant to be viewed from different routes, at different times of day, offering the viewer new encounters from a variety of vantage points and lighting conditions,” explains Alyson.

The installation is in place through June.

International District storefront art walk

If the green street on Maynard Avenue doesn’t get you to take a stroll through the International District, maybe the Storefronts Seattle project will. From Storefronts Seattle:

From September 2010 to February 2011, local artists will be using vacant retail spaces in the Pioneer Square and Chinatown-International District neighborhoods to display their artwork, house their creative enterprises and establish artist residencies.

Visit the Storefronts Seattle website for a printable walking map to take with you. These exhibits are in place until the end of the month.
