In a city already well-known for its breathtaking views, this fall as part of Art Interruptions 2017 we proudly add 7 more extraordinary sights along the Delridge Neighborhood Greenway and Connector Trail in West Seattle. Now through January, we encourage you to view all 7 art installations by foot or bike, whether you are commuting to work or taking a pleasant weekend stroll. The artwork ranges from the whimsical to the thought provoking, incorporating themes of ecology, history and social justice.
Art Interruptions is an annual, seasonal art program created by the Office of Arts & Culture to nurture new and emerging artists. Art Interruptions is proudly funded by Seattle Department of Transportation 1% for Art fund and hosted by the SDOT Neighborhood Greenway Program and the Seattle Parks and Recreation Greenways Initiative.
