Get matched →In partnership with King County Wastewater Treatment Division (WTD), 4Culture is seeking one artist or artist-led team to create a site-specific artwork for the east glass facade adjacent to the Elliott West Wet Weather Treatment Station (EWWTS) interior stairwell and upper facing north glass window. The artwork will be highly visible to the community on the east side of EWWTS and transit along Elliott Ave West.
Artwork should inspire and engage the broader community by reflecting on the site and its relationship to Elliott Bay and the project theme 'Water's Edge,' inspired by the shore where EWWTS is located and how it has changed dramatically over the last 130 years from a dynamic and natural shoreline to one fully manipulated by human design and industry. Artwork should also consider the Interbay and Lower Queen Anne neighborhoods, the surrounding landscape and its connection to Elliott Bay and the Puget Sound, and collaborative conversations with artist Laura Haddad given her existing history with Undercurrents, an existing artwork at the Denny Way/Lake Union CSO.
The selected artist or artist-led team will develop original artwork that responds to the architectural character of the building, the surrounding environment, and EWWTS's important role in supporting essential public infrastructure. The artwork should be thoughtfully integrated with the site. The selected artist or artist-led team will work closely with 4Culture, Wastewater Treatment, the project consultant, and Laura Haddad of artist team Haddad/Drugan to collaborate on the artwork and its integration into the architecture of the new EWWTS upgrade. There will be some overlap in both artists' design timelines.
