Some Art with Your Rail

The City wants art for improving the SLU streetcar stations, with three awards of $30,000 each. I wonder what sort of art I should submit?

Also, Sound Transit has selected an artist for the Capitol Hill Station, thanks Orphan Road for the pointer.

I know that this is off topic, but did you know that WSDOT has a flickr account? They’ve got some great pics up from the work that they’re doing to try to clear out the passes. Might be worth checking out.

Cheers,

Those WSDOT photos are great! I never knew they had a flicker account.

My question: If the city rule is 1% for art, then shouldn’t the grants be more like $5mn total since the thing cost $50mn? $90K seems kinda skimpy in comparison.

So in the middle of this “crisis” a DOT worker has the time to walk around taking pictures?
