The goal of City of Olympia’s Art Crossings program is to place public art into Olympia’s neighborhoods, contribute to a sense of community identity, and introduce place making elements that help to define and bring together different areas of our community. Having worked through the process to design approval on West Bay Drive, we are now starting the process for Eastside Street at the bridge over I-5. Arts Program Manager Stephanie Johnson was at the ENA Annual meeting on August 25 to set the foundation for the new project by asking 4 questions:
-What do you value about your neighborhood?
-What do you want people to know about your neighborhood?
-How is the neighborhood connected to Olympia?
-What else should the artist know?
This was a great exercise to do with neighbors, but if you didn’t make the annual picnic, we’d still like to hear from you! Please complete the survey – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BV6T7ZT – by September 9.
