PUBLIC ART ON BEACON HILL
Beacon Arts has been involved with public art projects throughout Beacon Hill and are open to new opportunities and collaborations. Below are some examples of our past projects.
Art Pop Ups
Beacon Arts can be seen at many local community events with art pop ups to bring art to all ages in our neighborhood. Spot us at the Beacon Hill Festival this summer!
Blue Sky Trails
Dias de los Muertos Ofrenda
Beacon Arts can be seen at the Dias de los Muertos celebration held at El Centro de la Raza in October and November each year. Local artists come together to build an ofrenda, a ritual display, where the theme changes each year but often is a memorial to a local artist who recently passed away.
TBD Community Space
Beacon Arts activated the TBD Community Space at 2507 Beacon Ave S (behind the whale/sunflower mural) from April 2017 - April 2018. The space hosted art markets and gallery space, concerts, and more. The biggest hit was Dozer's Warehouse curated by Crik Lont. Upon Beacon Arts leaving, Crik was able to continue using the warehouse and gallery for studio work and occasional shows.
Beacon Hill Mural Project
In 2015, Beacon Arts was awarded a Small and Simple matching fund by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods to create a mural for Beacon Hill. What followed was a summer of outreach to our community to learn what images and stories would be important to include in this mural. Two artists, Anjali Grant & Will Schlough, created several sketches from the outreach that were showcased at the annual Pear-a-dise event for feedback. The final mural was chosen and installed at Dragon Auto Repair, 2901 17th Ave S, who graciously donated one of their walls for the mural.
Words of Wisdom Relocation Project
In 2005, the PTSA at Asa Mercer Middle School embarked on a community outreach project that sought to celebrate and highlight the diversity of Beacon Hill. At that time, there were 29 different home languages at the school. The project had three parts: family nights for cultural sharing, a book of the collected sayings and a “Words of Wisdom” walkway. With the school under remodel, Beacon Arts is working with the school to safely relocate the walkway to a new location in the school.
Beacon Art Walkabout
In 2014 and 2015, the Beacon Hill Walkabout activated Beacon Avenue with live mural painting, music, art markets and dance.
Pear-a-Dise
From 2015 to when the Garden House was sold in 2018, BA partnered with the local garden club to open up the house to our neighbors and invite them to harvest from the 100 year old pear orchard. Art projects, pear delicacies, music and even a circus were some of the many events over the years.
