Imagining Seattle: teens envision a built green 5 Star Hotel in Southeast Seattle

  Southeast Seattle Just five miles southeast of downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley encompasses some of the city’s most colorful and diverse neighborhoods, including Columbia City, Genesee, Hillman City, Mount Baker, Seward Park, Lakewood, Rainier Beach and Othello. In 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the 98118 ZIP code – which includes much of Rainier Valley – is America's most diverse. A third of the population is African American, a third white and much of the balance includes immigrants from across the globe –Spanish to Somali, Vietnamese to Chinese, Japanese to Malaysian. More than 50 languages are spoken here. This diversity is celebrated by locals and is more accessible than ever to visitors. In 2009, Sound Transit opened the first line of its new Link light rail system, connecting downtown Seattle with the airport via the Rainier Valley.

Summer 2012 A New Teen Project  is being launched this fall with the generous support of the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs and Seattle Parks and Recreation.   

Working with an architect/visual artist team, teens create plans for what they would like to see in Southeast Seattle. These site specific models for murals, sculptural and architectural forms are a way to imagine neighborhood improvements.  Models, sketches, drawings and/or paintings will be exhibited at Van Asselt Community Center and possibly other venues.

We need your help! We are collecting packaging materials to build forms.  Cardboard boxes, tubes, styrofoam, scraps: anything clean and dry would be greatly appreciated.
We also need:
rolls of art paper, pencils, erasers, markers, watercolor sets, rulers, glue, masking tape and duct tape, snacks and beverages.  All monetary donations through Shunpike are tax exempt.

We appreciate your donations and sponsorship! We would like to include your business logo or name in our program materials.

Thank You,
