The City of Seattle is in the middle of a major waterfront redevelopment project, including creation of a 20-acre park. But it won't be the first urban park built on Seattle's downtown shoreline.
15 years ago, Seattle Art Museum inaugurated its Olympic Sculpture Park, an art-filled haven on Elliott Bay, just north of Seattle's downtown core. The 9-acre urban oasis includes not only a notable sculpture collection but also beach access and an all-seasons pavilion. Best of all, its open free-of-charge seven days a week.
Seattle Art Museum Director Amada Cruz talked to Vivian and Marcie about the Sculpture Park's mission, its connection to community, and what will change when the adjacent waterfront park opens in 2025.
