Meet Your Creek features works by John Feodorov, Susanna Bluhm, and Akira Ohiso

4/16/2019

 
Meet Your Creek combines ecological literacy and community art practice around Longfellow Creek. As part of the project, funded by Seattle Public Utilities 1% for Art funds, I invited other artists with a connection to the creek to create "postcards from the creek." Their wonderful works are now posted on the blog. Please check it out!

Rain Gardens X Public Art

4/5/2019

 
Very excited to be working on this project with King County!
www.4culture.org/vaughn-bell-selected-for-rain-gardens-x-public-art-opportunity/

As development continues throughout King County, more and more of our surfaces are impervious. When rain hits pavement and asphalt, it collects pollutants as it travels into Puget Sound’s streams, lakes, rivers, and bays—this is stormwater.
In order to address stormwater issues, King County’s Water and Land Resource Division Stormwater Services Section (the Section) is developing a program to incentivize green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) on private properties in unincorporated King County. It partnership with the Section, we put out a call for an artist to reimagine rain gardens and help get the public engaged with them. Now, we are excited to announce that Vaughn Bell was selected for this unique opportunity.

Vaughn brings experience working with people across disciplines—engineers, community members, young people, scientists, artists, and many others. Her experience working with Seattle Public Utilities Drainage and Wastewater since 2016 as Artist in Residence has united her interests in environmental policy and public art.
