Neighborhood Improvement Project Spotlight

Signaling a change for Pioneer Square

Our First Community: First People in Seattle’s First Neighborhood


In honor of the First People in Seattle’s First Neighborhood, the Pioneer Square Residents’ Council (PSRC) in collaboration with the Chief Seattle Club recently announced the initiation of Art Outside the Box—a neighborhood project to enhance the streetscapes of Pioneer Square with original art created by indigenous Coast Salish artists. All of the selected artists are enrolled tribal members of the Coast Salish region, which is the place where Pioneer Square exists.

Check out the new signal box art during the next Pioneer Square, First Thursday Art Walk on August, 1.

Dye sublimation and UV printing each do things the other can't, and knowing which is which is the difference between a display that looks like it grew there and one that looks like a compromise. Here's how to tell what your display is asking for.
Circular planet graphics on a swissQprint flatbed printer — large-format print for experiential design
You can build almost anything into a branded space now — and still walk out feeling nothing. Art director, senior designer, and illustrator Amy Turner Senftleben has spent 25 years working the other side of that problem. Her take: the human element isn't a person in the room. It's engineered, one design decision at a time.
