LTDC worked with the Freeway Park Association to curate the inaugural Illuminated Art program at Freeway Park.

In 2021, as we were all recovering and re-emerging from the Covid crisis, we returned to public life with feelings of excitement and also some uncertainty. A lot changed over the course of the pandemic and we were seeing the world through a new lens. A desire to connect with others was coupled with a desire to self protect.

With this unique moment in mind, LTDC asked artists to respond to the theme of “Wayfinding” or finding one's way. How do we find each other to re-engage? How do we take these tentative steps forward with hope and curiosity? The selected artists below were invited to create work that punctuated the walk through Freeway Park with welcoming, illuminated installations that bring light and color to both well trodden plazas and unexplored corners, providing inspiration while enhancing safety.

+2021 Participating artists: Sarah Fetterman, Scott Keva James, Lin-Lin Mao Mollitor, Boomslang Creatives, ERL, Seattle Design Nerds and Ken Roepe.
