Sound Transit artist roster workshop on tap at the VALA Art Center

Sound Transit’s STart program is establishing a national roster of pre-qualified artists for public art projects throughout the greater Puget Sound region. The roster will be effective for a period of three years and serve as one of the means of selecting artists to create permanent, site-specific artwork for the agency’s expanding transit system. Art projects will vary in size and complexity, with budgets of approximately $30,000 to $600,000.
