Teen Neighborhood Sculpture Tours

The Seattle Art Museum's Design Your Hood students came to the Washington House & Studio last week.  This Thursday a group from the Wing Luke Museum, named YouthCAN, will tour the Foundation.  This is all part of a Neighborhood Tour that the Foundation created to highlight some of James Washington's public sculpture that is located in the Central District.

The students walk through the streets of the CD from piece to piece following a map.  Information on a worksheet gives them history of the community and art.  They finish up at the Washington House & Studio for a tour and lunch.
