Art instructor takes up residency at The Fremont Bridge
09/01/2009
Art instructor Kristen Ramirez, www.kristenramirez.com, was awarded a summer-long
residency in the Northwest tower of Seattle's historic Fremont Bridge. She worked
in a studio there this summer. She'll unveil her sound installation project "Bridge
Talks Back," and celebrate 12:30-4 p.m., Sat. Sept. 26 at The Fremont Bridge. Ramierez
has taught drawing classes, Art 101, 102, and 103 at the college.
From the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture Affairs:
The Fremont Bridge project was commissioned with Seattle Department of Transportation 1% for Art funds. Seattle artist Kristen Ramirez is working in one of the Fremont Bridge towers and is using it as a studio space from which to observe, contemplate and make art. In response to her experience on the bridge, Ramirez will develop a temporary project in the neighborhood later this summer.
