Notice the new art in the West Seattle Junction?

If you’ve been in The Junction since Friday, you might have noticed the new art in Pegasus Book Exchange‘s window (4553 California SW). Erika Bass sent a photo and report today, explaining its origins:

Check out the new public art piece, Paper Words, hanging in the window at Pegasus Book Exchange in the West Seattle Junction. The large papercut was created by teenage students in Erika Bass’ Creating Public Art class at Southwest Community Center’s Family Learning Program. The words and images were chosen by the students in response to visiting Pegasus and in celebration of this treasured West Seattle business.

The student artists in Erika’s photo are, from left, Fiona Hewitt, Asha Navaratnasingam, Lilah Christianson, Margot Lange, Ciaran O’Rourke, Elliott Custer. Not pictured, Oscar Callahan.

     Tickled to see the beautiful results of this wonderful project conceived by Erika, brought to life by her students, and gracing the windows of my favorite bookstore, Pegasus!

    Hey! This is great. Family Learning Program is our school and we are looking forward to trying our first art class next session as the last one was full for 5 yr olds. Thanks Erica for sharing this community experience with our students!
