Seattle Center is pleased to collaborate with Seattle Office of Arts & Culture to bring Seattle Center Sculpture Walk to campus as part of our Temporary Art Program. Yearly funding is provided by Seattle Center 1% for Arts Funds, Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken. Enjoy Seattle Center Sculpture Walk on our grounds, mid-August through April 2025. These three artists were selected through a competitive process to receive commissions at Seattle Center.

Title: Jack the Giant
Artist: June Sekiguchi
Location: kiosk by Mural Amphitheatre

Based on the children's game of jacks, this sculpture uses intersecting planes for structural form and is the largest iteration of the sculpture the artist has produced. The nostalgic incarnation of a super-sized jack located at Seattle Center is an appropriate setting as it is the epicenter of festivals, culture and play.
More info on artist. 

Title: Crybaby
Artist: Nichole Rathburn
Location: Artists at Play Plaza

Scale, material and color turn a crying face into something more reminiscent of a carnival sign, reminding me of the precarious relationship between comedy and tragedy. Crybaby feels like a ludicrous representation of my (and maybe your?) insides.
More info on artist. 

Title: What the F*** Just Happened
Artist: Gerardo Pena
Location: Fisher Pavilion eastside tower

A visual representation of the chaotic period that was the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and the lingering affects that have prevailed the years after, and in some ways, forever altered our way of life.
