Public art dedication May 28 at Hilltop housing community Photo Courtesy City of Tacoma The Tacoma Arts Commission will dedicate two new public art installations at an affordable housing community in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood. The public art is located at Bay Terrace, a Tacoma Housing Authority property that offers 16 town homes, 54 apartment-style units, a 7,000-square-foot community/education center, and multi-purpose rooms for community programming. Tacoma Housing Authority hosted a grand-opening celebration in August to mark the completion of the project's first phase (see "Tacoma Housing Authority: Bay Terrace grand opening Aug. 25," Tacoma Daily Index, Aug. 8, 2014). Bay Terrace is a collaboration between the Tacoma Housing Authority, GGLO Architecture, and Absher Construction. In October, GGLO Architecture received an Excellence in Affordable Housing Award from the Tacoma Pierce County Affordable Housing Consortium for its work on the project (see "GGLO Architecture, MDC earn affordable housing awards," Tacoma Daily Index, Oct. 28, 2014) The artwork—"TransFORM" by Yuki Nakamura, and "Sea Branches & Pearls" by Diane Hansen and Jennifer Weddermann—aims to create a welcoming outdoor space just outside of the Bay Terrace Community Center, and respond to the concepts of community, security, and support. The public art was commissioned by the Tacoma Housing Authority in partnership with the Tacoma Arts Commission's Public Art: In Depth program, which trains established local artists to create public art. A public dedication ceremony celebrating the artworks, artists, and the Bay Terrace community will be

Tacoma seeks artists to design wraps for traffic boxes

The City of Tacoma invites artists living within the official city limits of Tacoma to submit qualifications to create an artwork design to be reproduced as a vinyl wrap and applied to traffic signal boxes throughout the city. This opportunity is open to visual artists working in any medium, as long as the final artwork can be translated and digitally reproduced on a twodimensional vinyl wrap. Up to 10 artists will be selected. Each artist

will be paid $1,000 for an approved final design and licensing rights that will enable the City to reproduce the final design on multiple traffic signal and/or utility boxes. The City will be responsible for printing and installation of the box wraps. The Traffic Box Wrap Project is designed to enhance the public realm by adding works of art by local artists to public infrastructure that is often targeted by vandalism. The wrapped boxes

are intended to enhance neighborhood and community identity, turn ordinary spaces into community landmarks, and promote community dialogue. This project is an extension of the Tacoma Murals Project, which has created 27 murals across Tacoma since 2010 in an effort to strategically revitalize and beautify the city. The application deadline expires on Weds., June 17. More information is available online at cityoftacoma.org/artsopps.
