Public art on Mercer Island C
heck out events, activities, and public art Mercer Island has to offer at STQRY (pronounced, “story”). STQRY is a dynamic mobile and web platform that is used by organizations to tell their stories. Always a free download, the application uses mapping already on your Apple, Windows, or Android phone to populate the landscape with cultural sites and events all around your current location. QR codes placed on signage allow the user to scan and retrieve information about the individual site or artwork to get detailed information, photos, and videos (hence the QR in STQRY). Discover art around you by turning your phone into a smARTphone and watch for new Mercer Island Arts Council stories! www.stqry.com • • •
