About the STart Public Art Program
Sound Transit allocates a portion of project construction costs to art. Art within the regional transit system includes free-standing art, functional art and temporary art. STart works with local communities, design professionals and transit partners to select artists and artworks appropriate for each project.
Residencies
Residency programs allow STart to collaborate with artists on a higher level. Artists are able to get a broader perspective on what the challenges are in building a regional transit system, while at the same time offering innovative approaches to address those challenges. Through residencies, STart is able to stay connected with local arts communities and reach out to new talent.
Commissions
Commission opportunities are currently planned through 2009. Projects will range from major works of art to temporary commissions, including opportunities for emerging artists. Visit our Call for Artists page to find out about commission opportunities and register for email notifications.
