Waterfront Histories: Artists in Residence 2020‑2021

In 2020 and 2021, as part of a joint response from the City of Seattle to fund the arts during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Friends of Waterfront Seattle initiated a virtual artist residency that created opportunities for artists while asking them to explore the past, present, and future of our city’s waterfront from an arts lens. Artist in Resident Takyah Ward was selected and partnered with artists from across the city, including Psych-Pop, Evelynn Li, Jac Oliver Trautman, Marcus Jackson, Rey Daoed, Tyler Ung, Damon “Creative Lou” Brown, Scott Méxcal, and Sneke One.
