| This rapidly developing project is forming
a relationship between the Skagit Artists Together (SAT) and
Skagit County Parks and Recreation to bring art into our
county parks. This provides a unique venue for the artists
to display their work and brings positive recognition to our
parks.
The liaison committee is comprised of representatives
from Skagit Artists Together, Parks and Recreation and the Skagit Parks
Foundation. Last May we toured three parks forming the strategy for our first project.
Park Bench Project
This will be a call to the artists
that belong to SAT to create park benches. The final
selections have been made. Shell Oil Refinery is the
generous sponsor this year contributing 50% of the artists
stipend through the Skagit Parks Foundation. Thank you
Shell! They will be on
display for one full year as well as available for
purchase through the artist.
