Community Celebration & Forum on Art Project
Friday, February 6, 2015, 4-5:45 pm
Legacy Hall at NAAM
2300 S. Massachusetts St.
Seattle, 98144
From 4-5 pm, enjoy activities such as performances by students in Grades 2-5, including the Thurgood Marshall Elementary Choir. At 5 pm, a forum will explore everyone’s ideas for the planned outdoor youth art project honoring Justice Marshall, the first African-American on the Supreme Court. He died in 1993, and in 1996, the Seattle School Board voted to name our neighborhood’s school for him.
The artwork will be installed this summer on the east side of the Thurgood Marshall Elementary School campus, near Martin Luther King Jr. Way. Much of the creative process will be in the hands of 24 neighborhood youth, led by a professional artist. The project is funded in part by a $24,300 “Small and Simple” grant from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, and supplemented by Community donations of time and other resources.
