Vulcan actually has commissioned a lot of art for its buildings- but you cant find out about it, because the artists must sign non-disclosure contracts, and are not allowed to discuss the locations, budgets, or who purchased these pieces.
Many well known Seattle artists have images of work, that, if you ask them about it, tell you- "I'm not allowed to discuss it".
A lot of it is much better than this- there are some pretty good Vulcan owned pieces by people like Leo Saul Berk.
I don't mind it. It doesn't say much, but it doesn't need to. It's paint on the side of a building, which was put there in hopes shittier paint wouldn't end up on the side of that building.
There is a lot of great art by local artists in the neighborhood and Vulcan is proud to promote theses artworks and the artists that created them. You can download a brochure that shows the location of each piece and describes the pieces in detail here:
Vulcan is proud to promote the art it has commissioned in the South Lake Union neighborhood as well as the artists that have created these exceptional pieces. You can find the location of each artwork and a decription in the following brochure which is available publicallly on our website:
"Not your average neighborhood. Not your average developer." is kind of a dumb line when you realize SLU and Vulcan are more or less the poster children for average neighborhood and developer in Seattle.
No, it's true that they aren't your average developer. They are much worse than average. Most developers don't take over and destroy an entire neighborhood.

The Gama-Go style bird to the right is cute... but why is the hammer taking the city away?
