It's amazing how on it Capitol Hill Seattle blog is. No sooner did I think, "I wonder what those guys are painting," before CHS reporter Bryan Cohen provided the answer:
Lead artist Angela Larsen told CHS the mural will include, among other elements, a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement — a wraparound message that says “Read up, Hands down.”
Rickmark president Bill Donner said he basically gave Burke and youth-focused group Urban Artworks carte blanche to liven up his building that has stayed the same mauve-ish color since he bought it in 1971.
“Make it something that’s a little more relevant to the people living here today,” Donner said.
He also told them: no horizontal lines.
Thank you, Mr. Donner, for being great. And you, too, CHS.
