A couple more neighborhood art notes new Nagle mural, Howe Street Stairs pigeon, and quirky construction signs on Broadway

The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture has opened applications for its Arts in Parks grant, offering funding from $2,000 to $8,000 for arts projects in underserved communities. The initiative aims to support cultural participation and enrich the local environment. A new mural created by Urban ArtWorks’ Base Crew has been unveiled above Nagle Place on the Broadway Building, emphasizing community engagement through art. Additionally, new artwork has been spotted at the Howe Street Stairs, with local residents encouraged to explore the area. Handmade signs near a construction site at Broadway and Pine have drawn attention for their quirky charm, though some locals express concerns about pedestrian safety.

This construction site will eventually house the Constellation Center, an eight-story affordable apartment project set to open in 2027. The combination of these artistic initiatives and community feedback illustrates the importance of local involvement in shaping the neighborhood. Such projects not only beautify the area but also foster a sense of community among residents.
