The new convention center welcomes guest with special handcrafted art
New artwork will be featured in the Seattle Convention Center opening Wednesday.
Five female Indigenous artists were chosen back in 2019 to create the artwork that would decorate the entryways of the new convention center.
Malynn Foster is an Indigenous artist who creates Salish carvings. Foster has several carvings being installed at the convention center, two of which will greet visitors at the Ninth Avenue entrance.
“The truth is, is that whenever it comes to public arts, if opportunities aren't given to Native artists about our own work, our own lived experience, our own cultural belief systems, and only Native-inspired arts are created and placed in these lands,” said Foster. “It creates a false narrative of who we are.”
