Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2019, @ArtspaceUSA is now a network of more than 50 properties in more than 20 states, developing residential and work-space for artists and advocating for their needs. With more than 1,000 artists on the waiting list in Seattle alone, Artspace opened its third project in the city in 2014, on Rainier Ave adjacent to the Mt. Baker Light Rail Station. Originally from New Orleans, illustrator and fine artist Craig Cundiff moved to Seattle after Hurricane Katrina and South Seattle Emerald reports that his work "explores anatomy, space, and displacement." Rainier Valley native Ari Glass describes himself as a 'spiritual painter' and his work reflects the rich cultural diversity of the area. Now living alongside each other at Artspace the two have collaborated on multiple projects transforming the neighborhood, including this 2016 wall of the nearby auto parts store.  @craigcundiff/  @thesoufender/

Despite his prep-school upbringing in the suburbs of Seattle, and widespread criticism of a variety of business practices, Ian Eisenberg—he prefers to be called Ike—has gone onto run Washington's busiest pot shop business with what @SeattleTimes calls "the audacity of a circus master." In 2015 the @UncleIkesPotShop location at Union St and 23rd Ave invited celebrated local muralist Joe Nix to paint this wall between its parking lot and @TheNeighborLady206 bar next door. With his usual attention to detail Nix staged a photo shoot of Uncle Ike's 'budtender' Amanya wearing a t-shirt which reads 'Uhuru'—the Swahili word for freedom.  @joe.nix/  @uncleikesglassandgoods/

A Miami-born African American activist in the Civil Rights Movement, Edwin T. Pratt became the Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League in 1961 and was a champion for equal access to education and housing until his assassination in 1969. For more than four decades the Pratt Fine Arts Center has continued Pratt's legacy by making art accessible to anyone, of any age, background, or skill level. In 2010 Seattle muralist and designer Derek Wu, with Sara Ferguson and John Horton assisting, led a team of six young student assistants creating this work at Jackson St and 20th Ave. Wu says the "dream-like state" portrayed is at least in part inspired by M.C. Escher, but clearly there are many influences reflected including Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.  @prattfinearts/
