  • Square Feet 2013
    Square Feet 2013 Wrap-up Report Square Feet 2013 : a wrap-up report Published by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture in January 2014 Edited by Matthew Richter Event Photographs by Jenny Crooks Introduction Square Feet 2013 convened on Monday, November 18, 2013 to explore the idea of Cultural Districts as a way to support the work of artists and arts and cultural organizations in Seattle. The event was produced by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and 4Culture. Centered on a keynote address from creative placemaking expert Anne Gadwa Nicodemus, the day also featured presentations from twenty local projects in motion, and a working session that resulted in a $10,000 investment by the Office of Arts & Culture in an idea generated by the day’s attendees. Over 150 people, representing arts organizations, independent artists, funders, developers, property owners, architectural designers and consultants, universities, and local government took part in the day, which was hosted by the Lee Center for the Arts, the Northwest Film Forum, and the Velocity Dance Center, all on 12th Avenue on Capitol Hill. A note about the text of this report: We solicited the presenters’ remarks following the event for inclusion in this report. Some of the speakers had prepared remarks, some spoke from general notes, and some spoke extemporaneously. We have attempted to present all of these in a format that makes sense to the reader. Matthew Richter, Cultural Space Liaison from the Office of Arts & Culture, started the day with some opening remarks: Welcome to Square Feet 2013, a day-long event produced by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and 4Culture.
