MLB Art Installation – Conceived by local muralist Brady Black, the Seattle Center Monorail columns are adorned with murals depicting eight stars of the game and eight Seattle sports fans, signifying the connection between baseball and the greater community. In designing the murals, Black developed a paint-by-number system that allowed youth artists from Urban ArtWorks and Seattle residents to take part in their creation. Art installation is in partnership with Visit Seattle, Seattle Monorail Services, Seattle Center, and Climate Pledge Arena.
Photo Opportunity – Take a photo with a big baseball located on the Thomas Street ramp that leads up to the Seattle Center Monorail platform. The baseball is about 5’x5’x5′.
