Artists have been selected to receive $55,000 each to create four artworks for Prairie Line Trail, a pedestrian and bicycle path in downtown Tacoma.
A panel of community members and stakeholders picked the artists. They are Matthew Dockrey and Ryan Elizabeth Feddersen; two artist teams, Esteban Camacho Steffensen and Jessilyn Brinkerhoff; and Rotator, made up of Lance Kagey, Scott Varga and Mark Alvis.
The works will provide historic interpretation for important locations or themes along the trail, according to a press release from the city of Tacoma.
The city also is working with the Chinese Reconciliation Foundation to install “Shipment to China” on the trail by the end of June. The artwork was created by Hai Ying Wu in 1996 to honor Chinese railroad workers.
