Through October 2008, visitors to the SeaTac International Airport North Terminal will be able to view artwork created by some very special artists.

Using a myriad of recycled objects, Northwest artists from Creative ArtSpace and Art Escape designed teapots primarily for fun rather than mere functionality.  In the spirit of “found art,” artists scavenged at least one pot body, handle, lid and spout; often garnering numerous spouts or handles.  These were assembled according to whim, whimsy, or the dictates of imagination.  Wonderful re-created Ming vases and dragon paintings complete the exploration of Asian art from this very unique perspective.

This exhibit is a small sampling of the vibrant and creative voices of contemporary Northwest artists with developmental disabilities and vivid, imaginative capabilities.  These artists participate in the Art Escape program at the Moshier Community Art Center in Burien, WA and in the Creative ArtSpace program at the Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Services Resource Centerin Kent, WA.  Instructor Shariana Mundi works with the artists in an atmosphere of playful exploration and creative expression.
