King Counties newest Office Bulidng-The Chinook Building already includes integrated works by California artist Anna Valentina Murch and Washington artist Glenn Rudolph, along with an extensive collection of portable works by artists from through the country.  The Chinook Building was developed for King County by Wright Runstad & Company using a non-profit/private/public partnership model. As part of the opening of The Chinook, each of the King County Councilmembers and King County Executive Ron Sims nominated 13 citizens of King County that have made a significant mark on the history of this region. Each floor of the building is named after these outstanding individuals. To make visitors more aware of these remarkable citizens, 4Culture is commissioning artwork for each of the 13 floors that document some aspect of their life and work. A site in the elevator lobby of each floor has been set aside as a location for the artwork.  This competition is open to visual artists and illustrators living in King County. One artist will be selected to develop all 13 works, one for each floor.  For more information visit:http://www.4culture.org/publicart/calls/default.aspÂ
