Blueprint: Art and Urban Planning

 
April 2010 

The Blueprint exhibition brings together the work of Washington artists and planners around the theme of transit oriented communities.  Two exhibits will take place side by side in the lobby and gallery of Downtown Spokane’s Saranac Building: 

The Saranac lobby will feature a traveling urban planning exhibit titled “Blueprint for Transit Oriented Communities.” It is an action plan for promoting neighborhoods that give people greater access to housing, jobs, shopping, and recreation without relying on a personal vehicle.  Created by GGLO, Futurewise, and the Transportation Choices Coalition the purpose of the Blueprint is to provide guidance and inspiration for community at large, and also to serve as an advocacy manual for new legislation that will promote exemplary transit oriented communities in cities throughout Washington State. 

The Saranac gallery will showcase the works of 12 contemporary artists responding to themes of “transit” and our “built environment.” Their raw vision of the ever changing urban landscape will inspire us to rethink our perceptions of the space around us.  Participating artists: Nickolus Meisel, Jen Erickson, Jeremy Mangan, Roger Ralston, Nancy Hathaway, Rimas K. Simaitis, Quill Hyde, Jenny Hyde, Rajah Bose, Gabriel Brown, Lance Sinnema, and Patrick Sullivan.
