Blue Sky Passage Panels on Third Avenue

Last winter, a 20-foot shipping container lined with wraparound photos of the sunny Cascade Mountains provided cloud-weary pedestrians a sunlit interlude. Commissioned by DSA and stationed in Westlake Park for several weeks, the art installation was a big hit with passersby of all ages. In effort to improve the pedestrian experience on Third Avenue, the panels from within the Blue Sky Passage have been installed in the vacant Aaron Brothers storefront between Pike and and Pine streets.
