History Link recently featured an article on our Art in Public Places Program (AIPP), in honor of the 50th anniversary of AIPP’s establishment.
“Through the establishment of its ‘art in public places’ program in 1974, this state agency has built a collection of more than 5,000 works by locally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists sited in 1,300 buildings: public K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and state buildings throughout nearly all of Washington’s 39 counties. Washington’s State Art Collection is one of the oldest and largest statewide public art collections in the nation.”
