Art Around the Clock Redmond’s Outdoor Gallery
The Redmond Commission for Art in Public Places (RCAPP) proudly announces the installation of Round 8 of the Art Around the Clock (AATC) program, Redmond’s flagship outdoor public art exhibition. Thirteen new sculptures by artists from across the country are now on display throughout downtown Redmond, continuing the program’s mission to enhance the city’s identity through creative placemaking.
“Art Around the Clock was created to bring rotating public art into everyday spaces that everyone in Redmond can enjoy,” remarks RCAPP Chari Darlene Veenhuizen. “Each new piece is on loan, and select invites conversation, sparks curiosity and helps shape the identity of our community. The artworks reflect shared values and support the mission of building pride and connection through public art.”
