(A total of 70 artworks by 57 artists were purchased)

They each participated in the Fresh Perspectives Youth Curatorial Training Program, jointly organized by Seattle Public Utilities and the Office of Arts & Culture.

This program includes conversations with curators and arts administrators from galleries, museums and public collections. It also provides the opportunity to serve on the selection panel, and learn about budgets and art handling.
