Gateways Community Kick-Off Meeting

Imagine public art in Olympia neighborhoods! The Gateways concept is envisioned in the City’s 2015 Comprehensive Plan. The intent is to signal transition moving into and out of Olympia’s city center by means of eight gateways and landscaped boulevards at major transition points. The Olympia Arts Commission and Olympia Planning Commission are partnering on a Gateways Public Art Master Plan and have identified Gateways as an opportunity for public art that accomplishes several goals:

• Places public art deep into Olympia’s neighborhoods
• Contributes to a sense of community identity
• Introduces place making elements that help to define and also bring together different areas of our community

Eight neighborhood meetings will follow, along with a culminating community meeting.
