Original Design by Carol Clifford

Carol Clifford of Orange House Press has designed a one-of-a-kind letterpress print in celebration of the Duwamish River. Only 75 were printed!

The Duwamish River Festival is the unveiling and your chance to purchase a gorgeous, affordable piece of art. Proceeds go to South Park Arts and the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition.

Check out the sneak peek, and see ya Saturday at Duwamish Waterway Park. 12-6.

We can’t gripe about our lack of summer any more. It’s finally, FINALLY here. Let’s get out and enjoy it at the 2nd Annual South Park Putts Out!

Check out this year’s holes:

1.  The Flying Eagle
2. Salmon Come Home
3. Carniball
4. Evil Knievel Jumps South Park
5. Indiana Jones
6. RCVPP
7. Bridging the Gap
8. Sleepy Head
9. The Monster Under the Bed
10. The Catapult

Plus live music from DRUMMERBOY and Dubcar!

This Tues, Aug 2nd! From 6pm to 9pm
800 block of S. Thistle St. (across from the Community Center)

See ya in your golf knickers, tomorrow!

Next Wednesday, July 13th, let’s get out in force for a stroll or a bike ride around the neighborhood.

It’ll be the perfect excuse to enjoy a summer evening, chat up your neighbors and learn South Park fun facts (an historic former brothel, river restoration, a speakeasy, farming, skating–it’s all in the mix.) Plus you’ll be able to visit the studios of local artists.

Grab a map for a self-led tour or meet up at the Neighborhood Center for a guided bike tour. (There are two bike tours. One leaves at 6:30 and one at 7:30).

More updates to come, but plan on motivating yourself and others next Wednesday. For more ways to get In Motion, check out the King County program web page, and learn how to reduce single car trips.

Remember Foggy Mountain Breakdown from last year? Insane!

Hey you creative, resourceful whipper snappers. We know you want to build a mini-golf hole for South Park Putts Out. And we want to play it! It’s time to get in the application–the official due date is June 30th, just a week away.

This is a ridiculously fun way to dream up and build your own design and then watch it in action. We’ll get you $100 to cover your expenses (and more if you need it). Collaborations are most welcome.

Fear not the application. It’s no big whoop. Full instructions within: SP Putts Out Application 2011

Violet commanding The Urban Jungle

There it is. On page 10 of the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs Annual Report. If you really want to geek out, you can download the whole report and read it here. Or you can just skip to the cool part –the South Park Putts Out part. The hole pictured is Elizabeth and Bird’s winning ’Urban Jungle’, the hole that received the most votes from the neighborhood, and man, was it close.

We’re looking forward to this year’s creations and hoping it’s just as hard to pick your favorite. Start firing up those ideas and collaborations!

P.S.
Hi Violet!
