The Artist in Place is a year-long exploration of place and its relationship to the work of the artist. Through field study of evocative locales, observation, reading, writing, reflection, and thoughtful discussion, we will build a direct understanding of the place where we live and examine its impact on the work we do. Please make use of this space to share thoughts, ask questions, exchange ideas, and post photos.

Pike Place
When your at this market you see so many different things going on. You see tourists going around having a good time, business people trying their best to sell THEIR fish rather than you going to buy the one literally 8 steps away, and artists trying their best to make enough money to get through that day. You see so many different people there its amazing. The wide variety of people in itself would be enough to make you want to go down there. The popularity is what brings you down there but for me it is the artists that make me stay much later than I had planned and make me miss all other appointments that I had planned for that day. These aren't the performers that I am used to seeing on the streets back were i come from. These are experts at their craft, and I do not use that term lightly. They do not just sing the words, you can see such great emotion behind the lyrics that you can't help but stay for just a few songs more.
