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
The first place we went to was an art vendor who made ceramic musical whistles. He explained some of the processes on how to make them and told us how that he liked the market because it is like a family of people. We asked him how they get stands where they do, he said that you get a number and they draw it in the morning and when you get your number drawn you get to to choose a spot. The longer you have been at the market the lower your number is and you have a better choice of spots. Also he said that after awhile vendors will start to stake out there territory and if another person takes there usual spot, they get growled at.
