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 Market
Pike Place Market is a very bust place; littered with street performers and artisans; fish mongers and fruit vendors. Even numerous flower stands are surrounding you once you enter the market; even if you can't understand all the flower vendors through their accent :). Walking through Pike Place makes you feel like you have a real taste of Seattle, but most of the vendors call it a tourist hot spot. A lot of the fruit is imported but the fish is fresh of course. With what there is to offer at the market it seems odd that many vendors focus on the tourism, but i suppose its a little more expensive than a super market.
