Short Description
Community Roots Housing (CRH) believes in quality places to live for people from all walks of life. We develop and manage affordable homes for over 2000 residents in nearly 50 buildings across the Seattle area. 12th Ave Arts is our mixed-use building in the center of the Capitol Hill Arts District. Since 2015, 12th Ave Arts has been home to award-winning dance, theatre, and music serving more than 20,000 patrons annually.
Proposals may include multiple pieces and may be new or existing work.
This installation is planned for:
- Theatre Entry: 15’ x 30’ wall with 15’ ceiling capable of hanging installation art above audience
