The Washington Millennium
project put water as its central theme
With the importance
of water to the Yakima Valley in mind, Millennium Artist Wen-ti
Tsen partnered with the Allied Arts Council of Yakima Valley on
an Artists & Communities residency project that put water
as its central theme. Tsen consulted with community residents
of all ages and backgrounds, soliciting ideas for elements depicting
the social, economic, and physical environment of the region.
He then translated these ideas into the design of a sculptural
Millennium Plaza slated for installation in downtown Yakima.
