Phinney Neighborhood Association

D�a de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday honoring the dead with food, drink, and festivities. It's a time to commemorate the dead and celebrate their lives with family and friends. This annual Phinney-Greenwood community event sponsored by the Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA) will be held on November 5, 2022, from 11am to 3pm. The celebration includes the dedication of a traditional three-tiered ofrenda (altar) for offerings to the deceased, live entertainment, food and drink, and crafts. The event is free and open to the community city-wide.

This project will create an inclusive, quirky, secular, business-district-focused lighting tradition that represents the Phinney-Greenwood Community. The project will create a lighted animals that artistically and emotionally resemble the Holiday Monkeys, which were retired in 2020 as a part of our organization's commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The anticipated project completion date is April 29, 2022.

The Phinney Neighborhood Association's `Artistic Signal Box` aims to strengthen community identity and provide shared cultural landmarks by transforming functional infrastructure into compelling public art, celebrating diversity and enriching the urban environment in the PhinneyWood area (i.e. Phinney Ridge and Greenwood). The project will also provide visibility for emerging and BIPOC artists to showcase their talents and connect with the community. Nineteen artists, selected through a juried process with community input, will design artwork for 19 SDOT signal boxes. The theme, `Wander PhinneyWood,` invites artists to explore the area's uniqueness, highlighting personal and collective connections. The completed artworks will create a connected experience, encouraging exploration of local landmarks, green spaces, and businesses along the route.
