Shunpike will carry out a three-phase public art project that starts with artist residencies on the former site of Teatro Zinzanni, continues with the Artists of Color Expo & Symposium (ACES) in the Armory at Seattle Center on November 17-18th, and concludes with community-generated and youth-created murals surrounding the Seattle International Film Festival's Uptown Cinema.
