The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission invites residents to a continued conversation regarding future art on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 at the Kirkland Justice Center in the Totem Lake Room.
The Justice Center is located at 11740 Northeast 118th Street in Kirkland.
Guy Michaelsen, principal of the Berger Partnership, and the consultant tasked with developing a plan to integrate art on the corridor, will lead the conversation. Registration is appreciated and can be found at artontheckc.eventbrite.com.
In 2012, the city of Kirkland purchased a 5.75 mile segment of the 42-mile Eastside Rail Corridor, naming it the Cross Kirkland Corridor. A Master Plan process for the development of the CKC was launched in 2013 and the Kirkland City Council adopted the Master Plan in 2014. The Master Plan established goals for the CKC, including: Connect Kirkland, foster a greener Kirkland, shape a place unique to Kirkland and activate Kirkland and evolve over time. Building from these goals, the Cultural Arts Commission is leading efforts to develop plans for how art, in a variety of forms, including performance, interactive, temporary and permanent, can be incorporated in the Corridor experience.
