Harborview showcases Coyote Kids art through Nov. 17

Interested in seeing the work of young emerging artists? Artwork by young artists from Coyote Central, Seattle’s premier youth art program, is on display in the Harborview Cafeteria through Friday, Nov. 17.

Working with professional Seattle artists Liza von Rosenstiel and Tip Toland, the artists, ages 12 to 20, created narrative paintings based on Aesop’s Fables. They depicted the fables in the format of traditional wall hangings using rice paper with tempera washes and black ink applied with sumi brushes. Coyote regularly teams with professional artists to create artworks for public benefit. Harborview has partnered with Coyote on projects in the past and is planning a future collaboration next summer.
