Over the past two years, we have showcased the work of 87 local artists and provided essential arts coverage that encourages audience engagement, benefitting Seattle's galleries, arts organizations, event producers, performance venues, and creators. PublicDisplay.ART is distributed for free — providing Seattle's residents and visitors with a "go-to" guide to explore the local arts scene. PublicDisplay.ART is published by One Reel, a local 501c3 non-profit with 51 years of experience serving Seattle artistic community, and made possible through the work of a small staff of mostly volunteers, yet we compensate all featured artists and contributing writers.
