The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs actively purchases existing artwork through several competitions each year. Purchases are chosen by juries of local and non-local art professionals who are charged with selecting artwork of high quality and diversity of expression for the City of Seattle 1% for Art Portable Works Collection.

The collection currently includes approximately 2,800 works exhibited on a two-year rotation basis throughout the public spaces in City of Seattle buildings. Artworks in the Portable Works Collection are also made available for exhibit loans to museums.

Seattle's 1% for Art program integrates artworks and the ideas of artists into a variety of public settings. Artworks commissioned through the program are an expression of our time, displayed in spaces accessible to community members as they participate in City-related activity and engage in public life.
