The people who live in Seattle often take their exposure to outdoor art for granted.
Most Seattleites simply stroll by the sculptures of art and don't even notice them anymore, but for visitors and tourists these amazing pieces of art are something to behold.
With at least 400 permanent and 2,600 portable sculptures scattered throughout the city, you are bound to see some wherever you go.
Don't forget to walk inside some of the buildings to find pieces made using kiln elements.
Seattle was one of the first cities in the United States to support the public arts.
The city strives to include artwork at parks, libraries, roadways, bridges and other public venues to enrich the lives of its citizens.
One of the coolest things about these pieces of art is that they are all made from different mediums.
Aluminum, copper, glass, wood, concrete, stone, ceramic, bronze and many more different varieties can be found.
You can even find pieces of art that are environmentally friendly and made from reclaimed articles that would otherwise be thrown in the trash.
If you will be visiting the heart of downtown Seattle, there are plenty of walking tours for you to sign up for.
On a day where the weather is warm and sunny, a stroll along the waterfront will find you a diverse selection of art.
Between Myrtle Edwards Park and Olympic Sculpture Park (which are side by side) you will find at least 8 pieces to view.
Rather than being made on Brent pottery wheels, these parks feature artworks that are mostly painted steel sculpted to form various shapes.
You can also find pieces of granite, a fountain and a glass wall.
Not only does Seattle have pieces of art sculpted by hand on display, it also has a building that is a piece of artwork in its own right.
The Seattle Central Library, which opened to the public in 2004, is made of glass and steel into quite an unusual shape.
The library itself might be a work of art and something that you must visit if you come to Seattle, but there are also pieces of work installed throughout the building.
From a wood floor and video display screens to tree branches and blue ox, this building has a quite unique selection to view.
Wherever you go in Seattle you can be sure that the art you see will not be made from art lesson plans, but will be unique in every aspect.
