PH Coll 1621.LarnerA33During the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle, many small businesses were forced to temporarily close. Many suffered damage and theft as vandals began breaking store windows and defacing storefronts with graffiti. Store and local restaurant owners were forced to shutter their windows and doors with plywood as the COVID-19 Seattle wide shutdown continued. Neighborhood communities looked for ways to brighten up the shuttered businesses and to support local artists. Gradually many of the plywood shutters were converted to works of art, transforming neighborhoods with messages of hope, love and support.
The first confirmed case of the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States was announced by the Washington State Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on January 21, 2020. The patient had recently returned from Wuhan, China, on January 15, 2020, where a pneumonia outbreak caused by the coronavirus started in December 2019.
This case marked the beginning of the coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak in Washington State and the beginning of a radical change in the lives of the citizens of Washington and the rest of the United States. The virus rapidly spread through the population so that within a month, businesses were closed and boarded up, unemployment soared to record highs as people lost their jobs overnight, schools and public events were canceled. People began stocking up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and other products leaving grocery store shelves bare of some products. By March 23rd, Governor Jay Inslee directed Washington residents to stay home by executive order with exceptions for essential critical infrastructure workers. Until mid-March, Washington State had the highest number of confirmed cases and the highest number per capita of any state in the country, when it was surpassed by New York State as the virus spread throughout the country
Mask, "Juneteenth 1865," by Ashaunti Martin-Smith, Ashaunti Monique Customs, 2020
No full textAmong the local designers and artists who began making face masks in 2020, many Black designers were inspired to infuse powerful messages into their creations. This mask was sewn and hand painted by designer Ashaunti Martin-Smith of Ashaunti Monique Customs. Juneteenth is a celebration of Black liberation, celebrated on June 19th. It is the anniversary of the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to free slaves in that territory-- a full two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. In 2020 the celebration took on new meaning as the murder of George Floyd had sparked a wave of protests and a national reckoning with ongoing racism in America. Celebrations in Seattle were held with masks and outdoors because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. About her mask design, Martin-Smith wrote, “My mask represents unity and healing for everyone. Any and everyone can wear my masks to become further involved in the cultural movement that will help create change in our world and daily lives.”1 Mask, Surgical; Materials: fabric --paint; Dimensions: 5 in.H x 8.5 in.
Canoe Journeys paddle made by Keith Stevenson, Muckleshoot, ca. 2020
No full textTribal Canoe Journeys is a celebrated event for the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Participants travel and visit neighboring Nations in ocean-going canoes, usually made of traditional cedar material, but other materials and more modern techniques may be applied as well. Justice Bill (Muckleshoot/Tlingit) stated: “Canoe Journeys have revitalized our nations through travel by oceangoing canoes and the sharing of songs, dances, languages, and stories. When our peoples connect culturally, we are better able to govern ourselves by our ancestors’ standards. Canoe Journeys have restored relationships among villages from California to Alaska. As a traditional practice, traveling from village to village fosters relationships that strengthen our political clout in the modern settler state.” This paddle was made by Keith Stevenson (Muckleshoot) to honor and celebrate the Canoe Journeys.1 Paddle, Canoe; Materials: wood --paint --mother-of-pearl --reed --cotton; Dimensions: 60 in.H x 7 in.

PH Coll 1621.KinseyK117During the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle, many small businesses were forced to temporarily close. Many suffered damage and theft as vandals began breaking store windows and defacing storefronts with graffiti. Store and local restaurant owners were forced to shutter their windows and doors with plywood as the COVID-19 Seattle wide shutdown continued. Neighborhood communities looked for ways to brighten up the shuttered businesses and to support local artists. Once Ballard businesses began to board up their storefronts, Ballard Alliance started working on a program to convert the plywood boards on Ballard Ave. and the surrounding streets into community art, covering them with beautiful murals and messages of hope, love and support.
