Rebecca Bird Wins Commission for 15 x 91 foot Mural for the Ground Floor of New Seattle Children's Research Institute's Building Cure
  
NEW YORK, October 22, 2018 - William Holman Gallery and Seattle Children's Research Institute are very pleased to announce the award of a major interior mural commission to artist Rebecca Bird, a native of Seattle, Washington, who lives and works in New York. The mural, to be completed over the next ten months, will be unveiled during the summer of 2019 at the opening of Seattle Children's newest pediatric research facility Building Cure™, located at Stewart Street and Terry Avenue, in downtown Seattle.
Bird was selected from over 125 regional and national artists invited to be part of the competitive selection process. Spanning the full length of a basketball court and 15 feet tall, the mural is one of the largest interior commissions of its kind in the United States, and will occupy the Stewart Street Lobby public interior space, visible from the street 24 hours a day and open to the public during business hours. The composition focuses on a series of narrative vignettes about the history and mission of the research institute within an abstracted landscape representing the broader field of human experience and future endeavor.
