Picture shows Metro employees in front of large multi-panel installation by Linh Hoang and Keiko Budech.

Three art projects by King County Metro employees were unveiled today honoring the American Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pasifika (AANHP) communities: A bus wrap by Vance Sakado, bus shelter artwork by Wan-Lin Tsou, and a large multi-panel installation by Linh Hoang and Keiko Budech.

Picture shows group of Metro employees in front of Operator Sakado's art emblazoned across the sides of a 60-foot-long bus.

Surrounded by the artists and their families, Metro General Manager Michelle Allison led the unveiling of their work. The projects were selected after Metro employees were invited to submit their artwork and ideas for graphic or artistic symbols of the history and rich contributions of our AANHP community to the region and country.

Art representative of Vance Sakado's family is emblazoned across the sides of a 60-foot-long bus that will be seen around the region. joined by an installation honoring AANHP mothers that will grace Metro facilities and a third project of images from AANHP culture that will be displayed at bus shelters throughout Seattle?s historic Chinatown-International District.
