Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center
Artworks center youth and families involved with the juvenile justice system.
4Culture believes in juvenile justice reform that results in zero youth detention. We also believe artists can lead the way in enacting this change, as culture-bearers, storytellers, and community-builders.
Every single artist involved with the Judge Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center project has demonstrated a commitment to uplifting young people. Likewise, all of the facility’s public art centers youth voice and supports system-involved youth and families. The artworks at the CFJC consist of 10 murals, 91 portable works, Horatio Law’s Three Bells of Liberty, and two permanent pieces that were re-sited from the Youth Services Center, Nohn Truong’s Making Choices and Marvin Oliver’s Spirit of Our Youth.
As King County’s public art agency, 4Culture is responsible for administering 1% for Art revenue generated by capital construction. This project was executed in partnership with the county’s Facilities Management Division. In 2015, using partial funding from the Center’s art budget, 4Culture launched Creative Justice, an arts-based alternative to youth incarceration that advocates for institutional change.
