Arts Commission World Cup “Soccer Ball” Artist Contract - Leah Everett
body
DEPARTMENT: Executive
ORIGINATOR: Tonya Watson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved
PURPOSE: Arts Commission Public Art Activation for World Cup -- “The Great Soccer Ball Hunt” Artist Contract
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County Code 2.95.010 created the Snohomish County Arts Commission advisory board. This board gives advice on how to use the 1% for the arts funds and recommends annual work plans under SCC 2.95.050. The Arts Commission’s 2026 council-approved work plan calls for a World Cup arts installation series. This project is intended to generate World Cup tourism throughout the county through a public art “scavenger hunt” of five oversized soccer balls - one placed in each county council district. These “soccer balls” are made from 58” steel maritime buoys and will be painted by local artists. The result: public arts dollars going directly into the local creative economy, public art adding value to County properties, and local communities benefitting from tourism dollars. A win-win-win. This $4000 contract is for a local artist, Leah Everett, who will be paid for her supplies, time, and talent in creating one of the giant buoy soccer balls. She will be paid $2000 upon delivery of her design, and $2000 upon completion of the project.
