In December 1999 the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) purchased an 8 acre former industrial property on
Seattle’s waterfront. SAM is creating a public park that will also serve as an outdoor display
space for large sculptures. The park is uniquely situated between the popular Belltown neighborhood
and Myrtle Edwards Park. It will become a green space corridor in which the public can experience
art outdoors, while enjoying the city’s waterfront. Upon its completion, the Olympic Sculpture Park
will become one of the city’s cultural highlights for both local residents and visitors.
barrientos is providing project management support for SAM’s director of
capital projects, and has been deeply involved in all aspects of the park’s development. This
includes running an international designer selection process, plus managing the highly complex
design and construction of the park.
