LEGACY SQUARE ART PLAN
Introduction
Legacy Square is envisioned as a dynamic hub of activity and connection for the Renton community.
While its initial development aligns with the 2026 World Cup, the square is designed to serve as a
lasting focal point for the city’s cultural, recreational, and social life well into the future.
Featuring a soccer pitch, performance stage, food vendors, and a newly renovated playground,
Legacy Square will provide countless opportunities for residents and visitors alike to gather,
celebrate, and engage. This Art Plan outlines the placement of public artworks throughout the
park’s evolution, along with guiding principles to support the thoughtful selection of artists and
artworks that reflect Renton’s character and aspirations.

Legacy Square: Description and Setting
Located at the corner of S 3rd Avenue and Logan Avenue S, Legacy Square sits at the heart of
Renton. It is adjacent to community neighbors such as the Church of the Living God the Light of
the World, Harmony Childcare Center, and the Renton Civic Theater. Across Logan Avenue, the
Renton Pavilion Events Center and Piazza Park extend the cultural landscape, while the Cedar
River meanders just two blocks away.
Surrounded by the unique shops and restaurants along Renton’s walkable 3rd Avenue corridor,
Legacy Square will serve as a vibrant new gathering place—an energetic core within an already
thriving downtown. By weaving art into the square’s design and experience, the park will become
not only a hub for community activity but also a living reflection of Renton’s identity and spirit.

Features of Renton
The City of Renton is a place where diverse forces intersect to create a vibrant and dynamic
community. Renton is nationally recognized as one of the most diverse ZIP codes in the country,
with residents representing a wide range of languages, cultures, and traditions. This diversity
is reflected in the city’s 30+ unique neighborhoods, each contributing to Renton’s collective
identity.
Diversity / Diversity is one of Renton’s greatest strengths. It is both a source of pride for residents
and a defining feature of the city’s culture, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and belonging.
Outdoors / The Cedar River flows through the heart of Renton, serving as a natural landmark
and source of community pride. The city’s distinctive library, perched directly above the
river, underscores the river’s role as an integral part of daily life. Together with the city’s many
parks, trails, and open spaces, the river makes Renton a destination for outdoor recreation and
appreciation of the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty.
Athletics / Athletics are a defining thread in Renton’s identity. Both the Seattle Seahawks and
Seattle Sounders maintain practice facilities in the city, reflecting Renton’s ties to professional
sports. Within the community, Legacy Square’s soccer pitch further reinforces this connection,
offering residents a place to engage in sport and celebrate active living.
Arts / The arts in Renton thrive alongside athletics, reflecting the city’s diversity and creativity.
From community hubs such as Wyldwood Creative to events like Art in Motion and the
Downtown Art Walk, and with institutions including the Renton Civic Theater and Renton Art
Lounge, the city is a destination for those seeking inspiration, expression, and creativity.
Gaming and Fantasy / Renton has also become a unique cultural hub for gaming and fantasy.
Home to Wizards of the Coast and beloved community mascots like Erasmus the Dragon, Renton
embraces a playful identity that sets it apart from other cities in the Pacific Northwest. While
the city continues to expand its broader identity, residents take pride in this distinctive and
imaginative cultural thread.
History and Industry / Renton’s roots are grounded in a rich, blue-collar history of coal
mining and manufacturing. Over time, the city has transformed into a hub for innovation, with
technology and aerospace serving as major drivers of its modern economy. This balance of
history and progress continues to shape Renton’s character.
Community Events / Renton’s spirit comes alive through its many community events, including
River Days, farmers’ markets, gaming meet-ups, and seasonal celebrations such as dragon egg
hunts. These gatherings embody the city’s vibrancy, and Legacy Square is envisioned as a central

Community Engagement
Through conversations with residents and local leaders, several themes consistently emerge as
defining elements of Renton’s identity.
One of the most diverse communities in the nation, where cultures, voices, and perspectives thrive.
A city rooted in history while embracing a bold, tech-driven future.
A deep appreciation for parks, nature, and the everyday beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
A community where people feel welcome to be themselves.
Community Crests
As part of a community engagement initiative, residents of all ages were invited to design sports-
inspired crests representing Renton’s unique qualities. The project was originally conceived as a
playful way to imagine Renton as a “league of cultural teams.” The resulting crests provided an
engaging visual display while reflecting the diversity, pride, and creativity of the community.
The entries revealed what residents value most about their city, offering insight into shared
symbols and stories that inform Renton’s evolving identity.

LEGACY SQUARE ART PLAN
Artwork Themes and Aesthetic
Legacy Square will be an active and dynamic space, with limited room for large-scale artwork.
As such, artworks must be thoughtfully integrated to enliven the environment without
detracting from its functionality as a gathering place.
The design of Legacy Square leans into a natural aesthetic, reflected in the remodeled
playground’s wood and stone elements, the corten steel stage, and the concrete infrastructure
throughout the park. Artwork should harmonize with this backdrop of earthy browns and grays
while incorporating bold pops of color to highlight messages and invite attention.

LEGACY SQUARE ART PLAN § ARTWORK THEMES AND AESTHETIC
primary theme
Movement
The overarching theme of “Movement” reflects both the physical activity of the square and the
vibrancy of the Renton community. With the soccer pitch, remodeled playground, and Legacy
Square’s role as a hub for gatherings and celebrations, the space is envisioned as having its own pulse.
Artworks may interpret “Movement” through visual motifs such as flowing lines, dynamic shapes,
or playful elements reminiscent of squiggles, heartbeats, bouncing balls, or musical crescendos.
The theme may also extend to kinetic artworks that incorporate literal motion, reinforcing the
sense of energy and momentum within the park.
secondary themes
Discovery / Renton offers endless opportunities for discovery—whether through its unique
downtown shops, diverse neighborhoods, or vibrant events. Art in Legacy Square should echo
this spirit, encouraging visitors to explore through small, hidden artworks or rotating pieces that
invite repeat visits.
Gamification / Interactive and playful artworks can further engage the community. Reflecting
Renton’s gaming culture, installations may incorporate elements of participation, storytelling, or
interactive play—bringing joy and a sense of ownership to the space.
Elevating the Arts / The City of Renton is committed to elevating the arts. Public artworks in
Legacy Square should be thoughtful, high-quality contributions that consider form, materiality,
and context. Beyond decoration, each piece should deepen the park’s cultural resonance and
align with the broader vision of Renton as a creative, forward-thinking community.
History / Legacy Square exists within the context of Renton’s evolving history, which should
inform artistic choices and ensure works feel authentic to the city’s character.
Light / Lighting is a central design feature of Legacy Square, with programmable elements
to support community gatherings, sporting events, and seasonal celebrations. Artists are
encouraged to explore creative uses of light to amplify the park’s atmosphere.
Nature / Organic forms and inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty can align with
the overarching theme of movement, creating a sense of harmony between art and environment.
Language as Opportunity / Given Renton’s remarkable diversity, language offers a powerful
opportunity for artistic expression. Multilingual elements, developed in partnership with
community resources, can highlight and celebrate cultural representation in an inclusive way.

LEGACY SQUARE ART PLAN
Phases for Artwork
With Legacy Square scheduled to open in June 2026, the timeline for artwork implementation
must be carefully coordinated. To ensure both impact and feasibility, artwork is envisioned in
three phases.
phase one
Phase One focuses on early implementation. These artworks should be installed as quickly as
possible to generate excitement, signal the importance of art within Legacy Square, and build
anticipation for the park’s opening.
phase two
Phase Two represents the most critical stage, aligning with the park’s grand opening and the
2026 World Cup. Artworks in this phase will be integral to the park’s unveiling, requiring close
coordination with structural development. These should serve as signature, high-impact pieces
that establish Legacy Square as a landmark destination.
phase three
Phase Three includes optional artworks that may be integrated into existing park infrastructure
or added in the future. Flexible in both process and timeline, these pieces will enhance the park’s
sense of place and provide opportunities for continued growth and engagement.

Wall Art / Mural
The most visible and readily achievable project is a large wall mural on the façade facing Legacy
Square. The wall belongs to the Church of the Living God the Light of the World, which has
agreed to host thematic artwork. Given the wall’s condition, highly detailed mural work may not
be ideal; instead, bold, graphic imagery or applied processes should be considered.

Patio Lighting / Infrastructure
Lighting will be a defining feature of Legacy Square, shaping the park’s mood, atmosphere, and
overall aesthetic. The central plaza is particularly well-suited for event lighting, offering an
opportunity for functional infrastructure to double as public art. Structural components that
support programmable bistro lighting, or freestanding lighting elements designed as sculptural
works, can both enhance usability and contribute to the park’s visual identity.
Lighting can also serve as a unifying design element, visually linking key features such as the
Logan Street entrance, playground, stage, and soccer pitch. Careful aesthetic and thematic
decisions will strengthen cohesion across the park. Whether expressed through dynamic
movement, recurring forms, or repeating colors, lighting elements can play a central role in
shaping a consistent sense of place throughout Legacy Square.

Exterior Artwork on Stage
While integrating artwork directly into the corten steel panels of the stage is no longer feasible
due to fabrication timelines and budget constraints, opportunities remain for exterior artistic
interventions once the stage is constructed. These could include painted or affixed works,
allowing for a wide range of processes and creative approaches.

Artwork Integrated into Benches
Functional infrastructure presents valuable opportunities to reinforce identity and enhance
aesthetics. Benches throughout Legacy Square are integrated into the tiered concrete design of
the plaza, and they offer an ideal platform for artistic customization. Adding elements such as
laser-cut metal backs or decorative sides can transform standard seating into visually engaging
and thematic works of art.
This approach allows for subtle yet effective storytelling, with opportunities to reflect key
themes—particularly movement—in ways that feel both natural and purposeful.

Smaller Artwork on Concrete Infrastructure
Some of the most memorable artworks are discovered rather than immediately confronted.
Incorporating small-scale artworks into concrete surfaces throughout Legacy Square can create a
sense of wonder, encouraging visitors to look closer and engage more deeply with the site.
Small bronze sculptures, similar to Tom Otterness’ work in the New York City subway, could
weave narratives across the park, connecting different areas through shared imagery and
storytelling. Mosaics, reliefs, or other affixed two-dimensional artworks could also enrich
concrete faces and edges.
Beyond their aesthetic contribution, smaller artworks offer flexibility: they can be added over
time, rotated to sustain interest, and introduced as part of new community engagement phases.
This sense of discovery helps keep the park dynamic and alive, reinforcing the overarching theme
of movement.

Landscape Integrated Artwork
The landscaped areas surrounding the playground present another opportunity for discovery-
driven artwork that ties natural and fabricated elements together. Integrated landscape art can
support thematic connections to play, nature, and movement, while also offering moments of
delight for children and adults alike.
These works need not be large in scale or budget-intensive to be effective. Subtle interventions—
such as kinetic lighting elements or small sculptural installations—can animate the space with
a sense of magic, creating a seamless transition between playground activities and the broader
artistic identity of Legacy Square.

Performances and Temporary Art
As the cultural centerpiece of downtown Renton, Legacy Square must also embrace the dynamic
potential of live performances and temporary artwork. While permanent works provide enduring
character and identity, temporary and rotating installations keep the park fresh and responsive,
reflecting the evolving identity of the community.
These events and installations also provide opportunities for local artists, performers, and
cultural organizations to engage directly with the public, ensuring that the park remains a
living, breathing space defined by its people. Rotating exhibitions, pop-up installations, and
performance-based activations can extend the park’s relevance across seasons and years,
strengthening its role as the heart of downtown.

LEGACY SQUARE ART PLAN
Guidelines for Selection
and Implementation
The collection of artworks at Legacy Square should reflect both the diversity of Renton and
the city’s ambition to elevate the arts. Elevation in this context means not only commissioning
impactful, high-quality, permanent artworks, but also creating opportunities for emerging artists,
supporting experimentation, and fostering community engagement.
By balancing significant permanent pieces with smaller, temporary, or community-driven
projects, the art program can authentically reflect Renton’s identity while advancing its cultural
profile. Elevating the arts ultimately means inspiring, supporting, and celebrating creativity in all
its forms—not just producing monumental works.
All artworks should be:
▪Created with professional processes and of the highest quality.
▪Selected by a panel representing Renton’s diverse community, with members invested in both
the park and the arts.
▪Culturally appropriate, thoughtfully conceived, and skillfully executed.
▪Emphasize Renton’s role as a hub for creativity by commissioning a variety of projects that
support artists at different stages of their careers.
▪Reflect the city’s diversity by engaging artists who represent a wide range of voices,
backgrounds, and perspectives.
▪Supported by realistic budgets and timelines to ensure successful completion.
▪ Evaluated based on project goals, whether permanent landmark works or temporary
experimental installations.
▪Ensure artist selection follows established best practices in public art, utilizing RFQs and RFPs
where appropriate, and providing fair and transparent compensation for all work.
▪Designed with sensitivity to site use, traffic patterns, seasonal changes, maintenance needs,
and the potential for graffiti or wear.
