STart Residencies

Sound Transit recognizes the value that artists can bring to every aspect of planning and building an integrated transit system. Their creative thinking and unique perspectives assist in showing the connections between communities and how riders relate to buses, trains and light rail. The STart residency program allows Sound Transit the opportunity to tap into that creativity and work collaboratively to reveal those connections in a meaningful way.

His current work features the millions of seemingly small tasks that go into building Link light rail from downtown Seattle to Sea-Tac Airport.

	Christian French - Artist in Residence (2005 - 2006) Christian French joined STart in February 2005 for an 18-month residency.
