Shared Spaces

The hourlong history webinar marked the bicentennial year of artist Frederic Church.

The longtime Seattle park advocate discusses the founding of the Olmsted Network, the work of the Friends of Seattle’s Olmsted Parks, and more.

Section 106 now faces a second threat: a Senate bill, with an initial vote expected November 9.

The yearlong celebration culminated in the recent publication of the new book “Olana: Frederic Church’s Vision of Art and Landscape.”

"ReMapping Olmsted" reconstructs the evolution of the Olmsted Brothers’ plans for Mattano Park and the Elizabeth River in New Jersey through the lenses of environmental justice and climate resilience. Developed in collaboration with Groundwork Elizabeth and funded by the New Jersey Historical Commission, the project is led by Dr. Carmelo Ignaccolo at Rutgers’ Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, with project team members Thomas Chambers and Sharanya Sahu.
