"Fuelled by a sense of righteous indignation I also felt empowered by the expressive and creative outlet that street art afforded me. Instead of feeling like a helpless passenger on a train headed for disaster I felt that I had created a voice for myself amid the noise of the city."

*TUBS Memorial Mural Project*

- a temporary art intervention in a disused building.

*Opening April 26th *

*2 - 6pm***

*50th and **Roosevelt** Ave NE., in the University **District of Seattle**,
**WA***

Currently on view, Free Sheep Foundation is proud to host an exhibition
memorializing the forthcoming demolition of the former TUBS building in
Seattle’s U-District. Highlighting graffiti-style murals by over 20 artists
(please scroll down for list of artists) and window installations, FSF would
like to invite the public to view this artistic intervention with the same
heart as viewing cherry blossoms in Spring. This temporary project is meant
to serve as a beautiful display of color in the waning days of a building's
demise, as well as a re-interpretation of site and celebration of the City.
In partnership with the property owners, we offer this gift to the
neighborhood and the world, embracing our rapidly transforming urban
landscape.

Historical records of the site are available since 1905, when it was
developed as a residence and small commercial space. In 1923, the building
was redeveloped as a grocery store, eventually becoming the Big Bear Store,
then the Lucky Store, and in the early '60's, the P&C Serve U Grocery.
During this time, the site was also shared by a car dealership. In the
mid-70's, the building became renovated and housed The District Tavern (one
of the earliest rock music venues in Seattle) and Fotomat Drive-thru. In
1982, TUBS took over the building as its most recent tenant-to-date;
operating a spa with rental rooms of hot tubs and saunas, and offering
tanning and massage services. Soon the site will be developed into a 60 unit
apartment building with ground floor retail.
