Adam sent us this photo of a sign that has been placed on the southern fence of the former Sunset Bowl location.
The bright colors of the sign are a stark contrast to the now vacant, gravel lot behind the fence. “One of my favorite and most missed hang-outs. Ahhh…. bowling in Ballard. Sigh,” Adam writes. No word on who the artist is.
More art will be going up on the fence. Artists Pam Gray and Anne Baumgartner will be installing panels of cardboard and other recycled materials around the property. “The theme is loosely organized around the alphabet – with each 12 foot wide panel referencing a letter,” they write on their blog. “While the lot is empty, we will be infusing the scene with energy and images – panel by panel.” The art installation was postponed last week because of the rain.
Sunset Bowl closed last year and was demolished earlier this year.
