Facing Prefontaine Place South, the screens bring art to more than 20,000 pedestrians, bicyclists, and bus riders who pass each day. The program gives artists a public presentation opportunity while enlivening the urban core, with new or completed works across media genres shown in rotation for up to one year. Artistic merit is the foremost priority, alongside engaging media content, regional and cultural diversity, genre variety, and suitability for a public location. The presentation favors works up to five minutes that do not rely heavily on sound, reflecting street noise and an audience on the move. Artists can use the same work across all four screens or different visuals on each, with works appearing in a looping program.
