The Greta Hackett Outdoor Sculpture Gallery is one of two City galleries programmed in partnership with the Mercer Island Arts Council. Located on Sunset Highway in between 77^th and 80^th Avenues SE, the gallery features works in the public art collection as well as sculptures for sale.

History of the Outdoor Gallery

As I-90 construction neared completion in 1991, the City formed an I-90 ARTway Task Force to identify and implement public art opportunities throughout the corridor. The first phase, which opened in 1995 as the I-90 Outdoor Sculpture Gallery, intended to enhance Town Center and enrich the Island’s sense of community. The gallery earned the City the Pacific Northwest Regional Arts and Humanities Award given by the National Recreation & Park Association in 1997.

The City renamed the space the Greta Hackett Outdoor Sculpture Gallery in 2017 in honor of the long-time Island resident who was integral in its founding.
