“20 Chairs,” an evocative new art installation created in collaboration between The DOVE Project and local artist West McLean, is now on view through mid-August in an overgrown swatch of the field located on the south side of the DOVE Project’s office, at 17311 Vashon Hwy SW.
The art project, said DOVE Project program director Tracy McLaren, is meant to raise awareness of startling statistics showing the scope and immediacy of intimate and partner violence at national, state, and local levels. These statistics include one cited by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: Every minute, 20 people in the United States are victims of domestic violence.
