[http://www.soundtransit.org/images/about_st/news_events/events/start/STart_Lockon.jpg] STart (Sound Transit's art program) Please join us for the Lock-On Tacoma - Dedication Thursday, Nov. 21, 2013 | 5:00 p.m. ‘A’ Street Passageway between 25th Street and 26th Street in Tacoma’s Dome District Lock-On Tacoma (referred to as The Locks) is a site-specific sculpture by artist Diane Hansen that surrounds the support column for the Sound Transit commuter rail tracks overhead at the ‘A’ Street pedestrian passageway. The Locks is intended as an inclusive communal gathering space in the Dome District south of downtown Tacoma. It invites people to bring and leave a lock dedicated to love: love of a special someone, place or memory. The artwork is part of Sound Transit’s D-M Street rail improvements project, which is part of the Sounder commuter rail Lakewood Extension. Hansen is one of five artists creating public art for the project. Enlarged padlock and skeleton key sculptures, painted in auto enamel candy colors, encircle the top portion of the rail support. Hansen worked with kids from the nearby Hilltop neighborhood to cast glass ornaments for The Locks. The columns will be wrapped in metal mesh to create a screen where visitors can attach their love locks. A custom receptacle will be available for visitors to deposit their lock’s keys. Visitors can make a wish or seal their love on the sculpture. Hansen experienced a love lock bridge in Paris, and wants to connect Tacoma to the international phenomenon<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMxMTE1LjI1MzAyMDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMTExNS4yNTMwMjAxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3ODcyOTcwJmVtYWlsaWQ9bXlsaW5kYS5zbmVlZEBzb3VuZHRyYW5zaXQub3JnJnVzZXJpZD1teWxpbmRhLnNuZWVkQHNvdW5kdHJhbnNpdC5vcmcmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_lock>.
