  Least Important Less Important Neutral Important Very Important
District Identification: The program seeks a way to identify, market, and brand Arts and Culture Districts. May include installation of sidewalk kiosks, street sign caps, custom crosswalk paintings, and pole banners.
Wayfinding: This program will assist in guiding the public from one artspace to another, or from one arts event to another, and will take the form of mapping and branding individual buildings and spaces as Cultural Space.
Busking Support: The presence of street performers and open-air urban landscape painters reminds residents and visitors that a neighborhood is vibrant and arts-friendly.
Art Historic Markers: This program, in partnership with HistoryLink.org, would celebrate culturally important spots with historic and educational markers.
Pop-up Space Activations: In partnership with Storefronts Seattle, the district will activate vacant storefront spaces with artists' projects.
Parklets: Parklets, or miniscule parks created in single parking spots, will include public art components, and serve as arts public space in cultural neighborhoods.
B.A.S.E. Certification: The Build ArtSpacE (B.A.S.E.) Certification is analogous to LEED environmental certification, but designed to reward projects that include cultural space.
Cultural Preservation and Landmarking: Various mechanisms are being explored for the support of older buildings and the innovative small local companies and arts organizations they tend to house.
