Artwork for MV Suquamish was created by members of the Suquamish Tribe and selected by the tribal museum, to be displayed starting in 2018 for six to 12 years before replacement and return of the piece to the museum. Seattle Arts Commission owns the Joshua Green Fountain, a bronze work by George Tsutakawa that was on display outside the main Colman Dock ferry terminal. The agency has also displayed artwork by Washington youth on the covers of one million of its winter 2016 and spring 2017 sailing schedules. (en)
