Order an ImageSeattle Center's Mural Amphitheater is so named for the magnificent backdrop to the stage, a large scale glass mosaic by Northwest School artist Paul Horiuchi (1906–1999), commissioned in 1962 for the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). In the decades since the fair, the grounds have been operated by the city and hosts many public festivals and events throughout the year.
