Artist-Designed Mini-Golf at the Olympic Sculpture Park /  by Kalina Wińska

July 2026

I am thrilled to share that my custom-designed mini-golf hole is officially open for the summer season at the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park! The nine-hole interactive course runs from June 17 through Labor Day, transforming the park into a playful, creative landscape. It is an honor to be included alongside an incredible roster of local artists, including Julie Alpert, Andy Arkley, Zack Bent, Elizabeth Gahan, Cathy McClure, Chris McMullen, and Anthony White.

About the Project: Rainbow Ridge

Rooted in my ongoing interest in atmospheric forces and environmental change, my contribution to the course is titled "Rainbow Ridge." The design brings elements of my studio practice into a public, interactive space, utilizing material speculative play to translate complex environmental ideas into a physical, playable landscape.

Rainbow Ridge is a color-drenched climb inspired by atmospheric data and my custom-shaped paintings. Working in collaboration with fabricator Drew Warren, the hole features hand-painted gradients, precise MDO platforms, and marine-grade carpet. Players are invited to navigate shifting elevations and vibrant neon arches as they aim to reach a low-pressure basin, all while the neon plexiglass clouds play with the shifting natural light of the outdoor park.

Visit & Ticketing

The artist-designed mini-golf course is open to the public all summer long through Labor Day and makes for a perfect sunny day activity in Seattle.

Location: Olympic Sculpture Park Pavilion

Availability: June 17 – Labor Day

Tickets & Info: You can reserve tee times, purchase tickets, and learn more about the project directly on the Seattle Art Museum Website.

Below are a few installation views and snapshots from the course:

Now Complete: Mural Installation in new Frank Gehry Designed Office in Redmond, WA /  by J Calvert

Announced here last January, I’ve recently completed a mural at Building X, a new office building designed by Frank Gehry Partners. This mural! was Inspired by chaotic impacts of climate change and imagined new forms of landscapes that bring together the natural, virtual, and technological realms. This work is created on a 71 feet wide and 20 feet tall wall inside this stunning architectural space.

Curated by @tamarbenzi @lelebarnett and @jes.gettler — I’m forever grateful for this opportunity of a life time!

Also, many thanks to @elizabeth_gahan_art @scout_spout @overallcreative and @je._calvert

I had 14 days to execute the installation, and while i prepared extensively over the months leading up to it, the project wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing help of friends, professional muralists, art producers, and many people working together to finish the building’s construction.

SAM Gallery Presents: Hear This /  by J Calvert

With the artworks in Hear This, artists Perri Lynch Howard, Jasmine Novack and Kalina Winska dive into visual expressions using elements connected to an artistic message. Through visual depictions of sound waves, examinations of the underwater world, and connections to the elements of the air and water, these artists invite us to look closer and hear their unique messages.

From the depths of the sea to the air above, this collection is inspired by natural beauty of our world both seen and unseen.

Exhibit Dates: July 5 – 30, 2023 via SAM Events
