Seattle Art Fair 2024 @ Lumen Field

Art’s big weekend 🖼

📸: Seattle Art Fair

📆 Thursday, July 25th – Sunday, July 28th
📍 Lumen Field Event Center: 800 Occidental Ave S, Seattle

Since its inception in 2015, the Seattle Art Fair has become a summer staple for the art-hungry.

For four days every year, several dozen galleries from around the world bring their best work for curious and discerning Seattleites to take in (and, if the price is right, consider buying). The 2024 edition of Seattle Art Fair returns to the Lumen Field Event Center from Thursday, July 25th to Sunday, July 28th, with Nato Thompson serving again as the art fair’s artistic director.

Like in art fairs past, you can expect to sip wine while getting lost in the maze of gallery booths featuring local, national, and international galleries. See Seattle scene stalwarts like Greg Kucera GalleryTraver Gallery, and studio e alongside galleries like YUKI-SIS from Tokyo, Perve Galeria from Lisbon, Sobering Galerie from Paris, MookjiArt Contemporary from Seoul, and more.

Another unmissable aspect of Seattle Art Fair are the public projects that are specific to each fair. This year, Seattle-based artist Emily Counts’ unique, surreal ceramic sculptures will be installed in a display called Sea of Nectars. Perve Galeria’s Carlos Carbral Nunes will curate an exhibition celebrating the work of João Artur da Silva, a key founder of the ’40s-era Portuguese Surrealist Movement. And the Corning Museum of Glass will have a pop up of contemporary glass artists and projects from New Glass Review 43. Check out the full public project and event list on Seattle Art Fair’s website.
