Seattle Art Fair 2024 @ Lumen Field

Art’s big weekend šŸ–¼

šŸ“ø: Seattle Art Fair

šŸ“† Thursday, July 25th ā€“ Sunday, July 28th
šŸ“ 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 fairā€™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 likeĀ Greg Kucera Gallery,Ā Traver Gallery, andĀ studio eĀ alongside galleries likeĀ YUKI-SISĀ from Tokyo,Ā Perve GaleriaĀ from Lisbon,Ā Sobering GalerieĀ from Paris,Ā MookjiArt ContemporaryĀ 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 Countsā€™ unique, surreal ceramic sculptures will be installed in a display calledĀ Sea of Nectars. Perve Galeriaā€™s Carlos Carbral Nunes will curate an exhibition celebratingĀ the work of JoĆ£o Artur da Silva, a key founder of the ’40s-era Portuguese Surrealist Movement. And the Corning Museum of Glass will have aĀ pop upĀ of contemporary glass artists and projects fromĀ New Glass Review 43. Check out theĀ full public project and event listĀ on Seattle Art Fairā€™s website.
