Put the Seattle Art Fair on your must do list: Seattle Art Fair launches this July 30 - August 2 at the CenturyLink Field Event Center








Seattle Art Fair launches this July 30 - August 2 at the CenturyLink Field Event Center with sixty leading local, national, and international art galleries presenting exhibitions of the world's best modern and contemporary art. This ambitious project is designed to be a showcase for the vibrant arts culture of the Pacific Northwest, a platform for the exploration of Seattle's strong connection to the Pacific Rim, and a survey of the broader contemporary dialogue. Seattle Art Fair will reach beyond the walls of CenturyLink Field, with installations, talks, presentations, programming, and special exhibitions activating spaces throughout the city. Through innovative citywide cultural partnerships, the fair will be a destination for new and established collectors, international art patrons, and residents of one of the most dynamic cities in the US

The design for Basecamp is led by Olson Kundig owner and principal Jim Olson and associate architect Jerry Garcia.
