Pioneer Square Art Walk in Seattle

As one of the oldest art walks in the United States, the Pioneer Square Art Walk has proudly served as a platform to promote and support Seattle’s art scene for more than 40 years.

Pioneer Square itself has been a safe space for creatives since the 1960s and remains dedicated to providing an inspiring space for local artists to live and work. This dedication has earned the area recognition as a Certified Washington State Creative District.

At the First Thursday Art Walk each month, visitors can enjoy a wide variety of art exhibitions, live music, and gallery openings, all contained within a one square mile area. Most events and exhibitions are open between 5pm-8pm, but check the interactive map to see the hours of each unique experience as hours will vary.

Those interested in being more involved or staying up-to-date on this vibrant local art scene can sign up for a monthly newsletter, which arrives in your inbox a week before the event.

FREE parking is available from 5pm-10pm at Frye Garage (117 3rd Ave S) and 450 Alaskan (450 Alaskan Way, entrance on King Street) with a parking voucher that visitors can pick up at a participating business. For those parking at 450 Alaskan, please remember that the valet cannot provide vouchers and cars that are still in the garage after 10 p.m. are subject to parking/after hours release fees. 

Pioneer Square is close to many major landmarks, including the Seattle Waterfront, Pike Place Market, and Lumen Field/T-Mobile Park and is accessible via light rail, bus, or streetcar if you don’t want to drive or bike.
