Cat & Chika's Guide to Pioneer Square (July 21-24, 2022)

Seattle Art Fair, one of the biggest art shows in the city, is happening this Thurs-Sun, July 21-24.

The Fair is held at Lumen Field Event Center, just a few minutes’ walk from Velouria & all the other galleries, boutiques, and restaurants in Pioneer Square.

Check out all our recommendations for an art-filled day trip below, and don't forget to visit us while you're in the neighborhood!  We're open 11-5pm Thurs-Sat + 12-4pm Sun, extended hours for this week only.

1: Go to the Seattle Art Fair!

Get your tickets now, then go explore dozens of installations, do some A+ people-watching, and take home some new artwork.

Several of our Pioneer Square neighbors will have booths at the Fair, including J. Rinehart Gallery & Zinc Contemporary—be sure to say hello!

2: Take a break and recharge.

Walk a few blocks north to Velouria & tell us all about your favorite pieces at Art Fair! While you’re here, pick up a little wearable art for yourself—like a stunning handmade ring from our newest jewelry collection. 

Wander next door to grab a quick snack at Cone & Steiner.

When you're ready to ease back into art viewing, go around the corner to Fruitsuper, a small shop with a laid-back gallery atmosphere and all the best home goods.  

3: Explore more PSQ galleries + shows.

Check out Forest for the Trees at the RailSpur building, right across the street from Velouria. This show includes eight floors filled with installations from 100+ artists, plus live music and drinks. Ages 21+ and tickets are required (but free!)

This map shows studios and galleries that are in PSQ year-round! A few of our current must-sees are the woodblock prints at Davidson Galleries, the mesmerizing paintings at Linda Hodges Gallery, the narrative pieces at ArtXchange, the sculptures at Stonington Gallery and Martyr Sauce Pop Art Museum.
