Pioneer Square Art Walk

There’s nothing better than a warm summer evening, on the first Thursday of the month, in Pioneer Square for the Art Walk. On June 4, Nick and Kirsty and I pregamed at the shop with cocktails and farmer’s market snacks, then headed down. It was a particularly beautiful day, which really helped get us in the mood to go out after work. Pro tip: Make a date with someone, so you are committed to go.

We started at RailSpur which had two floors of art this month. This space is always a surprise….you never know what to expect, but it’s so fun to see what’s happening there, inside and in the alleys. The architecture and what they have done to restore and repurpose the building, is part of what makes it so wonderful. “Named for the railways that once ran through the area, RailSpur encompasses three historic warehouse buildings in Pioneer Square. Focused on preservation, sustainability, community and innovation, this cultural hub includes office, retail, restaurant, residential, and hospitality experiences.”

Have you visited the Ai Weiwei exhibit at The Seattle Art Museum yet?  You still have time because it closes September 7. I just experienced it for the second time and I could go back for more!
