September brings lower temps and, for the visual art scene, plenty of good tidings with a brand-new art walk, the return of a Pioneer Square staple, scores of fun events and exciting new shows.

On a woodsy 7-acre property on the edge of Auburn, dozens of larger-than-life creatures rise from the leaf-littered earth.

With 85 galleries scheduled to present artworks at this year’s Seattle Art Fair, running July 21-24, there’s plenty to enjoy from both local and national artists alike.

Galleries across the city have officially reopened in a limited capacity for your viewing pleasure. This change came about rather quietly.

From a studio in Washington state, where COVID-19 hit hard in the pandemic’s early days, Dale Chihuly, at 78, is producing elegant new objects that draw their inspiration from lace.

The brilliantly colorful Isola di San Giacomo in Palude Chandelier installed on the beach of a small Venetian island highlighted in the 1996 Chihuly Over Venice project evokes the might of the romantic city lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces.

On the first Thursday of every month, Seattleites flock to the streets of Pioneer Square for the city's central and oldest art walk, which offers opportunities to stroll, sip on wine, and attend as many gallery openings as possible.
