The Building
Pike & 5th since 1916. B. Marcus Priteca, architect. One of the most beautiful rooms in Seattle, hidden in plain sight. This summer we are filling it with fifty installations across three floors. Painting, photography, sculpture on the walls. A 30-foot LED canvas in the round.
Nightly: opera, ballet, big band, tap, hip-hop, spoken word, lasers, and the unannounced. And on the tour, you can climb upstairs to where almost no one has been in fifty years.
Beauty. Truth. Love.
The Summer of 2026
Pride brings the city. FIFA brings the world. We open on June 1, the start of Pride month, and stay open through the World Cup, ArtWalk, and the rest of summer. Seven days a week. Programmed every night.
