Walking Tour: Augmented Reality (AR) Future Arts Way: OTHER EARTH *Pioneer Square*
About Future Arts Way: OTHER EARTH 2026
Future Arts Way is a public augmented reality trail running through four Seattle neighborhoods, Belltown, Central Downtown, the Waterfront, and Pioneer Square, from the Pacific Science Center to King Street Station. Developed by Future Arts, the trail places original AR artworks by local and regional artists directly into the fabric of the city, activating storefronts, sidewalks, and public corners with immersive digital experiences rooted in Indigenous knowledge, community histories, and visions of the future. No gallery required. Just your phone, your feet, and the street.
What happens on the tour?
Your guide leads a small group along the trail, stopping at each AR drop to launch the artwork together and hear the story behind it, the artist, the place, and why it lives here. Some works are sweeping and immersive. Others are intimate and unexpected. All of them respond to where you are standing. Expect conversation, curiosity, and a few moments that stop you in your tracks.
What is special about this Art Fair Tour?
We will walk over to the South Trailhead of Future Arts Way and begin at King Street Station and walk north through Pioneer Square as the neighborhood glows in the early evening.
Led by Future Arts' Executive Director Yuliya Bruk, this guided AR tour moves through Seattle's oldest neighborhood - Pioneer Square, past independent bookshops, artist-run galleries, and community-built spaces, unlocking 10 augmented reality stories woven into the streets and storefronts along the way.

Wa Na Wari - Community Reading & Feedback Session: Sankofa and Second Chances
Community Reading & Feedback Session: Sankofa and Second Chances
Be part of the creative journey! Join local author Reagan Jackson and a talented cast of local young people—directed by Intiman Theatre’s Wesley Frugé—for a live staged reading of Sankofa and Second Chances (working title).
Supported by a grant from 4Culture, Reagan is gathering the local community to help refine this Seattle-based novel. This is a public reading before final edits are locked in. Your voice, thoughts, and feedback will directly help shape the final book.
About the Book: When 17-year-old Brixton Hall flees a violent fallout in Chicago and lands in Seattle’s Central District, he carries nothing but rage and a desire to leave. But the neighborhood his mother once called home—now deeply altered by gentrification—has other plans for him. Enter Cori Williams, a teen who knows every corner of the Central District and the ancient stories of the Orishas.
When her best friend Skyla begins having vivid, impossible dreams while their other friend Faruq and his family face foreclosure and displacement, Cori realizes it is time to call on powers older than time itself. Pulled into "the Dreaming"—a spiritual realm where the past bleeds into the present—four local teens witness the layered history of their neighborhood: the legacy of Freedom Schools and the Black Panthers Stories of wartime internment and return. The painful history of redlining maps that forced families into corners. As each teen discovers a unique spiritual gift, they learn a vital lesson: while some powers isolate, others—like story, ritual, art, and collective care—might just save them all.
In this stunning debut, the Orishas are fighting to be remembered, a neighborhood is fighting to survive, and four youth discover that home isn’t just a place you return to—it’s something you choose to tend.
About the Author: Reagan E. J. Jackson (she/her) is a Seattle-based writer, facilitator, and “book doula”. She is the author of Still True: The Evolution of an Unexpected Journalist (Hinton Publishing 2024), three full- length poetry collections, two children’s books, and over 100 articles. Reagan is continuously plotting ways Black women can recharge, reset, reimagine, and rest, and is currently crafting her debut Young Adult novel.

J. Rinehart Gallery - Kelly Bjork, Preview Reception
Kelly Bjork - Preview Reception
Kelly Bjork is a queer artist making queer art in a time in which the LGBTQ+ community is facing discrimination at every level: social, physical, and political. In this way, they position themselves within a lineage of artists who have done the same in the face of violence.
Bjork creates space to leave the harsh world of now, for a moment, and enter their world to be held and seen. Their work serves as a reminder to both those who struggle to remember, and those who refuse to accept, that we aren’t going anywhere. We will continue to experience joy, tenderness and love.
Join us for a sneak peek of her upcoming exhibition, Lunacy.

Gallery B612
Founded in mid 2020, Gallery B612 aspires to be a gathering place for artists, dancers, fashion designers and creatives from all walks of life. To this date, the gallery has featured a Solo Exhibition from founder, director and curator, MiYoung Margolis; served as a gathering place and rehearsal space for MMDC and Dare to Dance; and featured over thirty solo shows and juried exhibitions of work by local and international artists. At Gallery B612 we believe it's important to provide space for artists to share their voice in a space where others can view and discuss the pieces as well as mingle with others in our community. In our modern American world, there are less and less public spaces for people to spend their free time. Here, we will hope to provide safety and connection for the Seattle community. With locations in Pioneer Square and SODO, Gallery B612 activates both historic and industrial spaces through exhibitions, performances, and experimental programming. We are committed to supporting artists in developing and presenting work that engages audiences, expands context, and contributes to a dynamic, globally connected cultural landscape.
