Igniting Seattle's Cultural Landscape

Art + Culture Week / Seattle is a cultural movement dedicated to making art and creativity accessible to all. We foster deep community connections and celebrate the diverse expressions that define our dynamic city.

From September 20-27th, 2025, Art + Culture Week transforms Seattle into an expansive, collaborative celebration of creativity. This free, city-wide festival unifies, highlights, and supports Seattle's thriving Creative Economy, spotlighting both emerging and established artists across all disciplines. It's an annual celebration designed to showcase the rich tapestry of our cultural landscape.

The second annual Art + Culture Week transforms Seattle’s neighborhoods into dynamic hubs of artistic expression. Attendees will experience a rich tapestry of visual art, theater, music, poetry, opera, and film in venues across more than 12 neighborhoods. The festival is designed to break down barriers to art, offering free, immersive experiences that invite public participation.

From bustling street performances to immersive gallery and museum installations, each venue curates a unique experience. Art + Culture Week fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration, spotlighting both emerging and established artists whose work reflects Seattle’s diverse cultural landscape. This city-wide event will continue to push innovation, connect more people to art, and cultivate a stronger sense of shared fate in the art economy of Seattle for years to come.
