Seattle Art Fair launches this July 30 - August 2 at the CenturyLink Field Event Center with sixty leading local, national, and international art galleries presenting exhibitions of the world's best modern and contemporary art. This ambitious project is designed to be a showcase for the vibrant arts culture of the Pacific Northwest, a platform for the exploration of Seattle's strong connection to the Pacific Rim, and a survey of the broader contemporary dialogue. Seattle Art Fair will reach beyond the walls of CenturyLink Field, with installations, talks, presentations, programming, and special exhibitions activating spaces throughout the city. Through innovative citywide cultural partnerships, the fair will be a destination for new and established collectors, international art patrons, and residents of one of the most dynamic cities in the US.

Seattle Art Fair is thrilled to feature Basecamp, a combined VIP and Collector's Lounge designed by Seattle-based Olson Kundig. Acting as a conduit between outside and in, the space will serve as a gathering point and place for conversation and contemplation. Olson Kundig’s design celebrates the pioneering spirit of the Pacific Northwest, using wood, fabric, and native plantings to evoke the simple elegance of nature and bridge the fair with the surrounding landscape. The design for Basecamp is led by Olson Kundig owner and principal Jim Olson and associate architect Jerry Garcia. Additional cultural and event partners include 4Culture , ArtsFund, ArtTable, Bellevue Arts Museum, Henry Art Gallery, Microsoft Art Collection, MadArt, Northwest Film Forum, Northwest African American Museum, City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, Pilchuck Glass School, Seattle Art Museum, SOIL Artist Run Gallery, Tacoma Art Museum, Visit Seattle, Washington State Arts Commission and Wing Luke Museum.

Morgan Private Bank, Artsy, Marsh Private Client Services, The Wall Street Journal, Artech, Perrier, SeattleMet, Bonhams, Columbia Tower Club, and The Rainier Club.
