We are coming up on one of my favorite days of the month: First Thursday Art Walk!
From around noon to 8:30 pm on the first Thursday of each month, Seattle's downtown galleries and museums including the SAM, the Frye, Asian Art Museum and EMP open their doors for an evening of visual and theatrical art.
When you head down there, I strongly recommend browsing the 619 Western Ave Arts Building to view an eclectic collection of contemporary artwork, as well as getting a first-hand view into the artists' studios.
Also, the Toshiro Kaplan Building in Pioneer Square houses quite a few galleries which range from Folk Art to modern sculpture. If the weather is good, you might catch performance art taking place on the streets just outside.
If you live on the East Side and are unable to make it to First Thursday, the Bellevue Art Museum participates in First Fridays, in which admission is free from 11am to 8pm.
