“Art walks humanize the viewing experience and create camaraderie, or at least, if not, create camaraderie, allow the opportunity for it.”

That’s how local artist and art administrator Tommy Gregory describes art walks in Seattle. Our city is home to a dozen art walks and counting, including the longest-running art walk in the nation. Tommy loves this about Seattle - he usually goes to a handful of different art walks a month, often by himself. So he’s the perfect guide to tell us how to enjoy ourselves and connect with artists and other art walk participants. 

Tommy talks about the Pioneer Square Art Walk, which happens on the first Thursday of each month, and the Capitol Hill Art Walk, which happens on the second Thursday of each month.

Here are some of Tommy’s recommendations for where to stop on each art walk. 

Pioneer Square: 
Stonington Gallery 
ArtX Contemporary 
Collins Pub 
The Meyer 
Pilchuck Glass School Seattle Office 
SOIL Art Gallery 
4Culture

Steve Gilbert Studio
