06.10.2009 Get Ready for Bumbershoot's Visual Arts!
Art is everywhere… Seattle has amazing art museums, galleries and is even home to a beautiful sculpture park. But we don’t stop there. Art appears on the side of buildings… covering cars… even the doodle you did on your notepad the other day is your take on artistic expression (some of your finest work, by the way). True to the city, Bumbershoot abounds with art both in classic gallery settings as well as unique site-specific installations and spontaneous artistic expressions.
