Pop-up Gallery at First Ave. and Pike St.
A new pop-up gallery has taken root at the First Ave. and Pike St. Plaza!
As a city surrounded by bodies of water, downtown Seattle serves as an ideal subject for artists to form sundry relationships with their landscape. In their various approaches to photography, each artist showcased in the gallery explores their own sentiments towards water as a place of return, a symbol of longing and an ever-changing political landscape.
The pieces will be on display at the plaza until mid-January, when they will move to another downtown public space.
