The Seattle Art Fair opens today August 2, 2018 and will once again take place at CenturyLink Field Event Center. Our favorite game to play at AZ HQ is to pretend we have unlimited amounts of cash in our bank account to buy art. The Seattle Art Fair is one of the newer fairs on the scene (this will be the fourth edition), and ever year, it keeps getting better and better. With Nato Thompson at the helm as artistic director, this year’s edition is sure to be impressive.

 

We sifted through hundreds of works of art that will be on display this weekend at the fair, and picked our favorites. If you see us standing in front of one of these, we’re probably pretending to take measurements for our non-existent living room with non-existent 12 ft walls.
