If you're already visiting the Space Needle, going to Chihuly Garden and Glass is a complete…read moreno-brainer. The two attractions are right next to each other, and honestly, I'd have a hard time choosing which one impressed me more. The exhibits are stunning. Everywhere you look, there are massive, colorful glass sculptures that somehow seem both delicate and impossible at the same time. The Glasshouse, with its enormous suspended sculpture beneath the glass ceiling, is especially breathtaking. What many people may not realize is that Dale Chihuly is also the artist behind the famous glass ceiling in the Bellagio in Las Vegas. If you've ever stood in the Bellagio lobby staring up at those colorful glass flowers, you've already experienced one of his most iconic works. Seeing an entire museum dedicated to his art gives you a whole new appreciation for his creativity and craftsmanship. Even if you don't consider yourself an "art museum person," this place is worth visiting. It's visually spectacular, highly photogenic, and unlike anything else you'll see in Seattle. Don't just do the Space Needle. Do both.

A must visit in Seattle- Stunning blown glass exhibit!…read more If you'd like a vibrant artsy experience in Seattle, drop by here to see Dale Chihuly's masterpieces. The museum houses his exquisite and intricate blown glass with a myriad of colors and designs. There is also an outdoor exhibit with several blown glass art entwined in the garden and the space needle towering overhead as a nice backdrop for photos. Glass blowing demos are shown, which is pretty interesting to see the soup to nuts creation of a glass blown bottle or vase. The tickets are a little expensive (~ $40) but worth for those who are passionate about the arts!

To get here, you can either find street parking or park in nearby parking garages and walk over. Museum admission is $30 per adult or $20 with student ID. We definitely spent a good couple hours here browsing all the art and stopping by their gift shop. I would highly recommend stopping by for all art lovers!

There are some special exhibits. This room may be changed every 3 months. Overall we like the visit.

Some uphill walks but it was a nice walk actually. The museum is free which is nice you walk through and it is pretty much filled with many unique rooms, each with different pieces of art. It was pretty quiet but I do enjoy the placement of every piece. It's not a big museum so this probably won't take up so much time.

I have been aware of the Mourning Market for a couple of years now but the dark themed market has…read morebeen around since 2009. The Mourning Market takes place in October and December. I believe each year the address for the market can change. This past year (2018) the address was at El Corazon. The Mourning Market is composed of dark themed... or Gothic styled merchandise that independent vendors and artists make and sell. This can include a variety of things from dolls, clothes, paintings, candy, cards, jewelry boxes, incense burners, necklaces and so much more! Many of the vendors do accept credit or debit cards but if there were any that did not there was an ATM at El Corazon where you could get cash. There is an entry fee to go to the market and the time we went it was only $2 which was very manageable. We bought several things here that we really enjoy! We got homemade chocolates from a vendor with a brilliant and refreshing mint flavor to it. I also got a bullet necklace where the bullet shell was carved in beautiful and elaborate designs. Steve got a David Bowie magnet which was awesome! The merchandise here is one of a kind and if it isn't then if there are duplicates of an item then it is very exclusive to that vendor or the market.In other words the likelihood of finding these items somewhere else are unlikely. Almost all of the vendors have their own business cards and I imagine you could place some orders for what they sell after the Mourning Market is held. The Mourning Market has about two dates out of the year as to when it is held. As I said location is bound to change year to year but it's definitely worth keeping track of. Their website is very straightforward and if you have the interest in becoming a vendor at the market there is even a link for that too at the website. The Mourning Market is a great way to support your local artists in the area!

There's a VR car ride, an alien bull ride (must-do), and a diverse range of contemporary art across different mediums. I think it's worthwhile for everyone because it is interactive, engaging, and easy to enjoy even if you're not "into" art There's also the Mirror Mirror exhibit, which is basically an interactive photo competition inside the gallery. You take your photo in front of the large mirror installation and submit it for a chance to be featured in their rotating display. Visitors vote on their favorites, and the selected images are showcased in the space. My photo was actually featured for a few weeks, which was such a cool surprise and made the whole experience feel personal -- I feel like I'm a part of the Seattle community now! The gallery itself has a warehouse feel -- it reminded me of the Brooklyn art shows I've been to, and it's cool to see that kind of industrial, contemporary art space outside of nyc. Tickets were around $25 per person, with discounts for students, children, and seniors. They're open about half the week. This was one of my highlights of things to do downtown.

Like it's still a work in progress with no guarantee of permanence. I want it to be so much more. I'd like to see this thrive and not just survive. It's a pastiche of ideas that doesn't seem to be fully realized. -There's a "figure drawing" area. That's only active with a live model once a month. Why? -Why is such a large space dedicated to making selfie's in front of a mirror? I like that it involves the public to participate but you could have a space for more art instead -The murderers row of paintings and sculpture is an uncurated hodgepodge of whatever fits on a wall, dysfunctional at best and crowded at worst. -The VR station, is sad low-poly jerkiness that you end up feeling bad that you disturbed someone from doomscrolling to run it for you -The Electronic Department could be so much more. Would it hurt to paint the area black to pull focus on the screens perhaps? -The place lacks ambiance. YET...the ambient noise from the HVAC System/Nudibranch Rodeo sculpture is so incessant that it becomes quite maddening before you get to the end of the presentation -The staff (at least two people we talked to) seemed to not know a lot about the space/events/activities UNSOLICITED IDEAS: *Run a regular life painting/drawing sessions with good lighting, several times a week. We could use more!!! *Have a 30-day artist in residence near the figure drawing session so people can see an artist at work through the windows and be drawn in *Put a lounge/coffee/station at the bottom floor near the escalators and gift shop to drive traffic and make a little money *Shrink up the self section expand wall space to hold more paintings/art that isn't so crowded *Paint the floors, finish them with purpose at least, you don't have to go full Meow Wolf but it'd tie the place together. *Invest in acoustic paneling or something to kill all that noise--would prefer some kind of ambient sound art over that *Spend less time marketing and more time creating a stronger schedule presence where people would really like to be and interact *Replace that storytelling campfire idea or whatever that is with something more useful, like a life-sized Electric Coffin sasquatch that people can take selfie's with. Maybe create like a wishing well of ideas that can be written and thrown in the firepit--currently it lacks the intimacy of a fire pit. Enclose that area, anything to cut it off from the bright lights and noise *Have once a month Maker's Mart upstairs near the dugout canoe area. Make it a lottery so that the same people aren't set up all the time to drive more traffic. Since it's a blocked off section you could charge a lower entry fee if at all *Curate Pop-Up art shows like flatstock, rock posters, pinstripers, soft sculpture, comic art, video game art, etc. *Hire a Creative Director to bring this place around and give it a presence PUTTING IT SUCCINCTLY: It's an embarrassment of space where I guess events happen and art is the backdrop. It could be so much more, a mainstay of the Seattle Art scene. There's really no need to go back as far as I can tell. =s=

Additional gallery viewing times can be made by appointment. Current art installation is "Have You Eaten?", a group exhibit featuring AAPI artists.
