Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair 2021
Back by popular demand, the Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair (SDAF) returns for the month of August, celebrating the resilience of visual arts in Seattle with over 40 galleries, art institutions and non-profit organizations participating in this month-long event. Last year’s community-driven efforts drew the attention of over 13,000 unique website visitors and brought crowds safely back into the galleries to view artwork over the course of the month. Through the collaborative efforts of the gallery community, the SDAF returns, continuing with the hybrid format of online and in-person exhibitions, with an added calendar of in-person events.
With the aim of raising awareness of the existing vibrant arts and culture available in the greater Seattle region, SDAF celebrates the re-opening and recovery of our neighborhoods. The strength of the visual arts community is evident, as not a single art gallery has closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foster/White Gallery’s selection of works from Will Robinson and Tom Burrows celebrates our emergence from the pandemic by creating a visual landscape imbued with a newfound appreciation of life, compassion, communal strength, and fortitude so fundamental to the human experience.
Art enthusiasts and collectors are invited to view all SDAF exhibitions online at www.seattledeconstructedartfair.com, and in person at individual gallery locations. Check out the consolidated calendar of events – featuring in person exhibition openings, artist meet & greets, as well as an online map of all the participating galleries.
The Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair runs online and in person from August 5 – 31, 2021. A First Thursday Kick-off event is planned for August 5, 2021 from 6 - 8 pm in Pioneer Square and Downtown, marking the official return of the First Thursday Artwalk after a 16 month hiatus.
