Autumn Arts: Visual Art

Seattle's galleries and museums are launching a fall season of exhibitions addressing politics, identity, and the environment, alongside works celebrating beauty. Highlights include Karey Kessler's map-inspired show 'the Where' at Shift Gallery, Ethan Murrow and Mary Finlayson exhibitions at Winston Wächter Fine Art, Anila Quayyum Agha's immersive light installation 'Geometry of Light' at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, and a politically charged neon show 'Call It What It Is' at The Factory. The city-wide Art + Culture Week returns for its second edition, featuring free events across 12 neighborhoods.

‘Geometry of Light’: Step into the shadows at Seattle Asian Art Museum

The Seattle Asian Art Museum has opened 'Geometry of Light,' an immersive exhibition featuring artist Anila Quayyum Agha's 300-pound laser-cut steel lantern sculpture that projects intricate geometric shadows across the gallery walls, ceiling, and floor. Visitors' movements become part of the artwork as their own shadows interact with the light patterns. The show spans three galleries, including paper and fabric works and two light-box installations, and also features Ai Weiwei's 'Water Lilies' rendered in LEGO bricks, on view through March 2026.
