Art, Culture & Community

Seattle is welcoming the world and sharing the best of our community with a Corridor of Nations along the iconic Monorail track that connects Seattle Center to Westlake. Fifty-two columns celebrate the nations that have qualified for the FIFA World Cup(tm) along with Juneteenth, Pride, and Indigenous designs created by local artists. Residents and visitors riding the Seattle Monorail or checking out the Unity Loop between Fan Celebrations at Seattle Center and Seattle Soccer House at Pacific Place can experience this art project that connects our city.

Three artists have been comissioned to create original temporary artworks on campus for our World Soccer Fan Celebration. Includes artwork by Megan Prince at Fisher Pavilion Roof, a colorful string installation by Christy Caravaglio at Artists At Play Plaza, plus a unique, giant sand sculpture by Jamie Louks, to be created live and in-person at Artists at Play between July 1-8.

Visual art and heritage exhibit hosted by the Festál cultural festival coalition that seeks to reveal what we have in common, while celebrating the uniqueness, diversity, and broad global roots of Pacific Northwest residents. Art of many mediums and a variety of heritage pieces. Featuring work by artists Fulgenico Lazo and Ritsuko Kashiba, and others. Open in International Fountain Pavilion on select days between June 11 and August 15, 2026. This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
