About the Art Walk

Free art across West Seattle, one Thursday a month

The West Seattle Art Walk is a free, self-guided evening of art. Artists show their work in local businesses, many of which hold receptions and offer Art Walk specials on food and drink. You don’t need a ticket. Pick up the map and go.

It is run by volunteers as a program of the West Seattle Junction Association. Venues stretch from the Alaska Junction north to the Admiral District, south to the Morgan Junction and down to Alki Avenue. Camp West is at 4539 California Avenue SW, in the Alaska Junction and a short walk from many of the stops.
