Beyond the galleries, the fair features exclusive events and immersive public installations designed to engage and inspire:
2025 Public Project highlights
- New Glass Review 44 Pop-up Installation | Presented by Corning Museum of Glass, Seattle-based sculptor Kelsey Fernkopf’s “Constellation 3” is a glowing neon installation that plays with light and abstract shapes.
- “The Shape of War” | Humaira Abid uses sculptures and real stories to show the impact of war on children in this moving series. Each piece is paired with translated accounts of young lives forever changed by conflict.
- “Plastic Bodies” | This series by Sheila Pree Bright takes a look at how we see ourselves in a world shaped by media and narrow beauty standards. Bright’s bold images of Barbie intends to make viewers pause and think about identity, feminism, and how technology affects the way we define beauty.
- “Duwamish River” | You’ve heard of painting with a brush, but what about a fly rod? That’s how Ben Miller created this stunning piece: casting paint onto plexiglass to capture the river’s reflections.
