Join ARCADE for an SDF mixer with our design community at Railspur in Pioneer Square and tour their recent exhibition, Grand Gesture!
Join ARCADE NW for an SDF mixer at their new space at Railspur in Pioneer Square, a collaborative co-working space with vibrant arts and culture programming. Take an exclusive last look at the exhibition Grand Gesture, an exhibition of work featuring national and global artists Sabine Marcelis, Soo Sunny Park, Jennifer Steinkamp, Holly Ballard Martz, and Barbara Earl Thomas. Each artist was curated from the Port of Seattle’s Public Art Collection to showcase their individual works. This exhibition was curated by Tommy Gregory, SEA Public Art Program Sr. Manager and Curator and produced by ARCADE as a part of ARCADE’s 2027 publishing of the Port of Seattle’s Public Art Monograph.

About Railspur:
Named for the railways that once ran through the area, RailSpur encompasses three historic warehouse buildings in Pioneer Square, Seattle’s first neighborhood. Constructed of brick and timber, the structures — and the corridors between them — connected the Great Northern Railway and the bustling port of Seattle. Focused on preservation and sustainability as much as community and innovation, this transformative Cultural Hub includes office, retail, restaurant, residential, and hospitality experiences. With the offices at 419 Occidental complete, a vibrant mix of new destinations is shaping the district.
This event is free, but RSVPs are required.
Also, if you miss the closing of Grand Gesture, this will be your chance for an exclusive last look before it goes away!
The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.
