King Street Station: A Free Seattle Art Show on Care and Mothering
A free multimedia exhibition at King Street Station exploring mothering, care, and community worldbuilding through participatory art.
🎨 This Week at the Station
🗓 What Opens November 5
Visions of Worldbuilding opens on November 5 at ARTS at King Street Station and runs through January 9. Four curators shaped the show around mothering and care as living practices, bringing together multimedia art, participatory installations, and community storytelling. Representative works include Monyee Chau’s digital illustration Sharing Juk and Adrienne Mathews’s portrait work. Admission stays free for the whole run, and the opening reception falls on Pioneer Square’s First Thursday Art Walk.
🪑 Inside the Rooms
Inside, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down across rooms built for deep reflection. Several participatory spaces offer quiet areas to sit, listen, and engage with personal accounts of mothering and community protection. The curators are Kat Noel, Janell Jordan, Jenna Hanchard, and Eula Scott Bynoe, whose backgrounds run through storytelling, facilitation, experimental film, and birth work. Their curation frames care as an active worldbuilding method rather than a passive obligation.
🚪 Hours and Getting In
The gallery sits on the top floor of King Street Station at 303 South Jackson Street. General visiting hours run Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Thursday hours extended to 8:00 PM. Admission is completely free with no advance ticket required. The November 5 opening reception runs 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM as part of Pioneer Square’s First Thursday Art Walk, featuring live music, movement performances, and an herbal tea station hosted by PORTALS.
