Seattle, July 27-30, August 3
The Railspur
419 Occidental Ave

FFTT believes that artists play a vital role in the cultural ecosystems from which they grow, and aims to protect and expand their reach amid an ever-changing environment. We will be partnering with an array of artists and organizations that share these values with their respective communities. Visitors will experience seven floors of immersive installations, large scale murals, group exhibitions and a 4-day block party in the historic brick alley. Our hope is to increase public accessibility and engagement with a diversity of work from emerging artists, both local and visiting. Participating exhibitions include Forest For The Trees, Gaspar Yanga, Void Projects, Howl curated by Lele Barnett & Amanda Manitach, Ancient As Time by Christopher Martin, and XO Seattle.

The Space 

419 Occidental Ave is part of the Railspur revitalization project by Urban Villages. It is a seven-story historic warehouse with an activated alley in the heart of Pioneer Square, 0.5 miles from the Seattle Art Fair at the Lumen Field Event Center.
