Henry Art Gallery

The university’s sleek fine-art gallery mounts some of the most intelligent exhibits and installations in Seattle and serves as a touchstone for the arts community. There are dedicated spaces for video and digital art, and a small permanent collection, as well as rotating shows (35 a year). Part of the permanent collection is Skyspace, by James Turrell, an artist whose medium is light. Turrell’s installation over the sculpture garden will alter the way you look at the ever-changing Seattle sky. If you pay $1 extra for a ticket here, you get free entry to the Burke Museum on the same day.
