A Conru Art Foundation Exhibition
A century of Seattle, and the art that comes next.
Two centuries on one floor. Upstairs at the Occidental Fine Arts Center this summer, we hang the historical Beautiful Things, 1850–1950 collection — paintings, photographs, mechanical marvels, and the everyday objects Seattleites once treasured — alongside new contemporary work by the Seattle Art Prize Fellows. A century apart, on the same wall.
Tours every 30 minutes, 12 PM to 4:30 PM. Closed Mondays. Eight people per tour.

Opening Summer 2026
When the FIFA World Cup comes to Seattle this summer, hundreds of thousands of visitors will walk through Pioneer Square. We want them to experience something unforgettable: a century of beautiful things made, owned, and cherished by the people who built this city.
The AWWW Wall
Cats & dogsNineteenth-century cats, dogs, parrots, and the children who loved them — all looking right at you from the same wall. Drawn from the CAF collection of Victorian pet paintings. The wall everyone will photograph.
