The first Thursday of every month marks Art Walk in Seattle area neighborhoods. Art Walk includes free admission to the Seattle Art Museum, as well as galleries all over Seattle that feature local artists. Tonight is the first night that EMP and The Science Fiction Museum will be offering free admission. Admission will be free for viewing the permanent collections from 5pm - 8pm, and this will continue every first Thursday of every month.
Tonight, local band The Moondoggies will be playing at EMP's Sky Church at 6pm and 7pm. I like the Sky Church as a venue because it's so futuristic looking. I feel like the Sky Church is what music venues are supposed to look like in 2008. Might as well check it out if you haven't before because it's all free tonight.
Date: Thursday, January 3, 2008
Time: 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Venue: EMP|SFM 325 5th Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109 (map)
SAM: Free Admission Today
Ever since I moved to Seattle, I have passively wondered whether Seattle has a "free day." When I lived in San Francisco, I took advantage of how the first Wednesday of every month many museums, the SF zoo, and other SF attractions were free and open to the public. Being the frugal gal that I am, I have wondered whether Seattle offers such a thing. Today I found out on the magical internet that, in fact, Seattle does.
The first Thursday of every month marks neighborhood art walks all over the Seattle area from Ballard, to Downtown, to Bainbridge Island. Galleries and shops stay open in the evening and showcase local artists and offer snacks. As a part of the art walk, two major museums are free all day today. Here is the scoop from Exploit Seattle:

The Seattle Art Museum and the Seattle Asian Art Museum offer free admission all day on these days. Starting January 3rd, EMP/Science Fiction Museum will also be offering free admission, which includes live music.I am really excited about EMP and the Science Fiction Museum hopping on the free admission bandwagon on January 3. Today, I believe I'll stroll over to SAM during my lunch break.
