AR Walking Tour: Future Arts Way, Pioneer Square [Seattle Art Fair Edition]

About Future Arts Way: OTHER EARTH 2026

​Future Arts Way is a public augmented reality trail running through four Seattle neighborhoods, Belltown, Central Downtown, the Waterfront, and Pioneer Square, from the Pacific Science Center to King Street Station. Developed by Future Arts, the trail places original AR artworks by local and regional artists directly into the fabric of the city, activating storefronts, sidewalks, and public corners with immersive digital experiences rooted in Indigenous knowledge, community histories, and visions of the future. No gallery required. Just your phone, your feet, and the street.

What happens on the tour

​Your guide leads a small group along the trail, stopping at each AR drop to launch the artwork together and hear the story behind it, the artist, the place, and why it lives here. Some works are sweeping and immersive. Others are intimate and unexpected. All of them respond to where you are standing. Expect conversation, curiosity, and a few moments that stop you in your tracks.

What to bring

  • ​Comfortable walking shoes

  • ​Water

  • ​A fully charged phone

  • ​Rental devices and portable chargers available on site for anyone who needs them

What is special about this Art Fair Tour?
Meeting at 12:30 in front of Seattle Art Fair, we will walk over to the South Trailhead of Future Arts Way and begin at King Street Station and walk north through Pioneer Square as the neighborhood glows in the early evening.

Led by Future Arts' Executive Director Yuliya Bruk, this guided AR tour moves through Seattle's oldest neighborhood - Pioneer Square, past independent bookshops, artist-run galleries, and community-built spaces, unlocking 10 augmented reality stories woven into the streets and storefronts along the way.
