"From Hwagae Market to Pike Place Market"
Stories of immigrant life through the stories of the marketplace.
Curated by Kellis Parlett.
September 14 - October 16, 2026
Opening Reception: September 18, 6 - 7:30 PM
Markets are symbols of exchange and community. Hwagae Market and Pike Place Market, though distant in time and place, both embody harmony, preservation, and community spirit. Presented by the Korean American Artists Association of Washington, this exhibition expresses immigrant memories and identities through art, sharing stories of life and journey through the spirit of the marketplace.
The Leonor R. Fuller Gallery is 1,200 square feet in size. The walls are white and made of drywall backed with 3/4-inch plywood. There is an 11-1/2 foot high Unistrut grid system with track lighting throughout, and the gallery is wired for media art.
