Ongoing Programs

here:now is an arts-engagement program of the Frye Art Museum for adults living with dementia and their care partners to enjoy a creative and relaxing afternoon together.

The Frye Art Museum presents an annual season of lectures by art historian Rebecca Albiani, exploring masterpieces of world art.

Experience art, shop the Museum Store, and enjoy dinner and happy hour at MariPili at Café Frieda every Thursday until 8 pm. Plus, expect a diverse and growing lineup of special Thursday evening events, including conversations, performances, interdisciplinary exchanges, and more.

Frye in Focus gallery conversations are held on Fridays at 1 pm, meeting in the Rotunda. These short-form, 45-minute discussions are hosted by a gallery guide and focus on a single exhibition or grouping of works. Free.

The Frye offers free, thirty-minute drop-in sessions of Mindfulness Meditation on the first and third Wednesday of the month. Sessions are guided on alternating months by Harborview psychologist Kristoffer Rhoads, PhD and Katie Freeman.

To accommodate immunocompromised individuals and those who prefer to visit when all guests and staff are required to mask, we offer mask-required hours on the first Sunday of the month from 11 am–1 pm.

Join the Frye Art Museum and Seattle Children’s Theater for storytelling and hands-on art making! This free, one-hour program for preschool-aged children and their caregivers is held on the first Wednesday of each month, from October through May. Doors open at 10 am and the program starts at 10:15 am. Pre-registration is required.

Unpoetry at the Frye is a quarterly public tour of current exhibitions featuring a rotating roster of local poets, authors, and artists. This partnership aims to inspire deep looking and questioning of art through Ekphrastic writing techniques.
