Salon Soiree at the Frye
This event is sold out.
Come together with artists, ardent fans, and new friends of the Frye for an unforgettable evening of stellar food, craft cocktails, and a one-night-only performance. Experience the museum like never before, all in support of the Frye Art Museum.*
The evening begins with wine, signature cocktails and mocktails, and playful multi-cuisine bites by Chef Elmer Dulla of Familyfriend—one of the city’s hottest new restaurants. Then, step into the Frye Salon, reimagined for the evening as a dazzling concert venue, where you’ll be treated to the vibrant sounds of Love City Love as the homegrown talent collective fills the gallery with poetry, music, and dance.
Inspired by historic salon gatherings that brought together artists, intellectuals, and patrons for the exchange of bold ideas, Salon Soiree transforms the striking setting of over 100 floor-to-ceiling paintings into a dynamic space for conversation, artistic engagement, and cultural innovation.
Featured Artist: Love City Love
Love City Love, featuring Owour Arunga (trumpet); Earnie Ashwood (bass), Adra Boo (vocals), Amos Miller (keys), Chris Patin (drums), Pamela Yasutake (tap), and more, is a vibrant cultural collective based in Seattle, dedicated to fostering artistic expression and building community through collaboration.
Their mission is to cultivate authentic cultural space where people from all backgrounds can connect through shared artistic experiences. Hosting art shows, music and dance performances, pop-up shops, and workshops, Love City Love creates opportunities for unity, creativity, and meaningful engagement in our city.
“If Love City Love has anything to say about it, the creative, collaborative vibe many in Seattle want will continue to live, if not thrive and flourish.”—Crosscut Arts
Featured Food: Chef Elmer Dulla and Familyfriend
“Now and then, a restaurant comes along that overtakes our brainwaves”—Aimee Rizzo, The Infatuation
“Seattle’s buzziest restaurant”—Harry Cheadle, Eater Seattle
“This is liberated and playful cooking with clever riffs on comfort food that incorporate other cultural influences on the island of Guam: Spanish, Mexican, Korean, Southeast Asian cuisines. What results is a menu that’s original and inspired.”—Than Vinh, The Seattle Times
*Salon Soiree is a fundraising event in support of groundbreaking contemporary art and artists and the Frye Art Museum’s mission as Seattle’s only free art museum.
