Augmented Reality (AR) Walking Tour: Future Arts Way *Central Downtown* ✨Lunchtime Tour for Businesses✨ (Seattle Art & Culture Week Special)
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.
