Time Out for Culture

Here is a sampling of exhibits, music and theater performances, and other cultural events that will be waiting for you in Seattle in mid-October.

At the Seattle Art Museum, you can catch SAM Next: Corbin Hewitt, a contemporary art exhibit, which runs through October 18. Remembrance: Andrew Wyeth featuring some of the 20th century artist's finest paintings, also closes on October 18. Opening October 15 will be Alexander Calder: A Balancing Act and Michelangelo: Public and Private.

Take the Monorail to Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle) for TurkFest on October 17 and 18. Experience a bit of Turkish culture through food and drink, folk dancing, arts and crafts. Admission to the festival is free.

Also part of Seattle Center, the very unique Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum will feature Spaced Out: The Final Frontier in Album Covers, an exhibit of space-themed album covers from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

The Earshot Jazz Festival, running October 16-November 8, will feature dozens of great jazz performances in locations all around the city.

Just blocks from our conference venue, the 5th Avenue Theatre will be hosting performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

If none of these events suit your fancy, visit Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau for many more possibilities.
