An Urban Art-Venture
With Seattle as your studio, join us for a guided, mobile creative experience through the heart of the city.
Make art in the heart of Seattle!
Join us for the inaugeral Artloose Event!
When: July 11th
Here's what's happening!
12:00 pm | The Kickoff
Welcome to the crew! We’re gathering our fellow art-venturers at the Brooke Westlund Gallery on Western Ave. Tucked just behind the bustle of Pike Place Market, this is our home base to drop our bags, meet our guides, and get into the creative flow.
12:30 – 2:00 pm | Abstract Acrylics and Seattle Iconic Imagery
We’re diving straight in with the master herself. Brooke Westlund will guide you through layering abstract backgrounds and selecting iconic Seattle imagery to make your piece pop. We’ll leave these beauties here to dry while we head out for some fresh air and inspiration.
2:30 - 4pm | Watercolor at the Waterfront
There is nothing quite like the light hitting the Puget Sound. We’ll settle in overlooking the Seattle waterfront for a masterclass in painting water. Guided by local watercolorist Camille Robins, you’ll learn to capture the movement and mood of the Pacific Northwest tide.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Cheers to Core Creativity!
Cap off your Artloose Art-Venture with our signature Art Zowie Roving Art Cafe at a surprise Pike neighborhood location! Beverage in hand, pick your creative adventure from our Specialty Artloose Menu and we'll loosely guide you through it:
-Paint a Roll-Up Sun Visor
Beach and festival-ready! Features a pre-traced flower design inspired by the iconic Pike Place Market blooms. Add your colorful touches and have a one-of-a-kind hat!
-Paint Ceramic Tile Coasters
Capture your Seattle memories on a pair of hand-painted coasters you'll treasure and actually use.
Led by Art Zowie Founder and mixed media artist Alexia Rose, this experience is all about creative freedom, connection, and pure artistic joy. No pressure, no perfection—just an Artloose style finale!
5:00 PM | That's a Wrap!
That’s a wrap! Swing back by Brooke Westlund Gallery to grab your earlier painting and belongings.

About Artloose
From the Experience Creator: Brittani Dinsmore
My creative path has never been a straight line. Who’s has?
I’ve lived in Seattle for 14 years, working as a marketer at tech companies, big and small. I loved the creativity that came with my involvement in design and product strategy, but have always longed for more tangible, hands-on art experiences so I can try different mediums and techniques.
I often go to art walks and am amazed by what artists come up with for stunning visual 2D and 3D displays. I wondered if I could do it – asking, “If I gave myself the time and the materials, would I come up with just as cool of stuff?”
