The Art of Celebration
Purple Mark @ Solstice Parade 2008
Celebrating Art and Artists at the Center of the Universe, since 1989!
The Fremont Arts Council believes art helps build stronger communities and creates a sense of place. Fremont is a state of mind not a zip code. The FAC produces the Fremont Solstice Parade, cares for the Fremont Troll and helps make other magic happen that otherwise would leaveSeattle a less colorful place.
The Fremont Arts Council builds community through art and art activities.
You may have seen or participated in some of the celebration art events the FAC produces: The Fremont Summer Solstice Parade and Solstice Celebration at Gas Works Park, Luminata Lantern Walk, Trolloween, the Feast of the Winter Solstice, and the May Day Gathering. Maybe you’ve seen our home base and community workshop, The Powerhouse at 3940 Fremont Ave North.
Or you may have visited (or even decorated!) some of Fremont’s famous public artworks, without knowing how they got there. The Fremont Troll, Waiting for the Interurban statues, Space in Fremont, and the B.F. Day Tile Mural are all Fremont Arts Council projects that have become Seattle landmarks.
We welcome you to our website and hope it will help inspire your creativity.
