MUST VIEW
Wallflower Exhibit
(1/18, 1/25–1/26) Fashion designer and artist Kara Mia Fenoglietto’s new exhibit Wallflower is a conceptual installation that tackles the anxieties and entrapments of femininity. Fenoglietto’s hand-sewn, thought-provoking pieces challenge the clichés of clothing and homemaker culture, and how both are mass-marketed to women. Times vary. Free. Shift Gallery, Pioneer Square, 312 S Washington St.; shiftgallery.org
MUST DREAM
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
(1/21) The Northwest African American Museum hosts its annual open house to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Make black history-themed art, attend a screening of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, stroll through the museum’s exhibits and mingle with local makers, artists and entrepreneurs. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Prices vary. Northwest African American Museum, Central District, 2300 S Massachusetts St.; 206.518.6000; naamnw.org
MUST GET OUTSIDE
Free State Park Day
(1/21) No Discover Pass is required to enjoy state parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so get some fresh air while visiting one of the state’s natural places—which, unlike the National Parks right now, are still open to the public—such as Deception Pass, Bridle Trails or Lake Chelan. Free. Times and locations vary. parks.state.wa.us
