Yes, it’s time for this month’s Capitol Hill Art Walk on the Second Thursday of the month, and since it’s Pride Month, they’ve partnered up with Seattle PrideFest for the Queer Edition.

This month’s walk features LGBTQ artists, queer themed shows and queer owned venues. The fun starts at 6 pm tonight (Thursday, June 9th) and lasts as long as each individual gallery/venue is open to the public. Most venues are open to the public; a couple are boozy so 21+ in those establishments obviously.

Here’s a map for this month’s event:
