Cannonball Arts Center

Cannonball Arts Center is a contemporary arts and cultural venue in central Seattle, occupying a large converted commercial building arranged across two levels. Covering approximately 66,000 square feet, it combines exhibition galleries, installations, performance areas and spaces for music events. Its flexible layout supports different configurations, including events for up to 500 seated guests or approximately 2,500 people in a standing arrangement.

The interior retains the building's spacious, industrial character, with high ceilings, open floor areas and features such as escalators, while changing art installations give the venue a distinctive visual identity. Music and performance events benefit from a state-of-the-art professional sound system, and the combination of galleries, event areas and artistic environments allows the atmosphere to change according to the program.

The venue is located at 1930 3rd Ave, Seattle, Washington 98101, United States, in the downtown area near the corner of 4th Avenue and Virginia Street. Paid parking is available directly next to the venue, while several bus stops are within one block; Westlake Station is approximately a 5–10 minute walk away.

Seattle, a vibrant city on the shores of Puget Sound, is not only a technology hub but also one of the most attractive U.S. destinations for top-tier concerts and sporting events. The city takes pride in a strong live scene and modern venues, while offering visitors a well-rounded stay—ranging from diverse dining to accommodation for every budget, whether you choose hotels in the center or practical options across the wider urban area.

A key advantage of Seattle is its efficient connectivity: getting around is made easy by Link light rail, the King County Metro bus network, and the Seattle Streetcar, with additional regional links that help you reach major neighborhoods and event areas quickly. If you arrive by air at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) or by train at King Street Station, it’s straightforward to plan your way to the city’s flagship sports and concert locations, and the clear transit network reduces planning time and takes the stress out of logistics.

Before or after the event, use the city as a sightseeing bonus: stroll through Pike Place Market, head down to the Seattle Waterfront for bay views, or explore the historic core around Pioneer Square. For an iconic panorama, stop by the Space Needle or seek out viewpoints that open up vistas of the city, the water, and the surrounding mountains—an ideal way to round out Seattle and turn a concert or match into a complete trip.
