Savor — Art in Olympia Storefronts Winter Exhibition
Olympia Artspace Alliance (OAA) is proud to present Savor, a new window installation featuring artwork by young artists from local schools. Now on view in the historic Goldberg Building at Capitol Way and Fourth Avenue, this exhibition runs through March 2026.
This season, Art in Olympia Storefronts invited teachers to submit student work inspired by the theme SAVOR—the beauty, comfort, joy, and connection we often overlook but deeply feel during the winter months. The result is a vibrant, thoughtful collection that encourages passersby to pause, reflect, and take in the moment.
Join us for an Opening Reception on December 12 at 5 pm at the Goldberg Building.

Inspired by Together by former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, this installation explores how human connection creates the warmth we savor in life. Students used flowing color transitions—hues relaying from one to the next—as a metaphor for the relationships and everyday interactions that form a community.
