“The True Butterfly Effect” is a hybrid art exhibition opening at Slip Gallery on September 12th during the Belltown Art Walk (on view through October 4). Inspired by the Butterfly Effect—the idea that small shifts can lead to big impact—the exhibition features a large-scale installation of hundreds of hand-decorated aluminum butterflies created by community members alongside theme-aligned artwork by local artists. Through free workshops and butterfly-making activities held throughout August and September, participants of all ages and abilities are invited to contribute their creativity to the project. Celebrating connection, transformation, and the ripple effects of everyday actions, The True Butterfly Effect highlights the importance of individual expression within the collective fabric of community.
