This weekend brings all sorts of ways to get a dose of Seattle arts and culture without ponying up all your cash, ranging from not one but two drive-in plays with Dacha Theatre to Mance Engine’s The Gifts of Distraction and other gallery openings coinciding with the Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair, and from the In the Spirit Arts Market & Northwest Native Festival to Back in the Saddle at Kremwerk. As always, you can also scroll through our top picks for the week, the best movies to watch online and in theaters, and the best things to do all month long.
