Calendar
Community art shows, community care events, artist grants and opportunities. Please be patient as I'm new to the artist world and still working on gathering information. If there is something you think should be listed, please reach out to Judy at webelongseattle@gmail.com. All events must be community centered and inclusive of diverse identities.

Seattle is on the traditional land of the Duwamish People and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. Consider making a monthly contribution to Real Rent Duwamish to justly compensate the tribe for their land.
