✨ What a night. ✨Thank you to everyone who came ✨ What a night. ✨Thank you to everyone who came out for the opening of Colors of Expression — the space was full, the energy was electric, and it was such a joy to celebrate queerness in glass together. Huge gratitude to our incredible artists for sharing their work and voices with us, and to everyone who showed up with curiosity, care, and excitement.Shout out as well to our amazing QTBIPOC vendors for bringing such thoughtful offerings, and to @BLKSTR_9 for keeping the energy up on the decks all night. Please give these artists and makers a follow if you haven’t already — your support means so much. 💜The show is on view through March 27, with lots of chances to come back and spend time with the work. Take a look at our calendar for upcoming workshops and events.We’ll close out the exhibition on Friday, March 27 from 6–8pm with our monthly community circle, reflecting together on all things at the intersection of glass, art, and queerness.

I had the fortune to attend the Creative Economy F I had the fortune to attend the Creative Economy Finance Network inaugural summit thanks to @costellar.co this week. Did you know that Washington has the highest arts & culture value added share of states' GDP in the country?There is currently a concerted effort in WA state to invest in and create scaffolding to support the creative economy here. This includes financing, housing, programs, and more. We learned about what's already happening in WA and the out-of-the-box ways places like CA and CO are already implementing this.This summit included a wide cross section of folks from government agencies to investors to lenders to artists and community leaders to come up with priorities for this effort.Amidst all that's happening in our country, it was energizing and inspiring to be in a room with so many people invested in supporting artists and recognizing our important contributions to society. It was a good day.
