Can grantwriters fully embrace our roles as agents of change, rather than reflecting the “white moderate” approach decried by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963? Let’s reexamine some of the grantwriting, fundraising, and funding philosophies and practices we've been used to, and have some uncomfortable conversations. The pandemic and society's reckoning with systemic racism has started such discussions, but what are the actual results at this point? Soo Hong's Metaplay by AMcE Creative Arts
AMcE Creative Arts is pleased to be presenting a solo exhibition of Seattle-based abstract painter Soo Hong. Her show Metaplay includes large-scale paintings inspired by quotidian moments, internal dialogues and cultural queries expressed through vibrant color and brushstroke energized with a cadence the artist likens to her life’s soundtrack. The contiguous pieces in Metaplay riff on the tempo of music as it relates to her thought patterns and processes. This exhibition and all events have been coordinated by Cay Lane, MFA '21. 2022 Lunar New Year Fair by Wing Luke Museum Join us as we take our Lunar New Year Fair outside!

Momentous Gesture by Rafael Soldi / Strange Fire Collective Momentous Gesture—curated by the Strange Fire Collective—is an exhibition of work by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ artists whose work embraces gesture while attempting to move the needle on intersectional socio-political issues, reminding us that beauty can be found in a rigorous social conceptual framework. Whether it is through corporeal gesture—dance, ritual, durational performance—or through formal gesture in paint, collage, and collaborative human-nature printmaking, these artists weaponize beauty to bring focus to important questions about the world around us. Since I Been Down - Film Discussion & Advocacy for Justice Reform by Seattle U ICTC Join a discussion of Since I Been Down. This film told by the people who have lived these conditions, unravels why children commit violent crime and how these children—now adults—are breaking free from their fate by creating a model of justice that is transforming their lives, our humanity and the quality of life for all our children. The panel presentation and discussion will be led by Jennifer Kelly, Director of the Jesuit Restorative Justice Initiative Northwest (JRJINW). Shakespeare: Drum & Colours by Seattle Shakespeare Two plays. Two directors. Nine Actors. It’s theatrical lightning in a bottle! Juxtaposing a comedy and a tragedy in rotating repertory is a showpiece of range and talent. Hamlet and As You Like It are distilled to their essences in sizzling adaptations that focus on the actor’s art of storytelling peeled bare. For the past two years, Seattle Shakespeare has supported POC artists on a journey to explore personal connections to the classics through our Shakespeare Equity Engagement program and the Holding Space project. In meeting the community’s needs this all-POC Shakespeare repertory company sprang forth with 360-degree representation, including actors, directors, and an all-POC design team. It’ll be a theatrical highwire act to shed new light on familiar works. #DoTheWork Arts Leadership Formation Part of our commitment, as Arts Leaders, is to remain open and teachable in the formation of our leadership posture and approach.
