The Kennedy Center Presents - The Cartography Project Tres McMichael, MFA'22, has joined a new project at the Kennedy Center called The Cartography Project. This new curatorial music program is led by the National Symphony Orchestra and Washington National Opera, and is one of the five pillars of the Kennedy Center's Social Impact work. The Cartography Project is a multi-year commissioning project engaging artists from around the nation to map Black dignity as a cultural response to extrajudicial violence. Inspired by the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, a visual interpretation of the moral trauma of our history, The Cartography Project seeks to use music as both a source of healing and a way to open dialogue about the future of anti-racism. The NSO, WNO, and Kennedy Center will be commissioning composers and librettists from regions spanning the entire country to create work that responds to an event that has occurred in that region and also asks, “Where do we go from here?” Comprising eight works that together create a musical map of these incidents, the commissions, which will premiere during the 50th Anniversary season, focus on the road forward on our country’s racial timeline with an emphasis on the concept of “Black Dignity.” Black Film Archive: 28 Black Films for the 28 Days of Black History Month Black Film Archive celebrates the rich, abundant history of Black cinema. BFA is an evolving archive dedicated to making historically and culturally significant films made from 1915 to 1979 about Black people accessible through a streaming guide supplemented with cultural context. Maya Cade of Black Film Archive writes: "The 28 films selected convey a message about Black people’s expansive contributions to cinematic history. This selection is a place to start, find yourself in, retreat to, and rediscover gems." Click here to read Maya's full post and access this year's list. Click here to access the 2021 list. Humanities WA Fellows Program - Application Cycle Ending Soon! Humanities Washington is excited to announce its new Public Humanities Fellows program, which aims to bring innovative public humanities programming to underserved communities around the state. The public humanities is a vibrant field that shares the humanities outside of academic circles, but there are too few opportunities for hands-on training and professional development. This program aims to change that by offering a stipend and support to early-career humanists (including graduate students, non-profit professionals, untenured professors, culture bearers, and other humanities experts) who are seeking to develop their program management and public humanities skills. Fellows receive a stipend of $5000 and up to $3500 to fund the public humanities project, as well as professional development opportunities, technical assistance and mentorship from public humanities professionals, and regular meetings with a cohort of other fellows. Humanists from communities who are underrepresented in the humanities are especially encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply to be a Public Humanities Fellow is March 1, 2022, and the project must be completed by November 15, 2022. The Seattle Arts Fellowship Application - Now Open! The Arts Leadership MFA program is proud to be a partner of the Seattle Arts Fellowship, now in its second year. The Seattle Arts Fellowship is a yearlong fellowship program hosted by Seattle Opera, Seattle Symphony, KingFM, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and in partnership with Seattle University to develop the next generation of arts leaders.

The paid fellowship includes hands-on work experience in arts administration and learning opportunities including leadership training, skill building, mentorship, and networking.

Community Events Wabi-sabi | Virtual Lecture by Frye Art Museum Wabi-sabi is an aesthetic ideal of rustic simplicity which emerged in 15th-century Japan. Associated with rock gardens and the development of the tea ceremony, wabi-sabi celebrates imperfection and impermanence. This course is part of the Art History Lecture Series by Rebecca Albiani. 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. 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. Embodied Change: South Asian Art Across Time by Seattle Asian Art Museum Spanning a period from the third millennium BCE to today, the works in this exhibition offer metamorphic and compelling images of the human body. Most of the artists utilize female and feminized forms in a myriad of ways, including as a devotional object, as a mode of self-representation, and to question the safety of public spaces. #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.
