Newly-Formed Indigenous Advisory Council Now Accepting Applications! The City of Seattle is now accepting applications for the Indigenous Advisory Council, a nine member commission of Indigenous representatives including youth and elder positions. The council will advise the Mayor, City Council, and City departments on policies, budgets, programs, services, and projects directly affecting Indigenous populations including American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian peoples. The deadline to apply is Monday, February 28 at 5 p.m. The Indigenous Advisory Council was created in 2021 through a bill sponsored by Councilmember and current City Council President, Debora Juarez, a member of the Blackfeet Nation.
The council will help strengthen the City’s unique political relationship with tribal nations and to work to fulfill political, legal, and racial equity obligations to American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian people that reside in Seattle. Americans for the Arts Publishes "Arts & Economic Prosperity 5" Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 is Americans for the Arts’ fifth study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry's impact on the economy. It documents the economic contributions of the arts in 341 diverse communities and regions across the country, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Nationally, the nonprofit arts and culture industry generated $166.3 billion of economic activity during 2015—$63.8 billion in spending by arts and cultural organizations and an additional $102.5 billion in event-related expenditures by their audiences. This activity supported 4.6 million jobs and generated $27.5 billion in revenue to local, state, and federal governments (a yield well beyond their collective $5 billion in arts allocations). By every measure, the results are impressive. This study puts to rest a misconception that communities support arts and culture at the expense of local economic development. In fact, communities are investing in an industry that supports jobs, generates government revenue, and is the cornerstone of tourism. Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 shows conclusively that, locally as well as nationally, the arts mean business! Click here to learn, use, and share Arts & Economic Prosperity 5. Community Events 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. Pained Vistas by Jon Feinstein and Roula Seikaly of Humble Arts Foundation Pained Vistas includes photography and video that engages landscapes framed by conflict, trauma, and beauty. From the legacy of systemic racism in the United States to the Holocaust in Europe and the entrenched conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, to the worldwide reckoning on climate change and many others, Pained Vistas looks to the potential for picturesque views to be fraught with catastrophe and contradiction. 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. 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.
