On Tuesday, September 24th, more than 600 arts patrons and community members gathered for Celebration of the Arts at McCaw Hall. Attendees warmly gathered and connected in our dynamic pre-event networking receptions, filling the space with conversation and connection around the sector we champion. The event was rich in performances and art presentations by our grantees and cultural partners, including painter Jesse Higman and violin performance from multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Hunter in our receptions. Onstage, led by host Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako, we featured performances from North Seattle Mariachi, Northwest Tap Connection, Sound Theatre, a solo performance of Jessica Lang's The Calling by Pacific Northwest Ballet dancer, Zsilas Michael Hughes, Tacoma Refugee Choir, and a video showcase curated by Tasveer. We were thrilled to welcome Keynote Speaker Jim LeBrecht, a leader in access to join in conversation with Michael around accessibility justice and how art can be the impetus for social change. ArtsFund cannot thank our supporters, partners, staff and volunteers enough for making this event possible.
