Join Crosscut for a celebratory social event with several of the artists featured in Crosscut’s Black Arts Legacies project. Enjoy catered bites and drinks* while listening to the music selections of Black musicians, JusMoni and DJ Yaddy of Sway and Swoon DJ Collective. There will also be short performances by Mona Lake Jones, Anastacia-Reneé and Edna Daigre, three of the artists recognized in the project. Upstairs in the theater, artist profile videos will play throughout the event.

This event also kicks off LANGSTON’S annual We Out Here festival, June 16-18.

Black Arts Legacies, supported by the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, is an evolving digital archive showcasing the Black arts ecosystem, across time and genres, and within the larger context of cultural movements in the region. It highlights the vital role Black artists have played and continue to play in the Northwest cultural landscape.
