Join Crosscut for a celebratory social event featuring several of the artists* recognized as a part of 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.

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.
