Visual Arts and Vibrancy

The contributions of Black artists to the cultural landscape of the Seattle area are longstanding, vital and ongoing. The works of these artists — in literature, music, visual arts and performance — are worthy of recognition and examination.

Season 1 Episode 1 | 7m 13s | CC
