Join us for a day of art! Featuring art from top local BIPOC artists, soul food, & a FREE Pudding & Paint for youth & young adults!
The Kingspen 88 Art Show will consist of a free "pudding and paint" for up to 100 youth who pre-register. We will be painting a pre-drawn image related to the Central District from the year 1988. The participants will receive a complimentary commemorative t-shirt, canvas, paint supplies and a snack size jar of Dom's Southern Style Banana Pudding.
The event will celebrate Black culture and heritage, promote black artists and performers of various genres, foster community engagement, amplify underrepresented voices as well as educate and raise awareness of what the Central District has to offer in regard to food, art and culture.
The Kingspen 88 Art Show and Festival is designed to empower black youth while also promoting cultural exchange. It is sponsored by Africatown Community Land Trust and the City of Seattle Office of Arts and Culture as well as Kingspen LLC. We are thankful for the partnership of Arte Noire and the contributing businesses of Midtown Square without whom this event wouldn't have been possible.
