The Seattle Office of Arts and Culture offers this grant for public projects, opportunities, and events at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, a historic cultural facility in Seattle’s Central Area. Support consists of building use rather than money. The program seeks to celebrate, nurture, present, and preserve African American and Diaspora performing arts and cultural legacies.
Projects must advance at least one program goal: reaching underserved artists, communities, or distinct audiences; expanding or diversifying participation in Seattle arts and culture; advancing the institute’s cultural goals; or addressing a community need and building community through arts and culture.
