(gentle music) Crosscut's newly-launched "Black Arts Legacies" project is a growing online archive that highlights the essential contributions Black artists have made to Seattle's cultural landscape, past and present.
The inaugural effort recognizes an inter-generational group of 26 local musicians, dancers, visual artists, poets, performers, curators, and architects whose creative expressions document the complexity of being a Black artist in Seattle.
You'll get to know these artists through written profiles, portrait photography, a podcast about the art spaces that have fostered Black creativity, and documentary videos.
Theirs are stories of being the first, of contending with discrimination and breaking down barriers, of long careers and careers cut short, and of building community through the arts.
