THE FUTURE IS SEATTLE MUSIC
Powered By: The Seattle Sound Music Awards

We are the sound of a city in motion — creators, dreamers, and storytellers whose art was born in the rain and raised in resistance.
Seattle’s BIPOC artists have long been the soul of this city — shaping its rhythm, carrying its truth, and giving voice to the unheard.
Even as we face displacement, rising costs, and fading stages, our spirit remains unshakable.
We are still here.
We are still creating.
We are the sound of the future — and the future is Seattle Music.

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.

Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
