ABOUT THE CENTRAL DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD
The Central District has been home to Seattle’s African American community for over 100 years. It is the birthplace of many world-renowned artists. Since the 1920s, the Central District has been a hub for African-American art and artists. Though its demographics are changing, the neighborhood remains the spiritual and cultural center for many blacks in the Pacific Northwest.
By incorporating this historically and culturally significant neighborhood into the name of our organization, we honor the tradition of black arts in Seattle and reflect our mission to explore and celebrate the ways in which the black experience continues to profoundly shape our collective American culture.
Who I'd like to meet: Artists, thinkers, writers, academics and intelligent and creative people!
We'd like to invite you all and your friends to Freehold Theatre's Kick-Off Party this coming Wednesday, September 12th from 7:00-9:00 pm at Freehold's East Hall Theatre.
