About SEATTLE CREATES . . .

Each month, we highlight intersections of adjacent industries to help local creatives connect and create more fully. By bridging cross-industries who rely on eachother for economic success, we can facilitate deeper community connections, develop broader resource hubs, and establish a more robust ecosystem of creatives who fuel the creative economy. SEATTLE CREATES is here to shine a light, and we invite you to participate in this vibrant cultural scene because we can't do this without you. It's time to connect + create.

Frequently asked questions
We have a total of NINE workshops that align each month with Capitol Hill Art Walk, 2nd Thursdays of the month. We hope you can attend more than one as we plan to deep dive into 16 different creative industries that fuel Seattle's creative economy.
We're glad you asked because this certainly does NOT define the region, but we had to start somewhere. So for 2024, we kick off with Visual Arts, Design, Tech, Fashion, Music, Film, Radio, Theater, Dance, Performance, Photography, Culinary, Writing, Live Events, Gaming, Marketing + Interactive Tech.
