Hey, Black Seattle! We Are Here | Episode 2 | Arte Noir

The Greater Seattle Area has a relatively small Black population that is spread out across a large geography. But contrary to what many expect, the area has also deeply rooted Black history, passionate leaders investing in the preservation of Black heritage, and an array of people from all over the African diaspora who continue to relocate to the region and share their culture. It’s a unique melting pot for the nearly 350,000 Black residents who live across the central Puget Sound. Hey, Black Seattle was created to help them learn about their community and discover their opportunities to connect. In this 5-part series, we join Kiesha Garrison, Founder of Hey, Black Seattle!, for a day visiting some of the guardians of Black community and culture that inspired her to launch a company focused on enabling connection for Black people in the region. In this episode, Kiesha sits down with Jazmyn Scott, the Executive Director of Arte Noir, whose roots in Seattle's Central District run as deep as her long-standing passion for advocating for Black artists. This black art specialty shop and fine arts gallery is a vibrant space showcasing the talent and creativity of the Black community. ARTE NOIR goes beyond simply exhibiting art. It serves as a community hub, offering a space for artists to connect, collaborate, and share their passions. The gallery regularly hosts workshops, events, and artist talks, creating a dynamic environment that nurtures artistic growth and expression. This segment was first aired on Back2Besa on FOX 13 Seattle. See past episodes and segments at whereweconverge.com/back2besa and on the FOX Local app. Credits: A Hey, Black Seattle!
