"We Are the Art" ONE DAY EVENT!


The Seattle Arts Coalition presents:
"We Are The Art"
A fundraiser to support artist involvement in the Seattle community

When & Where:
Krab Jab Studio
Saturday, 14 June from noon-9pm
(to coincide with the Georgetown Street Fair)

At the Event:
Art Faire featuring local vendors!
Live art!
Silent art auction!
And more!

Free and open to the public!

Our goal:
We have non-profit status in WA State, but we still need the 501(c)3 stamp of approval from the federal government. It costs money to file the paperwork, but once we have it, all donations to the Coalition will be tax deductible, and we'll have more options available to help local artists achieve their professional art goals. All fundraiser proceeds will go toward our 501(c)3 filing and sponsoring our upcoming art events!

The Seattle Arts Coalition (SAC) is a non-profit organisation committed to providing artists with necessary tools of the professional art trade and promoting artist engagement in the Seattle community and beyond. We sponsor events for artists and artisans including exhibitions, art fairs, and forums. The SAC offers curating, installation and PR services, as well as advice and questions answered to artists interested in showing and selling their work in the Northwest.

Directed by Seattle artists and curators Braden Duncan of BC Duncan Design and Rachel Setzer of Setzer Studio Arts, the SAC is our chance to share with fellow artists what we've learned in our quests to turn art making into a career. We want art and the art making process to be more accessible, available, and profitable for artists and their communities - not just locally, but nationally and globally as well. Art has the ability to direct and shift cultural perspective, and Seattle artists should be at the forefront of the contemporary art movement. It starts here in Seattle, as we encourage artists to become more active and involved in their communities, and it spreads as we all do our part to pay it forward. Please join us and help support your local art scene!

The Seattle Arts Coalition would like to thank Krab Jab Studio for generously donating their art space to us for the evening!

"We Art The Art!"

The Seattle Arts Coalition is having our first official fundraiser! It will coincide with the Georgetown Street Fair the 2nd Saturday in June, and we'll be hosted by the generous folks at Krab Jab Studio.

"We Art The Art!"

We are currently looking for:
1. Artists and artisans who would like to vend at Krab Jab during the Fair (all proceeds go to you, the artist, unless you'd like to donate to the cause)
2. Artists who would like to donate original work or limited edition prints to the silent auction (art donations will be tax-deductible and all proceeds go to the SAC)
3. Local businesses who would like to donate merchandise or services for our raffle (we'll include you as sponsors on our press releases)

Please let us know if you're interested! We look forward to seeing you there!
