Funding Received: 2011
Seattle, WA
$100,000
Funding Period: 1 year and 5 months

The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, developed a year-round cultural model for sustainable neighborhood revitalization, using arts and culture to attract residents and tourists alike to our historic neighborhood. 

Our project consisted of four key events that have become annual programs: JamFest, our summer art and music series sited in the neighborhood; Mix It Up, a networking event for artists and arts professionals; Holiday Shop-O-Rama, a full month of local artists' trunk shows and shopping incentives throughout our historic district; and Lunar New Year, a neighborhood wide day of celebration with a traditional lion dance, family-friendly exhibition and kids' fair.
