We Out Here - This 4-day mid-June series of workshops, exhibits and performances is centered on health, wellness, business best practices, and creation & performance for Black artists of multiple disciplines and generations. Producing original theater - in 2020 we produced the world premiere of Darren Canady's play "Reparations" in partnership with Sound Theatre Company. This play exemplified our vision of Cultivating Black Brilliance, employing well over a dozen Black and POC theatermakers and welcoming near sellout audiences every performance in it's 3 week run (our last major in-person event pre-COVID)

IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Seattle Artists Relief Fund was established to provide one-time, small-scale emergency cash assistance to artists and culture workers who lost work due to pandemic closures and cancellations. All funds were gifts of charity intended to support recipients with any reasonable and necessary personal, family, living or funeral expenses incurred as a result of the qualified disaster of the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. All applicants to the fund had to assert that WA was their primary residence and/or that the Seattle Metro Area was the location of income-generating work that was cancelled due to the pandemic. They were required to provide the date and location of their cancelled work, an estimate of income lost as a result of that cancellation, and a minimum amount they needed to make ends meet that month. Every effort was made to verify these claims, and to meet at least part of the applicants' requested amount. Due to the overwhelming demand on the Fund, LANGSTON was only able to gift an average of approx 60% of that minimum per applicant. We place no obligation on recipients of this emergency aid to report how they spent the funds, but many who wrote to thank us reported spending their funds on rent, food, medicine, child care, transportation, utilities, and supplies and equipment to continue their work and/or transition it to online/virtual spaces.
