Arts & Culture

Arts and culture drive transformation on the Eastside. We've integrated creativity into every dimension of our revitalization—housing, infrastructure, education, historic murals, and beyond. We're building a community where quality art is accessible, economic and social opportunities are rooted in creative practice, and culture is part of everyday life for residents, visitors, and stakeholders.
