Historic Central Area Arts & Cultural District (HCAACD) is Seattle’s second official Arts & Cultural District, located in Seattle’s historically African-American neighborhood, a geographic area that was initially redlined, relegating African American residency to this part of the City. We intend to claim our history as a former redlined district in pursuit of maintaining, sustaining, and uplifting Black Arts & Culture in Seattle. HCAACD seeks to preserve the Black legacy in the Central Area by:
Becoming a resource and supporting body
Advocating for Black Artists
Collaborations and partnerships
Placemaking and fostering a sense of place throughout the neighborhood
Facilitating and activating as much as possible
Historic Central Area Arts & Cultural District is fiscally sponsored by Northwest Film Forum. Northwest Film Forum is committed to the power of film and visual media, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Seattle, WA, evolving a forward-thinking vision that supports Seattle's arts community in all of its beautiful diversity.
