Culture Creates Community

Culture Creates Community is an event series that focuses on engaging Eastside communities, with an emphasis on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other typically marginalized communities, to give them an opportunity to engage, express, and listen to other community leaders, thought leaders, and activists. The events focus on having deep, open and welcoming conversations around difficult arts and cultural topics. EastHUB believes that creating the space for and information discussed in these conversations will help create connections and opportunities to build a shared future for our arts and culture community.

These events are currently virtual, free, and open to all. Closed captioning is provided.

Through these events, our goal is to:

Identify priorities to develop a framework that provides a unified vision of what the community wants
Build meaningful relationships between community, arts and cultural organizations, businesses, and government
Give visibility to organizations
Connect different communities and spark cross-cultural conversations
Have conversations around arts and cultural infrastructure such as types of spaces available and types of spaces needed.
Create a platform for networking and making connections

Since the event series started, we have hosted many wonderful speakers – artists, activists, film makers, therapists, educators and many more professionals where we have had meaningful conversations about taboo topics, structural racism, disability, language barriers, preserving culture, and healing trauma.
