ARTE NOIR encourages artists who identify as Black, African American, or African to analyze and express their experiences of the Central District through a lens of criticality that explores the use of color, content, subject matter, visual elements, and symbolism, authentically narrating a visual love note that continues the legacy of the Central District from their personal, cultural, spiritual, economic, and political perspectives.
Each artwork will be seen and experienced as a portal, enriching and broadening the creative and cultural reflections for viewers about the legacy of the Central District, what can be learned and why we celebrate!
The group exhibition, Central District Legacy, on view at ARTE NOIR through August 3, 2025, takes viewers on a visual journey through Seattle’s historically Black neighborhood—recounting its past, reflecting its present, and imagining its future. Featuring work by artists Myron Curry, Mohamed Gabriel, Akoiya Harris, Rodney H. King, Troy R. Miles, and Zorn B. Taylor, the show offers a multifaceted tribute to the legacy and evolving identity of the Central District.
