Welcome to Seattle Center
33rd Avenue is a 60-minute show directed by Seattle's own Nailah "Oni" Bulley. This production showcases the intersection of cultures, resulting in a beautiful fusion. The title, 33rd Avenue, pays tribute to Bulley's late grandmother, Alyce Gloria Harris, who previously owned a residence at 33rd and Olive in Seattle (central district). The show highlights Bulley's creative flair, offering a cultural exchange experience that blends hip-hop, tap dance, majorette, and drill team performances with West African music and dance. The production features some of Seattle's most talented traditional drummers, dancers, youth, and elders, making it an event not to be missed.

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.
Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on a newly revitalized Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
