Celebrate the Season of Giving: Support Culture, Community, and Belonging
The holiday season is a time of giving, reflection, and coming together to support causes that strengthen our communities! Non-profit organizations like Wa Na Wari, The Wing Luke Museum, and The Northwest African American Museum play vital roles in preserving culture, amplifying voices, and fostering equity and belonging. By supporting these organizations during the holidays, you contribute to their impactful missions of creating spaces for art, history, and healing. Whether through donations, memberships, or attending events, your support helps sustain their efforts to celebrate diversity, preserve cultural heritage, and build stronger, more inclusive communities.
Wa Na Wari, co-founded by artists Inye Wokoma, Elisheba Johnson, Rachel Kessler, and Jill Freidberg, is a center dedicated to celebrating Black art and fostering a sense of belonging. This immersive community art project reclaims Black cultural spaces, emphasizing the importance of Black land ownership in gentrified neighborhoods such as the Central District. Through art, historic preservation, and community connection, Wa Na Wari's mission is to cultivate Black ownership, possibility, and belonging. By incubating and amplifying Black art, the center serves as both a creative hub and a safe space for organizing and movement-building. Learn more about them HERE.
