Path with Art, in partnership with the Seattle Latino Film Festival and Seattle Opera, is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a showing of the documentary “The Muralists’ Beautiful Pain”. This film explores the stories of seven Chicanx mural artists from the Bay Area who face personal and cultural challenges as artists of color. The film’s director, Victor Aquino, will make introductions prior to the start of the film.

Prior to the documentary we will screen the 5 min short poetry film “Habana,” directed by the Venezuelan filmmaker Luiner Lugo, in collaboration with an international team of artists. The short film is based on Havana, a poem written by Jorge Enrique González Pacheco, a Cuban-American well-known poet and film industry professional.

SLFF includes international filmmakers, producers, and actors with the specific purpose of engaging the Seattle community with cross-cultural perspectives, and to create a forum to explore those perspectives, many of which are integral to the experience of "Latinidad."To learn more about the festival and to see the program visit slff.org

The pandemic was traumatic for everyone. PwA was with our Participant Artists during the entire process; we never closed our doors (690 PA’s in 2020 vs 890 in 2019), and ramped up our online programming providing venues and resources to overcome the trauma of a pandemic and restoration through arts engagement and community building. Participant Artists responded to the challenge to be engaged by creating pieces that talk about their experience during this challenging time.

This special body of work reflects both the difficulties and resilience we experienced over these last couple of years.

Join us to reflect and to celebrate new beginnings!

This show will run from April 14-May15th 2023, so if you cannot make it to the opening be sure to stop by during our open hours to check it out.

Join us for an intimate community concert at the ArtHOME with singer- song writer Amber Rubarth, an artist that is deeply connected to trauma recovery through music.

Doors open at 5:30pm with the concert from 6–7pm. Event is sold out.

We are honored to be featured in a new short film directed by Howard Shack that will air on the Seattle Channel’s Community Stories program on March 13th at 7PM.

WATCH IT HERE

In recognition of Black History Month, a one-hour documentary film, “Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts,” directed by Dru Holley of Vancouver, Washington, will be shown at SIFF on Friday, February 17th at 5:30 pm.
