Path with Art

This Thursday, kick off an evening of creativity with Art After Hours and the opening of Summer Visions Exhibition: Play + Process, an opportunity to both experience art and create your own.

Start by exploring the exhibition that celebrates the joy of making, then tap into your creativity by trying the ancient art of repoussé to create a shimmering textured metal fish. We’ll provide the stencils, inspiration, and all the materials you need.

Both events are FREE and open to everyone. Bring a friend and RSVP through the link in our bio!

Tomorrow kicks off the first event in our Colors of Liberation series! Join us for one of our hands-on workshops over the next month to explore freedom, belonging, and community through art.

Using natural dyes, stamps, and printing, we’ll create banners and flags inspired by the 250th anniversary of the United States—and the many cultures, people, and technologies that shaped the American flag.

As we create together, we’ll reflect on questions like:
💫 “What does independence mean to you?”
💫 “When have you felt part of something larger than yourself?”
💫 “How has community lifted or changed you?”
💫 “When have you felt liberated?”

Artist Laura C. Wright will guide participants through the process while sharing the history of indigo, madder, and cochineal—natural pigments and dye technologies from around the world that contributed to the colors of the earliest American flags.

Your banners and flags will become part of a community installation, displayed while they dry.

📍First workshop: Saturday, July 11 at Licton Springs Park (North Seattle)
🕐 Drop in anytime between 1–4 PM. Stay for a few minutes or the whole afternoon

Join us! Together, we’ll remix history into a shared expression of creativity, connection, and possibility.

Mental health can be a challenge. For LGBTIQ+ individuals, that challenge is often magnified.

Path with Art creates spaces that center q***r identity and expression. Join us for our upcoming exhibition: Q***r Visions, a powerful exploration of identity, q***r joy, and belonging, opening on Friday, June 5th at The Fishbowl.

Did you know? LGBTIQ+ adults are more than twice as likely as their heterosexual peers to experience a mental health condition. And a study found that 40% of LGBTIQ+ adults have experienced rejection from a friend or family member.

Our mission fosters inclusive community and connection through art. 80.6% of our participants report reduced loneliness. And since the introduction of q***r-centered programming at Path with Art, we've seen our LGBTQIA+ community grow.

As we near the end of Mental Health Awareness Month and turn the corner into Pride Month, we're reminded that mental health and inclusive, supportive community go hand in hand, day after day. At Path with Art, we see that when q***r artists thrive, so does their health. We invite you to see that power for yourself at Q***r Visions.

Join us for the opening reception on June 5 from 5:30-8p at The Fishbowl. RSVP here: https://pathwithart.org/events/q***r-visions-exhibition
