ABOUT NORTHWEST FOLKLIFE
Since 1972, Northwest Folklife has been deeply committed to celebrating the diversity of our Northwest communities and demystifying our differences together, under one roof. Our work centers on preserving cultural arts, bridging connections to heritage and identity, and cultivating the living, evolving traditions of the Pacific Northwest. From daily creativity and imagination to family and community customs, folklife is a part of each of our lives – past, present, and future.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Northwest Folklife believes that promoting our arts, culture, and heritage is paramount in nourishing our lives. Amidst these times of uncertainty, we have heard the need for a space to connect during these digitally-driven circumstances. As such, in line with our mission to continue to serve our community, we have created a virtual platform where we can collectively showcase our folklife, right from our homes.
Presented by Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the 50th Annual Northwest Folklife Festival will take place online May 28-31, 2021. Created in partnership with Seattle Center, the festival will feature 6 program channels and a virtual marketplace that will bring together local culture bearers, artists, creatives, sponsors, and merchants all on the From Home to Home platform.
This year's poster features artwork by renowned artist Robert L. Horton.
