Welcome to the Seattle Arts Voter Guide! Compiled by MFA and MPA students at Seattle University enrolled in the “Public Policy and the Arts” course, this nonpartisan guide seeks to engage all City Council Candidates on how they imagine the arts as part of Seattle. Seattle University neither endorses nor opposes any candidate.
Here in Seattle, the arts engage with issues of access, affordability, community, creativity, culture, disability, displacement, the economy, equity, gentrification, neighborhood growth, preservation, race, tourism, and more. We think it is important that all Candidates and Councilmembers engage with the arts as a central part of Seattle.
