This yearly gathering spotlights Black artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives from across Seattle, offering them a platform to share their talents. The 2026 theme, “I Choose You,” serves as a letter to Black love, music, and lyricism. Attendees will step into an immersive environment featuring music-inspired artwork that reflect on “love, longing, heartbreak, and healing.”
The program includes performances by Anokye Agofomma, a Ghanaian cultural dance group, along with a fashion show highlighting Black fashion designers. Featured creatives also include Monae Brown of Moes Art Gallery and Chloe Morris of Couture Creations by Chloe.
Guests will also get to enjoy wine from Woodinville’s On Blended Knee winery and delicious bites from from Black-owned eateries such as Soul Fusion Food and Sansinos Catering.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Family First Community Center, founded by former Seattle Seahawks player Doug Baldwin Jr.. The Renton-based nonprofit provides vital services including financial literacy workshops for parents, Mathletics classes for youth, senior storytelling programs, and other community-centered initiatives.
