A Creative Industries Newsletter

Level up with creative career tips - coupled with a side of inspiration
To promote equity and inclusion in the creative industries, we use our newsletter each month to amplify the voices of BIPOC creatives in Washington State. We hand over the newsletter and invite a creative of color to populate it with information and inspiration that reflects their perspective and their community.
