IMMERSE | Unpoetry at the Frye
March 19th | 6:30 – 7:30 pm @ Frye Art Museum
Step into a world where visual art sparks sound, word, and movement at the Unpoetry Series, inspired by the works of Priscilla Dobler Dzul and Camille Trautman. This captivating evening brings together multidisciplinary artists—including Arabella, composer Eddie Mospan, poet Caleb Thomson, and the interdisciplinary collective Til the Teeth—who create ekphrastic works, responding directly to visual art through music, spoken word, and performance. Created in partnership with Eric M. Acosta, founder of Unpoetry, the series blends collaboration, experimentation, and genre-bending performance, offering audiences a fully immersive experience. Each event invites participants to engage with art in new ways—listening, feeling, and reflecting—turning a gallery visit into a dynamic conversation between mediums. Whether you’re drawn to poetry, music, or the visual arts, the Unpoetry Series offers a rare chance to experience local artists pushing the boundaries of creative expression while finding fresh meaning in the works on display.

DISCOVER | 19th National Film Festival for Talented Youth
March 26th – 29th @ SIFF Cinema Downtown
Seattle’s commitment to championing the arts—especially youth-driven creativity—shines brightly at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY). Now in its 19th year and recently brought under the SIFF umbrella, NFFTY has grown into the world’s largest festival dedicated to filmmakers aged 24 and under, offering local audiences a front-row seat to bold, inventive, and boundary-pushing short films from around the globe. The festival is more than just screenings; it serves as a launchpad for emerging talent, with panels, workshops, and networking events that connect young directors with industry professionals, mentors, and peers. One of the most exciting aspects? Every official selection is eligible for distribution deals, giving these rising filmmakers a real opportunity to share their work with audiences far beyond Seattle. For cinephiles and supporters of the next generation of storytellers, NFFTY is a dynamic, inspiring celebration of youth, vision, and cinematic innovation.
