According to organizers the White Center Artwalk, which takes place on the third Saturday of the month, has been growing in popularity and scope over the past couple of months and this has led them to seek more artists to participate. This is not a conservative artwalk where paintings hang on walls and people walk around quietly viewing them. This is White Center, and true to the community's active spirit they are seeking dancers. spoken word artists, street performers, musicians and "live" artists, all encouraged to perform.

Here's a letter sent by the organizers/curators of the Artwalk:

Dear Artists & Art Lovers,
White Center Arts and the White Center Art Walk would like to invite you to participate in our 3rd Saturday Art Walk on August 20, 2011 from 6pm - 9pm. Our art walk has been growing at a fast and furious pace in the past two months, and we feel the excitement building. In June, we curated a Mini Short Film Festival with three unique programs shown at Full Tilt, Southgate Skate Rink and Big Al Brewery. Just this past weekend, we curated live painters at 3.14 Bakery, Big Al's and the sidewalks of 16th Ave SW to great and enthusiastic response.

For August, our theme is Live Performance. We are putting a call out to dancers, dance troupes, spoken word artists, live painters, street performers and musicians.

There are many great spaces to accommodate any and all types of performance art in White Center. We have space at 3.14 Bakery, Company Bar, Full Tilt, Big Al's, Southgate Skate Rink, Triangle Pub, Sidewalks and Crosswalks and more!

Once we get artist's commitments, we will create a schedule with times and locations.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please respond by August 8th,
2011 with:
