Teaching Artist // Project Managment
(Summer 2023- Fall 2023)
Path with Art is a non profit that centers art as a form of healing and transformation for those who have experienced hardship and loss. I was a Teaching Artist facilitating and project managing our work through summer quarter creating two costumes for our big fundraiser; Art for all Ball. Our class theme was Natrual Forms. We naturally dyed fabric with root vegetables and also used moss as decorative accessories for creative styling and fabric maniupated patches. Our costume raised $50,000 !
Assistant Creative Director (2022-2024)
Enby is the phonetic spelling of the letters “N and B” which represent non-binary people. Enby Party is a non-binary art and music collective based out of Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and all Coast Salish lands (AKA Seattle), founded in 2018. Our aim is to create safe and accessible spaces for queer and trans joy, centering the contributions of QTBIPOC artists. We put on events and release music compilations on cassette tapes. Last year we produced our first zine. I am the creative director and cofounder of the collective.
In Summer 2023, Enby Party and Northwest Film Forum collaborated to present a two-day festival featuring live music, film, dance, drag, performance and visual art exploring trans and non-binary identity and life cycles. The lineup showcased over 25 live performers and filmmakers, plus a virtual gallery of visual artists who were selected from an open call. Additionally, Enby Party released Volume 4 of our cassette tape compilation and our very first art and literary zine
