About this Spotlight
Join us to listen to the fresh and new sounds of the The Residency youths who have been participating in skills building workshops and classes to deepen their understanding of their own identity, power, and artistry.
Set on Seattle’s waterfront at the newly finished built-in amphitheater of the Salish Steps at Overlook Walk, enjoy a two-hour event featuring young hip-hop artists with the seas, mountains, and city as your backdrop!
About The Residency
The Residency seeks to build a powerful community of young hip-hop artists equipped with the artistic leadership skills, business acumen, and mentorship necessary to become professional, cultural change makers.
Through their participation in The Residency, young artists from low-income families in the Seattle area acquire tangible artistic and professional skills while also gaining confidence, teamwork, and a deepened understanding of their identity.
