    The Seattle Pride Parade is June 26 at 11 a.m. It’s now Seattle’s largest parade, and one of the largest Pride parades in the country attracting approximately 400,000 people. The parade route runs along Fourth Avenue in downtown Seattle between Pike Street and Denny Avenue, with accessibility services and reserved grandstand seating available. Following two years of virtual Pride festivities, this year’s theme is “Family Reunion” to mark the return of Seattle’s in-person celebration. Seattle Pride Parade is a free event produced by Seattle Pride, the folks who also produce the Seattle Pride in the Park, host the quarterly issues-oriented Pride Speaks community conversation events, provide grants and sponsorships to community-serving non-profit organizations and events, and advocate year-round in support of diversity, inclusivity, and equal human rights for all.

    The Baylor Project featuring Jean Baylor & Marcus Baylor - June 28-29

    Dimitriou's Jazz Alley
    $32.50
    07:30 PM - 09:00 PM, every day through Jun 29, 2022.

    Presented by KNKX. A husband. A wife. An astonishing duo built on love, family, faith, culture and community.

    These are the things that power The Baylor Project featuring Jean Baylor and Marcus Baylor. This enticing collaboration is steeped in the heart and soul of jazz. As the children of Pastors, Marcus and Jean's musical roots were planted deep within the church, and it was there that the road was paved for the influence of jazz, gospel, blues and soul to make its mark. Their debut CD "The Journey", released on their own label, Be A Light, topped the Billboard Jazz Chart at Number 8 in 2017 and a year later garnered 2 GRAMMY® Nominations for Best Jazz Vocal Album and Best Traditional R&B Performance. Two years later during one of the most challenging years in recent history, The Baylors released their single, “Sit On Down” in 2020 which earned a 3rd GRAMMY® Nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance, solidifying The Baylor Project as an undeniable force. Their second album, “Generations,” released in 2021 earned the duo its first NAACP Image Award Nomination for Outstanding Jazz Album-Vocal and its 4th GRAMMY® Nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. “Generations,” a cultural anthology rooted in everyday life experiences, becoming the #1 jazz vocal album on the JazzWeek radio charts and the standout song “We Swing (The Cypher)” was named among NPR Music’s 100 Best Songs of 2021.

    Marcus and Jean Baylor signed an exclusive distribution agreement, in partnership with their artist-owned label, Be A Light with Motown Gospel (a division of Capitol CMG/Capitol and Universal Music Group) making The Baylor Project’s catalogue available for the first time across all streaming platforms.

    Sara Gazarek - July 5-6

    Dimitriou's Jazz Alley
    $32.50
    07:30 PM - 09:00 PM, every day through Jul 06, 2022.

    Presented by KNKX. Graced with an “impeccable” voice (Winnipeg Free Press) and hailed as an artist that “may well turn out to be the next important jazz singer” by the LA Times, Sara Gazarek has been one of the leading lights of an impressive generation of jazz vocalists since her brilliant emergence at age 20. From the outside, her subsequent career has been the picture of success: five acclaimed albums, an ardent fanbase, enthusiastic reviews, and opportunities that have taken her around the world, leading to thrilling collaborations with some of her most respected and celebrated peers.

    In recent years, however, that picture has seemed increasingly incomplete; the light, breezy Sara that greeted audiences with a laugh and a song has seemed further and further removed from an ever more complicated reality. On her latest album, Thirsty Ghost, Gazarek finally brings her musical expression stunningly into phase with her emotional maturity. The “exquisite taste, bright wit and creative vitality” hailed by WNPR remain, but those qualities are potently shaded by a rich undercurrent of complex feeling and whole-hearted realities.

    Given the personal and professional upheaval Gazarek has endured since her last solo release, the playful Blossom Dearie tribute Blossom & Bee, it would be surprising if she had emerged unchanged. Both her marriage and a long-term musical partnership dissolved, followed by a tumultuous romantic relationship rife with doubts, deception, and infidelity. Most shocking of all was the near-fatal car accident suffered by Gazarek’s mother, suddenly confronting the singer with the very real possibility of losing a loved one. The double GRAMMY® nominated Thirsty Ghost reflects on those experiences, lacing the dazzling light that’s always been present in her music with a deep vein of heart-rending sophistication.

    While these recent changes have seemed seismic, audiences have marveled at Gazarek’s evolution on illustrious stages around the world, where she’s headlined and worked with such modern jazz greats as Billy Childs, Fred Hersch, and Helen Sung. Her mature sound has also been guided and inspired by mentors and collaborators like Grammy-winning vocalist Kurt Elling, bassist John Clayton Jr., keyboardist Larry Goldings, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and saxophonist Seamus Blake.

    "Life in One Cubic Foot"

    Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
    The Burke is open Tues-Sun 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
    12:00 AM - 11:59 PM, every day through Jul 17, 2022.

    From Seattle’s Seward Park to a coral reef in the South Pacific, Life in One Cubic Foot reveals the diversity of nature and inspires visitors to become community scientists. The exhibition reveals the amazing variety of life that can be found using “biocubes”—one-cubic-foot frames used to survey the animals and plants living in an ecosystem. Featuring stunning photographs by David Liittschwager, the exhibition includes biocube-related objects and tools, animal models, hands-on interactives, and videos. What can you discover in just one cubic foot? As it turns out, a whole lot! Biocube samples—the life within one cubic foot of soil or water over one day—capture enough variation to explore the complexity of entire ecosystems. Most of the world’s biodiversity occurs at small scales: organisms hidden in leaf litter, under river rocks, and in the nooks and crannies of environments. Life in One Cubic Foot beautifully conveys the incredible diversity of natural life around the world. The exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and is supplemented with Burke Museum research, stories, and collections.

    "From Dusk to Dawn: Nordic Art from Sweden's Nationalmuseum"

    National Nordic Museum
    The Museum is open Wed-Sun from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
    12:00 AM - 11:59 PM, every day through Jul 17, 2022.

    From Dawn to Dusk: Nordic Art from Sweden’s Nationalmuseum presents 56 paintings by Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish artists held in the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. The exhibition traces the final decades of the 19th century, a period of radical development in art of the Nordic countries, through scenes of everyday life, portraits, and landscapes by Vilhelm Hammershøi, Hanna Hirsch-Pauli, Carl Larsson, August Strindberg, Anders Zorn, and many others. Beginning with the paintings of Nordic artists working in the realist style dominant in 19th-century France, the exhibition then turns to follow the work of those artists who spent time abroad and returned home to see their native countries with new eyes. This return launched a new approach to painting, particularly in the depiction of the landscape, a genre that has come to be regarded as quintessentially Nordic. Around 1890, a national style developed. Nature and the countryside figure prominently in turn-of-the-century Nordic art, but From Dawn to Dusk also highlights the growing interest of Nordic artists in depicting the growth and activity of modern cities.

    Summer Book Bingo 2022, the adult summer reading program co-presented by Seattle Arts & Lectures and The Seattle Public Library, launches today! For eight years, Summer Book Bingo has been a joyful, connective, and free way for Washington state readers to expand their summer reading—and to enter to win fabulous prizes!

    HOW IT WORKS: Each square on the bingo board presents a reading challenge, where you read and record a book title that fits that category. New categories this year on the adult board include “Banned or Challenged Book,” “Set South of the Equator,” “A Book About Books,” “LGBTQ+ Love Story,” and many more.

    Have young readers in your life? SAL offers a Kids Book Bingo Board for readers ages 0-17, too!

    1) Download your board. Fill in the card with the titles and authors of the books you read from now through September 6, 2022.

    2) Read books, fill in the squares, and find your community. Want to find reading recommendations? Search the hashtag #BookBingoNW2022 on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook to get ideas from our wonderful community of bingo players.

    SPL librarians have also prepared suggested reading lists for many bingo squares, which you can access on spl.org. For more recommendations, you can also ask a librarian at a location with in-building services or fill out a brief form at www.spl.org/YourNext5.

    And, we always recommend checking in with your local independent bookstores for suggestions! (A list of SAL's bookstore partners is on the back of each board.)

    3) Enter to win fabulous prizes! When you’ve filled the front and back of your bingo board for either Bingo (a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line) or Blackout (filling out all 25 squares), you can submit it to enter prize drawings in a number of ways; see the back of your board for details.

    Blackout card entrants will be entered in the drawing for one of three grand prizes, including a subscription to the 2022/23 SAL series of your choice. Both blackout card and bingo entrants will be automatically entered to win a gift card from one of Seattle’s independent bookstores.

    "Embodied Change: South Asian Art Across Time"

    Seattle Asian Art Museum
    Museum is open Friday through Sunday. See website for ticket information.
    10:00 AM - 05:00 PM, every day through Jul 10, 2022.

    Spanning a period from the third millennium BCE to today, the works in this exhibition offer metamorphic and compelling images of the human body. Most of the artists utilize female and feminized forms in a myriad of ways, including as a devotional object, as a mode of self-representation, and to question the safety of public spaces.

    Devi, the great goddess who holds immeasurable sacredness and strength, is a typical and potent subject within the canon of South Asian art. In modern and contemporary art, South Asian-identified artists have reacted against traditional norms and challenged gender, national, and social stereotypes. Some have reoriented the exemplary and fierce model of the goddess. Others have attended to new subjects, selecting everyday townspeople—such as fisherwomen and local schoolgirls—to be the protagonists of their work.

    Each of the artists here invest the human body with the power to question social, political, and normative fictions. By doing so, they invite you to explore the complexities of the human body: to contemplate and question which bodies are conferred with greater degrees of humanity and perhaps to imagine, with them, different ways to embody change.
