Arte Noir: A Beacon of Black Art and Culture in Seattle

Kiesha Garrison of Hey Black Seattle stopped by the heart of Seattle's Central District known as Arte Noir, a haven for Black art and culture. Founded by local legend Vivian Phillips and run by her daughter, Jazmyn Scott, this black art specialty shop and fine arts gallery is a vibrant space showcasing the talent and creativity of the Black community.

Jazmyn, a longtime arts advocate, understands the importance of representation. "It's crucial for folks to have a space to be showcased, highlighted, and represented," she says. "Arte Noir provides that platform, fostering a sense of belonging and pride within the Black community."
