About Future Arts
“Technology should reflect who we are, not define who we are.” Two women playfully walk alongside an AR model in black, white, and red swirls. With decades of experience curating immersive artworks, public events, digital programming, and gastronomic pop-ups, Future Arts brings together local and international underrepresented creative talent and tech-based art forms to enrich and enliven Seattle neighborhoods and evolve global networks.
