ACES // Artists of Color Expo & Symposium is a BIPOC-led, community-curated program featuring art exhibits, live performances, presentations, workshops, film screenings, artist talks, artist opportunity tables and art market. We are coming together with intentionality to value our work and see one another as resources, while focusing on the challenges and solutions we face as artists of color in the Pacific Northwest.
ACES 2023 is a hybrid event, presented online and in person.
Mission: The Arts Commission is a catalyst for the arts, advancing the role of the arts in the lives of individuals and communities throughout the state.
Vision: The arts thrive and are celebrated throughout Washington State, and are woven into the fabric of vital and vibrant communities.
