Grand Opening Event of Refugee Makers Space

About This Grant

The grand opening of our Makers Space in Lake City invites the public to celebrate people and crafts from all over the world. The event will be held at 12545 Lake City Way NE on Wednesday December 4, 2019 from 4-7:00 p.m. Our artisans are refugees and immigrants from Bhutan, China, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Morocco, and other countries. They will share their handmade garments and crafts from their own cultures, as well as food and music from their countries of origin. This free event will build connections between newly-arrived refugee families and the greater Seattle community into which they are integrating. This project will be completed by January 31, 2020.
