Uptown Movie Night at Counterbalance Park

About This Grant

Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition (UACC) seeks funding for a community movie night at Counterbalance Park on September 19, 2024. This event will engage the neighborhood with a free, family-friendly screening of short films during Uptown Artwalk. Specific event goals: attract 150+ attendees; engage 5+ local businesses for partner promotion; increase Uptown Artwalk attendance; highlight Uptown arts & culture organizations; demonstrate Counterbalance Park's potential as a public, outdoor event venue. Seattle Parks & Recreation will provide A/V; SIFF will provide film curation; Uptown Alliance, Tidy Uptown, Uptown Artwalk, & UACC will share planning and promotion. We hope to purchase ADA-accessible planking to ensure wheelchair access to the gravel-covered park. We seek support for event insurance, film licensing fees, and complimentary refreshments. We respectfully request $3,000 to support this community-led event to benefit residents, artists, and businesses in Uptown.
