Black History Month is a time to honor Black communities and celebrate their contributions, past and present. The Ticket’s year-round mission is to connect audiences with performers and venues, and for February 2023, we’re emphasizing shows that feature some of the Seattle area’s best Black artists.
Use this quick list to find new favorite creators to support now and into the future.
