Members of the group attended the opening of “Central District Legacy - Black Power. Black Panthers.” at over the weekend.

Former Panthers and Board Members had the honor of taking in the exhibit, meeting some of the artists and speaking with attendees about the Prelude exhibition opening on June 12th at the BPP Interpretive Center.

Power to the people is not a slogan. It’s a lineage.
Seattle artists—this is a call to step into something real.

The Seattle Black Panther Party Legacy Group is building The Prelude—an opening gesture toward the Seattle Black Panther Party Interpretive Center. We’re seeking artists whose work carries memory, resistance, and truth… not just aesthetics, but weight.

This is about legacy.

This is about lived experience.

This is about what still echoes—and what must be said now.

3-10 artists will be selected to contribute original works engaging the spirit and impact of the Seattle Black Panther Party.

If your work speaks to the people, this is your moment to answer.

Submit / Inquire: [email protected]

Installation: June 6-June 9, 2026

Opening: June 12, 2026

Come build something that lasts.

Honoring Legacy, Growing Futures 🌱

On March 15, 2026, members of the Seattle Black Panther Party Legacy Committee joined community partners for the soft opening of the Seattle Black Panther Party Park in Skyway.

Created by Na’eemah and the team at Nurturing Roots, this powerful new space honors the Panthers’ historic free breakfast and food justice work while nurturing community through gardening, art, and education.

The park features eight stunning murals by local artists, printed on metal and installed throughout the site—each telling a piece of Black Panther Party and community history.

We were honored to stand with elders, organizers, and artists as this vision came to life. The official grand opening is April 19, and we’re excited about the partnership potential between the Park and the Seattle Black Panther Party Interpretive Center.

This is what legacy sounds like.

We sat with five original Seattle Black Panthers and listened—deeply. Not for nostalgia, but for truth: how a community organizes itself to live, to protect, to feed, to teach, to endure.

Huge gratitude to for producing these oral histories with care, respect, and craft. Thank you for holding the story the right way.
This is only the beginning.

What you’re seeing here is a doorway—into what’s coming next.
Opening soon. Stay close.
🖤✊🏾
