ACTIVITIES 

Nail Art 
Join our Frye teaching artists as they transform the Art Studio into a nail salon. Follow artists Kelly Akashi and Laura Hart Newlon’s lead and turn your hands into a work of art! 

Collaborative Ikebana 
Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement with more than 600 years of practice. These natural artworks often reflect the feelings of the artist. Learn first-hand about this craft and contribute to a large-scale installation that will be shaped by the energy of Community Day participants. 

Mapping Memories 
How do objects represent our memories and what role does place have in creating a community? Using images, maps, and storytelling, we’ll create a visual and written narrative about what binds us together and reflect on the links to history we share. 

Zine-Making: ABCs of the CID 
Learn more about Seattle’s Chinatown International District (CID) by creating your own zine! Zines started in the 1930s, their name later shortened from “fan magazines.” Come color, cut, and staple to make your own fan zine of Seattle’s most unique neighborhood.
