🎵🎟️ The Spotlight — Annual Fundraiser for Totem Star
The Spotlight is Totem Star’s signature annual fundraiser, bringing together artists, community leaders, and supporters to uplift young musicians. This year, we celebrate Totem Star’s 15th birthday with an unforgettable evening of live performances, connection, and impact. The Spotlight is making a comeback with delicious food, a lively dance party featuring a DJ, a spirited raise the paddle, and our playful theme “Come As You Were.” Guests are encouraged to dress like their 15-year-old selves, whether that means rocking a favorite band tee, throwback formalwear, or a look that captures those unforgettable teenage years. Together, we will honor 15 years of mentorship, production, and performance while fueling the next generation of youth artists.

📍🏛️ South Lake Union: Inside & Out Tour — Seattle Architecture Foundation x Olson Kundig
Join the Seattle Architecture Foundation, Olson Kundig, and 9th & Thomas to celebrate South Lake Union. From industrial district to vibrant neighborhood, SLU brings together industry, culture, and amenities in a beautiful natural setting along Lake Union’s south shore. The evening will begin with a tour of 9th & Thomas led by Brian Walters, Associate Principal at Olson Kundig. Originally the site of Sellen Construction’s headquarters in 1944, 9th & Thomas was developed by Sellen’s owners, the Redman family, to serve as a community hub that would continually respond to SLU’s rapid growth and transformation. The mixed-use project includes office and retail space, a public lobby, and an artist-in-residence program that celebrates SLU’s creative flair. After exploring this interior space, step out into the surrounding neighborhood with SAF’s expert guides to experience some of the stops featured on our South Lake Union and Modern Beauty & the Pedestrian Experience tours, exploring the neighborhood from historic, developmental, and design perspectives. Then, return to 9th & Thomas to enjoy a light reception and mingling.

🎨 Seattle vs. Everyone — An Art Show by Ernesto Ybarra
On October 24th, the city becomes both muse and challenger in Seattle vs Everyone, a solo show by longtime Pike Place Market artist Ernesto Ybarra. After 14 years in Seattle, Ernesto has witnessed the city’s strange magnetism—its beauty, its grit, and its power to test anyone chasing a dream. Drawing from his Mexican heritage and a lifetime spent moving between cultures, Ernesto brings a keen eye for subtle differences and shared emotions. His new work captures the tension of a place that can mesmerize or devour, inviting viewers to feel the city’s abundance and its edge in every brushstroke. Seattle vs Everyone is a warning, a love letter, and a celebration of survival, all at once.
